2. System Description
2.1 HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System Description
2.1.1 System Description

The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System-configuration varies depending upon the given purchase
order. However, the basic CCTV system normally consists of a Central Electronics Rack
which houses the HERNIS 8x8 Matrix and individual Power supplies for the cameras. The
different configurations possibilities of the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System can be found in the
applicable HERNIS data sheet.
The CCTV system is controlled by using the OK450 Control Panel, also referred to as the
Operator's Control Panel. Alternatively, the System can be operated via a PC based MMI
(Multi Media Interface). The standard HERNIS PC based MMI is called HWIN or Master
View Basic. All cameras to monitor selections and other system functions are activated by
means of the Operator’s keyboard.
A customer developed MMI Interface based upon the HERNIS Development Toolkit with
ActiveX can also be utilized for controlling the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV system. The HWIN
application operating procedure is described in separate procedures.
2.1.2 General
The HSS05 Switch8x8 card with flash programmable microcontroller (AVR-based) is the
main controller card in the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System. It controls all system level functions
in addition to the 8x8 video switch matrix.
The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System is designed for communicating internally on a Controller
Area Network (CAN) and RS422/232 externally to cameras and keyboards. The RS422/232
port may be used for interfacing to other systems.
The system does also have an Ethernet port which can be used to control the system by means
of the HWIN Keyboard Application.
The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System controlled by the HSS05 Switch8x8 card will have the same
functionality as a basic HERNIS CCTV system, but with the following limitations:

The HSS05 Switch 8x8 card will always be located in slot 2 of the HERNIS System node,
and the HSS05 Power card is always located in slot 1.
The HSS05 Extension Panel will always be located next to HSS05 Switch 8x8 card in slot 3
for extension of 4 video outputs.
HSS05 Commux16 Remote Control Card

The HSS05 Commux16 Remote Control Card is responsible for all communication to the
camera stations in the system. The signalling interface protocol between the camera stations
and the control card is RS422.
HSS05 Multicom 2channel Serial Port Card

The HSS05 Multicom 2channel Serial Port Card allows for the termination of two keyboards
inputs and or auxiliary input designed for equipment needing a RS232/RS422 interface. The
RS232/422 makes it possible to interface other equipment such as external alarm systems. The
Multicom card facilitates two-way communication between keyboard and receiver in order to
ensure that any command function is carried out.
HSS05 Multicom with Ethernet Connection

HSS05 Multicom with Ethernet Connection is similar to the previously mentioned Multicom
card. It allows for an Ethernet connection and one keyboard input and or auxiliary input
designed for equipment needing a RS232/RS422 interface.
HSS05 IO-32-8 Alarm Card

The HSS05 IO-32-8 Alarm Card handles alarms or action requests from external systems,
through potential free relay contacts. The incoming alarm signal should be in normally open /
normally closed format. The card has a total of 32 input ports for incoming alarms / action
requests, and 8 TTL output ports for triggering of external equipment or for system failure
mode indication. If other I/O formats are used, an additional relay board is supplied. The
Alarm Card has also two serial ports for the termination of two keyboards inputs and or
auxiliary input designed for equipment needing a RS232/RS422 interface. The protocol
triggering input alarms via the serial port is available upon request. The system response to an
activation of the alarms / action request is normally configured during set up of the system. A
typical action can be to trigger the cameras to go to pre-defined positions and switch the
images from the alarm area to dedicated monitors.

2.1.3 "HERNIS" CCTV System

The CCTV system intended for the " AC Ideal Rig 153 NOV 8570 - CCTV 8x8" project is
based on the well proven HERNIS 8X8 control and matrix switcher.
The system consists basically of the following items:
 3 ea. PT9 safe area camera stations with pan/tilt

 1 ea. Touch monitor (by others) w/HERNIS Master View Basic software
 1 ea. Central Rack containing fuses, HERNIS 05 System Node, HSS05 Switch 8x8 card,
power supply for up to 8 camera stations and termination blocks/BNCs for field cables
 HERNIS Multicable(s)
The system is designed for various combinations of camera inputs, monitor outputs and
keyboards.
2.1.4 System Features

The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System allows the operator to command any camera via the
operator's keyboard, and view the video image on any monitor.
The remote control functions available to the operator are:
 Selection of any camera to any operator station / monitor
 Control of camera functions on any camera
 Control of pan and tilt of any camera station, with pan & tilt units
 Playback of recorded video from any camera station if a recorder is part of supply
 Record video from any camera station if a recorder is part of supply
 Program and release Pre-Set Positions
 Program and release sequences
 Program and release Switch groups of camera stations (multi-switch function)
 Program and selection of Camera Groups
 Program Alarm Actions
 Access to Service Functions
2.1.5 Cabling
All remote controlled cameras are powered from the central equipment rack in order to save
cabling cost. Each camera will normally have its own dedicated key switch and fuse - which is
an important safety feature.

2.1.6 Camera Stations

The HERNIS camera stations consist of various types to suit different requirements for each
specific project. For marine applications we recommend stainless steel for safe and
maintenance free operation.
All outdoor camera housings and pan/tilts are made from AISI 316L (stainless steel), which is
ideally suited for marine applications. The surface is electro polished and require no
maintenance at all. Ingress protection to IP66 (some versions to IP67 and IP68), and certified
for hazardous area, if applicable.
Where the camera stations are fitted with a pan/tilt, this is a heavy-duty model with feed back
potentiometers for pan and tilt.
An important feature is the modular design of the pan/tilt camera station, where the cabling is
done internally in the pan/tilt up to the camera housing, and the problems with exposed,
moving cables are avoided.
Internal cabling simplifies installation, service and improves the reliability.

The telemetry receiver is mounted inside the pan/tilt, and thus the cost of a junction box is
saved.
The pan/tilt unit has a powerful design in order to withstand vibration.
For easy operation, the pan/tilt has variable speed. When the operator zooms in on a distant
object, it is required to use very slow speed in order to keep the object within the picture
frame, but when the pan/tilt move from one pre-programmed pre-set position to another, it is
beneficial to run at a higher speed.
As a standard we use a high quality colour CCD camera with high resolution and excellent
light sensitivity. Zoom lens between 10 to 18 times optical zoom for pan/tilt camera stations,
with pot meters for pre-set positions.

4. Installation
4.1 Unpacking, Field Handling and Lifting Instructions
4.1.1 Purpose and Scope

This document describes the procedure that shall be followed during unpacking,
transportation and lifting of the CCTV equipment.
4.1.2 Unpacking Procedure

Unpacking of the equipment must take place indoors, in a dry, clean environment, free from
dust and other particles, and at normal room temperature (10-25C).
Before removing the packing material (plywood crates, standard cardboards boxes, etc.)
inspect the goods for any visible damage. If any damage is observed, immediately contact the
responsible Site Supervisor, and inform HERNIS Scan Systems prior to commissioning.
Record the nature of damage, and check if any damage has been done to the equipment
packed inside (after the package material has been removed). If possible, take a picture of the
damaged equipment. Forward the image to HERNIS' Logistics Dept., either digitally by
e-mail or by mail. Description of the damage must be enclosed.
Do not use unsuitable tools or undue force while removing the equipment from the packaging
material.
Check the contents of the crate/box against the packing list located inside and/or outside the
crate/box. If there are any items missing, immediately inform the responsible Site Supervisor
and/or HERNIS Scan Systems.
If moisture-absorbing material (silica or Cortec) is used inside racks, cubicles or units, these
should remain in place until on-site erection takes place and the equipment is ready for
installation, wiring, and pre-testing.
The best solution is not to unpack the equipment until it is to be installed. If this is impossible
or impractical, take care while moving the equipment from where it is to be unpacked to
where it is to be installed. Cover the equipment with thick polyethylene sheeting and do not
expose the equipment to rain, snow, etc.
Bear in mind that this is delicate, electronic equipment, and thus has to be treated carefully.
Where lifting lugs are provided by HERNIS Scan Systems, use these for lifting the equipment.
If sub-units have been removed from racks and/or cubicles and packed separately, please do
not replace these units before the rack and/or cubicle has been properly installed. The best
solution is not to unpack the sub-units until they are needed for installation or commissioning.
Any damage caused by failure to follow these instructions will relieve HERNIS Scan Systems
of the responsibility for consequential damage to the equipment.

4.1.3 Field Handling Procedure
4.1.3.1 Transportation
All equipment is packed in plywood crates (6 mm min.) and placed on wooden skids/pallets.
If ocean freight is used, all crates shall be shipped in 20' or 40' containers if shipped on deck.
Crates may be shipped without a container if crates are shipped in a dry storage hold/room
under deck.
All land transport of goods shall be by means of fully enclosed furniture vans or rail cars.
All goods shall be shipped in an upright position, no more that 3 crates in height. No other
crates/boxes/materials shall be shipped on top of the goods.
The goods shall not be shipped in a container/van containing materials of corrosive nature.
All goods shall be securely braced during shipment.
Should it be necessary to transport/ship the equipment after it has been unpacked, the
equipment shall be replaced in the original packing material (or equivalent) prior to
transport/shipping of goods.
Transporting the equipment from the warehouse to the erection location is the responsibility
of the customer. Be aware of and follow instructions given in the Unpacking Procedure. The
transportation is not completed until the equipment is at the location where it is to be fixed to
the designated foundation.
4.1.3.2 Site Location/Erection Area

To avoid damage to the equipment, all other "Heavy work" such as welding, painting etc.,
must be completed before bringing the equipment into the designated installation area. Ensure
that the surroundings are as clean as possible, and that all rubbish etc. has been removed. Also
check that the foundation is ready to support the equipment. Loose equipment should be
protected against theft.
If any additional work is necessary in the vicinity of the equipment, all precautions must be
taken to protect the equipment from dust, mechanical damage etc.
WARNING
If pan and tilt units are installed, do not turn the pan and tilt by hand. Turning the pan
and/or tilt by hand will cause damage to the gearbox assembly.

4.1.4 Lifting Instructions

Most of the delivered CCTV equipment can easily be lifted by hand or by means of a lifting
strap. However, where lifting lugs have been provided by HERNIS Scan Systems (central
rack), use these for lifting the equipment. If the monitors are to be lifted by hand, lift the
monitor with the screen facing towards you.
If sub-units have been removed from racks and/or cubicles and packed separately, please do
not mount these sub-units in the rack/cubicle before the rack/cubicle is properly installed. It is
recommended that all sub-units remain packed until they are needed for installation or
commissioning.
WARNING
Caution should be exercised when lifting the pan and tilt unit. If a lifting strap is used,
place strap around the pan housing to avoid turning the pan and tilt manually. Turning
the pan and tilt by hand or otherwise, will damage the equipment.
Any damage caused by failure to follow these instructions will relieve HERNIS Scan Systems
of the responsibility for consequential damage to the equipment.

4.2 Installation Instructions for HERNIS Camera Station

This document describes the general rules/considerations that should be taken into account
prior to installation of the camera stations delivered by HERNIS Scan Systems.
4.2.2 Location of Camera Stations

The camera station must be fixed to a rigid steel or concrete, vibration-free structure.
It is extremely important to consider all aspects, which might have influence on the picture
quality. If the Engineering dept. has any doubt in this regard, call HERNIS' Service
Department for support.
4.2.3 General Rules

Cameras should not be mounted too close to the object to be viewed. Try to locate the camera
at least 5 metres away from the principle-viewing field. This applies particularly to cameras
with zoom lenses. It is easy access to the units, for service/maintenance.
Camera Stations with Pan & Tilt shall be mounted in an upright (vertical) position. The
camera stations may be mounted up side down, but some configuration must be performed.
Contact HERNIS' Service Department., for instructions.
If a location requires a special bracket, e.g. for beam support, vertical, diagonal or horizontal
positioning of the equipment, contact HERNIS. We have standard brackets available which
will meet any special requirements the customer may have regarding placement of the CCTV
equipment.
NOTE:
Prior to camera station installation, field cabling and installation of all other related equipment
must be completed and ready to supply the remote units with power. The camera station(s)
may be equipped with electrical heating, and is essential for the unit's life expectancy to have
the units powered up as soon as possible, even if the camera stations are not going to be in
operation for a period. The heating element inside the camera station will prevent build up of
condensation inside the unit.
For termination details of the camera stations, refer to the Interconnection Diagrams for
camera stations supplied for the system or contact HERNIS Project Department for further
assistance.
If camera stations are to be lifted on to the mounting surface by crane, place the lifting ropes
around the pan/tilt unit.

1. The camera Station must be mounted on a level horizontal plane. The camera station
can be mounted upside down, but then some configuration has to be done. Please
contact HERNIS Service Dept. for instructions. Basically, the PAN direction of the
camera station needs to be reversed.
2. Use a level to verify that the mounting plate is horizontal prior to drilling holes or
fixing bolts.
3. Arrange the mounting holes in the manner as de shown in illustration 2. The gland
should point in the opposite direction of the “Direction of View”. The arrangement is
shown in illustration 3. Also refer to the applicable General Arrangement drawing for
Footprint details.
4. Lift the camera station onto the mounting surface. Fix the pan and tilt unit to the
mounting surface by using four (4) M12*35 stainless steel bolts with nuts and
washers. Never use other fixing devices than stainless steel in order to prevent material
damage and corrosion. Do not use bolts or stud bolts at field cable input.
Illustration No.2
NOTE:
Make sure that the cable from the junction box below the pan & tilt unit is well supported, and
check the cable gland after installation for damage.

Doc. ID: 28846020401BB
Rev. Date: 28.10.2014
Be aware that the pan and tilt unit is mechanically and electrically prevented from rotating
more than ≈ 350, hence, there is a "blind zone" when zoom angel (view angel) is smaller than
10°. The direction of the blind angle coincides with the direction of the unit’s cable gland.
To prevent this "blind zone" from obstructing the required field of view, the cable gland
must be directly opposite to the central field/line of view prior to fixing the unit to the
mounting surface.
Illustration No:3
If the unit is supplied with wiper/washer make sure that the tank is filled with washer fluid.
For a climate with temperature below freezing point, use a mixture of water and antifreeze
fluid appropriate for the operating temperature conditions.
NOTE:
If the water system has been allowed to "run dry" and/or created an "air lock", remove the
rubber tube connected to the check-valve (located at the washer unit) and ventilate the washer
sufficiently to allow the air out of the system.
Re-connect the hose to the check valve once the water flows (Illustration No.4).

4.5.3 Termination of BNC Connectors

BNC connectors are normally used together with HERNIS Multicables (all types). Use a
crimping tool device in order to crimp the BNC connector onto the coaxial wire inside the
Multicable. It is most common to use male BNC connectors on the Multicable. However, this
may vary from item to item, hence, check the BNC type of which the Multicable is going to.
The following items can be ordered from HERNIS Scan Systems AS.
Part number: 050100 - Crimping tool for BNC connectors

Part number: 026044 - MALE BNC crimp connector.
4.5.4 Termination of Other Multicable Cords

Remove adequate length of the outer sheet of the multicore cable, so that the individual cords
can be attached to the termination blocks without being stretched.
Remove 1,0 cm of each multicable cord insulation and fasten the cords in each dedicated
terminal as indicated on the applicable interconnection diagram(s). Make sure that the cords
are tightened securely.
If present, fastened the cable gland securely before closing the junction box.

5. Operating
5.1 Operating Instructions for HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System
5.1.1 General
The CCTV System configuration varies depending upon the given purchase order. However,
the basic CCTV system normally consists of a Central Electronics Rack which houses Matrix
and individual Power supplies for the cameras.
The monitor/keyboard consoles are normally powered locally.
The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System is controlled by using an OK450 Control Panel also referred
to as the Operator's keyboard and/or a computer based software interface. The layout of the
keyboard is as per Illustration No 1. The printed text on the keyboard and menu display is in
English.
Alternatively, the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System can be operated via a computer based MMI
(Multi Media Interface). The standard HERNIS Scan Systems AS computer based MMI is
called HWIN or Master View Basic.
A customer developed MMI Interface based upon the HERNIS Development Toolkit with
ActiveX can also be utilized for controlling the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV system. The HWIN
application operating procedure is described in separate procedures.
5.1.2 HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System

The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System is based upon video matrix with inputs for video from all the
camera stations in the system and outputs for the monitors connected to the system. The -
matrix is controlled from one of the OK450 Control Panels installed, or a computer based
control station with interface for the HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System.
The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System is designed for communicating internally on a Controller
Area Network (CAN) and RS422/232 externally.
The system is modular based with nodes for a fixed number of camera stations, operating
keyboards and alarm interfaces. The nodes have communication ports for both CAN and
RS422/232 data signals. The RS422/232 port may be used for interfacing to other systems or
DVRs.
The HERNIS 8x8 CCTV System is designed to be controlled preferentially from the OK450
series Control Panels.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Preventive Maintenance Instructions for HERNIS CCTV System

This document describes the procedures required to perform preventive maintenance on all
CCTV equipment manufactured by HERNIS Scan Systems. The following procedure may
therefore contain information regarding preventive maintenance of equipment that is not
delivered under the given purchase order.
6.1.2 General Maintenance

HERNIS CCTV systems require very little maintenance as they consist mainly of "state-of-
the-art" electronics. However, if the following routines are implemented, higher reliability and
better performance can be expected:
6.1.2.1 As Required Maintenance

- Clean glass in front of camera
- Refill washer with liquid. Use anti-freeze of automotive grade
(Applies for cameras with wiper / washer).
6.1.2.2 14 Days (or after every offshore loading)

Applicable for sub-sea equipment only.
Inspect sub-sea cameras and lights for physical damage and water penetration. Inspect cables
and splices for physical damage.
6.1.2.3 Semi-annual Maintenance

Pan/tilt mounted cameras should be operated until stopped by limit switches in all 4 directions
(pan left + right, tilt up + down) using the arrow marked buttons on the keyboard. View the
picture from the actual camera to detect possible lugging.
Refill washer with liquid. Use anti-freeze of automotive grade (Applies for cameras with
wiper/washer).
Open sub-sea cameras/lights and change O-rings. Apply PCB grease on glass flanges and
connectors. Check heater in camera housing.
NOTE
When sub-sea housings have been opened, extreme care should be taken to get the O-rings
mounted correctly. Remember PCB grease on all bolts.
- 34 -
Doc. ID: 28846020401BB
Rev. Date: 28.10.2014
6.1.2.4 Yearly Maintenance

- Check all terminals for loose screws
- Inspect all plug-in connections for proper contacts.
- Clean contacts if required.
- Clean all cabinets, and fan at the back of the computer, using a vacuum cleaner.
- Clean all monitors and Operator's panels with a damp cloth. No chemicals please!
- Inspect all camera stations for possible physical damage.
6.1.2.5 Refilling of the Washer Tank

Mix anti-freeze and water together in proportions that are suitable for the operating
conditions.
Remove the cap on top of the tank (retained by a "check chain", 3,2 L tank only) and refill
with anti-freeze.
If the tank has run dry, the pump will be able to transport new fluid to the nozzle after re-
filling. The wipe / wash function has to be operated from the keyboard until new fluid squirts
on to the glass of the camera station.
6.1.2.6 Limitations
This CCTV system is of modular design, therefore most modules or sub-units can easily be
replaced if necessary.
However, it is not always practical to attempt repairs down to component-level without being
familiar with the system or in some cases, without having special tools/facilities.
WARNING
Disconnect all power to the EX equipment before opening the units. If any equipment is
opened for whatever reason, all O-rings must be inspected for damage and replaced if
necessary. All O-rings must be given an ample coating of grease (example PCB) prior to
re-assembly of the unit.
WARNING
HERNIS camera stations that are made from electro-polished stainless steel shall not be
painted or have any other type of coating whatsoever.

6.3.6 Replacing of Check Valve

If the water siphons from the tank, it is usually due to a faulty "check valve". This check valve
unit (located on hose under the nozzle opening) is simply replaced. If the water system has
been allowed to "run dry", thereby creating an "air lock", remove the rubber tube connected to
the check-valve (located at the wiper arm), and vent the air out of the system. Re-connect the
hose once water flows freely.
6.3.7 Replacement of water tank

The water tank is located at the rear end of the pan & tilt unit. Remove the two (2) bolts fixing
the tank to the pan / tilt unit, detach the water hose from the wiper nozzle and disconnect the
two (2) wires connected to the RX401 inside the pan/tilt housing.
To mount a new tank, fasten the tank by means of two (2) fixing bolts to the pan & tilt unit.
Attach the hose between the bottoms of the tank to the wiper unit. Attach the power cord at
the bottom of the tank to the bottom of the pan & tilt unit. The power cord is attached inside
the pan & tilt unit to the receiver card according to applicable internal drawings. For
additional help, please call the Service Department.

Crates will be shipped on pallet.
When shipping together with other goods, keep the crates away from material of a corrosive
nature.
Do not expose the crates to rain, snow or other harsh environmental conditions.
6.6.3 Storage Procedure

The equipment may be stored in the original plywood crates provided attention is paid to the
following:
Do not store equipment uncovered, must be preserved if removed from original box.
While in storage, the equipment should be inspected for damage every 3 months.
The equipment must be stored under "normal" warehouse conditions, i.e. temperature of 10 to
25C and maximum humidity of 95%.
Any material capable of creating a corrosive atmosphere must not be present in the vicinity.
If a dry, well-ventilated warehouse with normal (+20) temperature is used, the plywood
crates may be removed. The atmosphere in the warehouse should be free from dust
Do not store more than 3 crates in height. Other crates and/or equipment must not be stored
on top of the crates.

AXIS Q7401 - Product Description
Product Description
This manual applies to the AXIS Q7401 Video Encoder.
Key features
• Superb video quality
AXIS Q7401 offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces bandwidth and storage
requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
• Multiple H.264 streams
AXIS Q7401 can deliver multiple, individually configurable video streams simultaneously at full frame rate in all
resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL). This means that several video streams can be configured with
different compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.
• Image setting adjustment
The video encoder also enables users to adjust image settings such as contrast, brightness and saturation to improve
images before encoding takes place.
• Intelligent video capabilities
AXIS Q7401 includes intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection, active tampering alarm and audio
detection. The encoder’s external inputs and outputs can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling the
system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors.
• Power over Ethernet
Support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE802.3af) enables the unit, as well as the analog camera that is connected to it, to
receive power through the same cable as for data transmission. This makes for easy installation since no power outlet is
needed.
• Audio support and Local storage
AXIS Q7401 also supports two-way audio and has an SD/SDHC memory card slot for local storage.
• ONVIF
This is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants, and manufacturers to take
advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology. ONVIF enables interoperability between different
vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced cost, and future-proof systems.

AXIS Q7401 - Video and Audio Streams
Video and Audio Streams

The video encoder provides several image and video stream formats. Your requirements and the properties of your network
will determine the type you use.
The Live View page in the video encoder provides access to H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams, and to the list of available
stream profiles. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live
View page.
How to stream H.264

This video compression standard makes good use of bandwidth, and can provide high quality video streams at less than 1
Mbit/s.
Deciding which combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing requirements, and on the properties of
your network. The available options in AMC are:
Unicast RTP This unicast method (RTP over UDP) should

be your first consideration for live unicast
video, especially when it is important to
always have an up-to-date video stream,
even if some images are dropped. Unicasting is used for video-on-demand broadcasting,
so that there is no video traffic on the network until a
RTP over RTSP This unicast method (RTP tunneled over client connects and requests the stream.
RTSP) is useful as it is relatively simple to
configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic. Note that there are a maximum of 20 simultaneous
unicast connections.
RTP over RTSP over This unicast method can be used to traverse
HTTP firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured
to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing
RTP to be tunneled.
Multicast RTP This method (RTP over UDP) should be used for live multicast video. The video stream is always
up-to-date, even if some images are dropped.
Multicasting provides the most efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of cli-
ents viewing simultaneously. A multicast broadcast cannot however, pass a network router unless
the router is configured to allow this. It is not possible to multicast over the Internet, for example.
Note also that all multicast viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 20
simultaneous connections.
AMC negotiates with the video encoder to determine the transport protocol to use in the order listed above. This order can be
changed and the options disabled, to suit specific requirements.
Important!
H.264 is licensed technology. The video encoder includes one viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensed
copies of the viewing client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.
10
AXIS Media Control (AMC)
The recommended method of accessing live video from the video encoder
is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in
Windows.
The AMC control panel can be used to configure various video and audio
settings. Please see the readme file included in the tool for more
information.
The AMC control panel is automatically installed on first use, after which
it can be configured.
Open the AMC Control Panel from:
• Windows Control Panel (from the Start menu)
• Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer and
click Settings to access the AMC window.
Motion JPEG
This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate
sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every
image contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the video encoder is to
use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows.
Alternative methods of accessing the video stream

Video/images from the video encoder can also be accessed in the following ways:
• Motion JPEG server push (if supported by the client, Firefox, for example). This option maintains an open HTTP con-
nection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required.
• Still JPEG images in a browser. Enter the path - http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi
• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the H.264 viewing client to be installed. The paths that can be used are
listed below in the order of preference:
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• To access the video stream from QuickTime™ the following paths can be used:
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.3gp
Notes:
• The video encoder supports QuickTime 6.5.1 and later

• QuickTime adds latency to the video and audio stream (up to 3 seconds)
• It may be possible to use other players to view the H.264 stream using the paths above, although Axis does not
guarantee this
• <ip> = IP address
11
Accessing audio streams

The Live View page provides access to audio through AXIS Media Control; in addition audio can be accessed in the following
ways:
VAPIX®
Audio can be accessed through the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API). For more information visit
http://www.axis.com/techsup
QuickTime and Windows Media Player

Simplex audio can be accessed via QuickTime and Windows Media Player by using the same paths as for video streams (see
above). QuickTime supports G.711 and AAC audio encoding.
Java applet
The Java applet supports simplex audio with G.711 encoding.

AXIS Q7401 - Video & Audio settings
Video & Audio settings

This section describes how to configure the video encoder, and is intended for product Administrators, who have unrestricted
access to all the Setup tools; and Operators, who have access to the settings for Video & Image, Audio, Live View Config, and
Event Configuration.
You can configure the video encoder by clicking Setup in the top right-hand corner of the Live View page. Click on this
page to access the online help that explains the setup tools.
Video Stream
The video stream settings are separated into 4 different
tabs:
• Image
• Audio
• H.264
• MJPEG
Image
Image Appearance
Use these settings to modify the image resolution and

compression. Setting the compression level affects the
image quality and the amount of bandwidth required,
the lower the compression, the higher the image quality
with higher bandwidth requirements. The image can also
be mirrored (reversed), and rotated. Define the color setting as color or black and white. Black and white uses less bandwidth
than color. See the online help files for more information.l
Video Stream
To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can be limited. Select the Unlimited
radio button to allow the highest available frame rate or select the Limited to... radio button and enter a value (1-30) fps in
the field.
Text Overlay Settings
Use these settings to include a text, date, and time as

overlay. You can also define the color and the
background of the text, and its position on the image.
Click for information on available options. Text,
date & time

Preview
For a preview of the image before saving, select video

format and Open. When satisfied with the settings,
click Save.
Audio
Enable Audio
Check this box to enable audio in the video stream.
Note:
Audio Setup > Systems Options > Audio
Support > Enable audio support must be selected to enable sound. See Audio Support, on page 36.
13
Current Audio Settings:

Configuration under Video & Audio > Audio Settings will be shown here. See Audio Settings, on page 16 for more
information on the audio settings.
H.264
GOV Settings
The GOV structure describes the composition of the video stream and setting the GOV-length to a higher value saves
considerably on bandwidth.
Bit Rate Control
The bit rate can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR).
VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less
for lower activity in the monitored area.
When using CBR you can set a fixed Target bit rate, which will ensure that the level of bandwidth consumed is predictable.
Priority - As the bit rate would usually need to increase for increased image activity, but cannot when CBR is selected, the
frame rate and image quality will both be affected negatively. To go some of the way towards compensating for this, it is
possible to prioritize either the frame rate or the image quality whenever the bit rate would normally need to be increased.
Not setting a priority means the frame rate and image quality will be affected approximately equally.
MJPEG
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Defining the frame size as Unlimited
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage during low light. Limiting
the frame size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and
storage usage, the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.
Stream Profiles
There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. These settings can be adjusted and new customized
profiles can be created. Each profile has a descriptive name, describing its usage and/or purpose. The profiles can be accessed
from the Live View page.
• To add a new stream profile, click Add to bring up the Stream Profile Settings panel.
• Choose a descriptive name and enter a description for your profile.
• Choose the form of Video encoding you wish to use from the drop-down list:
H.264 - Also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. This is the new generation compression standard for digital video. This function
offers higher video resolution than Motion JPEG or MPEG-4 at the same bit rate and bandwidth, or the same quality
video at a lower bit rate.
Motion JPEG - Delivers a high quality video stream, from which individual images can be extracted and saved.
• Copy an existing stream profile to your system and rename the copy
• Modify an existing stream profile based on the light situation and motion to be captured by your video encoder. See
Stream Profile Settings for more information.
• Highlight the stream profile you wish to remove, then click Remove to remove it from the list.
14
Camera Settings
This page provides access to the advanced image settings for the AXIS Q7401.
Image Appearance
Color level - Select an appropriate level by entering a value in the range 0-100. Lower values mean less color saturation,
whilst the value 100 gives maximum color saturation.
Brightness - The image brightness can be adjusted in the range 0-100, where a higher value produces a brighter image.
Contrast - Adjust the image's contrast by raising or lowering the value in this field.
Rotate image - The image can be rotated to the correct orientation. Select the appropriate value from the drop-down
list.
Video Input
To eliminate a black border surrounding the image, change the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the image.
Note: Be careful to only use low values, no more than 1-3, as higher values may put the image out of sync.

Audio Settings
This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the video encoder.
The audio functionality for all streams is enabled under Video & Audio > Video Stream > Audio.
Audio Channels
Audio mode - The Half duplex mode transmits and receives audio in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. To
speak, press and hold the button (check that the microphone is not muted). To receive audio, release the button.
Note:
The push-to-talk button is configured from AMC (see AXIS Media Control toolbar, on page 8). It is possible to
configure the push-to-talk button so that it toggles between the speaking and listening modes.
When selecting the Simplex - Network Video Encoder speaker only mode, the speaker connected to the video encoder plays
audio, but no audio is transmitted from the video encoder to other web clients. This could be used to provide spoken
instructions to a person seen in the camera. This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.
The Simplex - Network Video Encoder microphone only mode transmits audio only from the video encoder to web clients. It
does not receive audio from other web clients. This can be used in remote monitoring, and web attractions, to provide live
audio and video, of a monitored situation.
Audio Input
Audio from an external microphone or a line source can be connected to the Audio in the connector of the video encoder. The
audio source must be set to Microphone or Line depending on the connected device.
The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. If using a small electret condenser
microphone such as a clip-on microphone or a PC microphone, enable this option.
Note:
To use a high impedance dynamic microphone, do not enable microphone power. Microphone power will not harm the
microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. The default value is microphone power enabled. To use a
professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a
balanced-unbalanced converter (audio transformer) in between.
If the sound input is too low or too high, adjust the input gain for the microphone attached to the video encoder.
Select the desired audio Encoding format: AAC, G.711 μ-law or G.726.
Select the required Sample rate (number of times per second the sound is sampled). The higher the sample rate, the better the
audio quality and the greater the bandwidth required.
16
Depending on the selected encoding, set the desired audio quality (Bit rate). The settings affect the available bandwidth and
the required audio quality.
The video encoder can be set to trigger an event if the incoming sound level rises above, falls below, or passes the set value.
The Alarm level is set between 0-100%.
Audio Output
If the sound from the speaker is too low or too high, adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the video
encoder.
When satisfied with the settings, click Save, or click Reset to revert to previously saved settings.

Preset positions
A preset position is a pre-defined camera view than can be used to quickly move the camera to a specific location.
From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera to the required position. When
satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive name. The camera position, iris and focus settings are then saved as a
preset position.
The position can be assumed at any time, by selecting the preset's name from the Preset positions drop-down list. Preset
positions can be selected in the Live View page; they can be selected as an action when an event is triggered as a part of a
Guard Tour.
One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking the box beside Use current position as
Home. The position's name will then have (H) added to the end, for example, Office Entrance (H).
22
Guard tour
A guard tour moves between chosen Preset Positions, one-by-one, in a pre-determined order or at random, and for
configurable time periods. The guard tour sequence will keep running, after the user has logged off or closed the browser.
Advanced
Device Settings - The device settings window is for driver specific settings, so the appearance of this window can vary
depending on the driver installed. Options that can be configured include: Driver Specific Settings for Video Source 1,
Mechanical Limits for Moving Video Source 1, Light Control for Video Source 1, and Extended Driver Specific Settings for
Video Source 1.
Note:
For download and installation information about PTZ drivers for your Axis product please visit www.axis.com/techsup/
Ctrl Panel - The Panel View Settings window contains tools for creating and saving short command buttons that are located
under the Control panel. These buttons provide direct access to various built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ
driver and are displayed in the PTZ Panel.
Limits - Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the video encoder. Movements to the left and right, up and down can
be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance. The near focus limit can be set to avoid focusing on objects too close to
the camera.
Note:
To be able to set limits, the driver needs to be an “absolute” driver.
23
OSD Menu - If the PTZ unit supports an internal configuration menu, this can be accessed using the On-Screen Display (OSD).
Configure the analog camera by opening and navigating through its internal menu in this display.
PTZ control queue
Use the PTZ control queue window to enable and disable PTZ queueing. This window allows you to set up a queue for viewers
wanting to access the video encoder, and limits the number of viewers and the length of time each viewer can access and
control the PTZ unit. For more information on how to set up the control queue, please see the online help .
Note also that a viewer who belongs to a group (see Security, on page 35) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users
in the queue and take control of the video encoder.
The order of priority for taking control of the queue is as follows:

1. Administrators - An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator
will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after their last PTZ control command.
2. Event - The AXIS Q7401 can be set up to take control of the queue and move to a specific position for 20 seconds
when triggered by an alarm. The event will immediately be placed first in the queue, except when an
administrator is in control. For more information, see Triggered Event, on page 29.
3. Operator - Same as administrator, but with lower priority.
4. Guard Tour - A guard tour has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an Operator,
Event or administrator. Guard Tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue. For more information
see Guard tour, on page 23.
5. Viewer - Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed
to the next viewer in queue.
Note:
To identify the different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.
24
PTZ controls
If the video encoder has been appropriately configured, the Live View page displays the controls available for the installed Pan
Tilt Zoom (PTZ) device. The administrator can enable/disable the controls for specified users.
The controls shown depends on the make and model of PTZ device. The most common controls are:
• the Pan bar - moves the camera to the right and left
• the Tilt bar - tips the camera up and down
• the Zoom bar - zooms the view in and out. Note that this is only available if the camera is fitted with a
zoom lens
• the Iris bar - adjusts the brightness of the image
Clicking on the bars themselves or on the arrows at the end of the bars moves the camera to a new position. The type of
movement and the location of this new position depends on the type of PTZ driver.
When controlling the camera using a relative PTZ driver (see the bars in the illustration above) the new position is relative to
the previous position, for example, left of, below, or above. Clicking the bar further from the center results in a larger
movement.
In contrast, when using an absolute driver, each position on the bar (see
right) represents a defined position in the device’s range of movement, with
the center of the bar representing the point midway between the two
extremes of movement.
Clicking a position directly on the bar moves the camera directly to the new position in one smooth movement. Clicking on
the arrows at the ends of a bar causes an incremental change.
25
Using CGI links to control PTZ devices
User-defined CGI links on the Live View page can be used to issue HTTP API requests, such as PTZ commands. These links are
configured in the Live View Layout settings, see Live View Config, on page 18.
PTZ control modes
The PTZ device can also be controlled using click-in-image movement, which has two different types of navigation - Center
and Joystick.
Center mode means that when clicking in the image, the camera view centers on the absolute position that was clicked.
Joystick mode moves the camera in the direction of the mouse pointer. By clicking and holding the mouse button down in the
image, the PTZ device moves the camera in that direction, relative to the center of the image. The farther from the center the
image is clicked, the greater the movement. The camera stops moving when the button is released.
Note:
There is also joystick support in AXIS Media Control (AMC).
Control panel
The focus and iris (image brightness) can be adjusted manually by using the control bars, or they can be set for automatic
adjustment, by clicking the Auto iris and Auto focus buttons.
Note:
These buttons appear only if the PTZ driver installed supports them.
To access the Auto iris and Auto focus buttons, click on the Control panel button. The menu to
the right will then appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
There are also driver specific shortcuts that can appear in the Control Panel. In the screen to the
right, a driver has been installed that brings up the Wiper shortcut button, which allows the user
to configure and use a windshield wiping action with the video encoder.

AXIS Q7401 - Events
Events
Pre-defined parameters, known as an event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is
an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images.
An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event, see
page 29.
A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.
An Action refers to what happens when the event occurs.
This section describes how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.
Event Servers
Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event Server connections in
your video encoder, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required
server type.
Server type Purpose Information required
FTP Server • Receives uploaded images • Descriptive name
• Network address and Upload path
• User Name and password
HTTP Server • Receives notification messages • Descriptive name
• Receives uploaded images • URL (IP address or host name)
• User Name and password
TCP Server • Receives notification messages • Descriptive name
• Network address (IP address or host name)
• Port number
For details on each setting, see the online help available from each web page.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the connection test takes
approximately 10 seconds).
Event Types
An Event Type describes how and when the video encoder performs certain actions.
Example: If somebody passes in front of a video encoder and an event has been configured to detect and respond to
motion, the video encoder can record and saves images to an FTP server, and can send a notification e-mail to an e-mail
address. Images can be sent as e-mail attachments.
28
AXIS Q7401 - Events
Triggered Event
A triggered event could be activated by:

• a push button connected to the video encoder’s input port
• a manually activated action, such as from an action button in the web interface
• an application that has been uploaded to the video encoder.
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• on restart (reboot), after power loss
• camera tampering
• disk full
• video loss
• sound at a certain decibel level
How to set up a triggered event

The following example describes how to set up the video encoder to upload images when the main door is opened.
1. Click Add triggered... on the Event Types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Main door open.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see the online help).
4. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list. For example, select Input ports, for a sensor
connected to the door.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, that is, define what the video encoder will do if the main door is opened -
upload images to an FTP server or send an e-mail notification.
7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
Notes:
• Up to 10 event types can be configured in the video encoder, and up to four of these can be configured to upload
images.
• File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats online
help.
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
This function is very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 30
seconds before and/or after a door was opened. Check the Save stream checkbox under Event Types > Add Triggered... >
When Triggered... to view the options. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the box to enable the
pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.
Include post-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-trigger.
Notes:
• Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails.
• The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate.
• If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the video encoder’s internal memory, the buffer size is reduced so that
the recorded time is less than expected. If this occurs, an entry is created in the unit's log file.
Continue image upload (unbuffered) - enables the upload of video images for a fixed length of time. Specify the length of
time for the uploaded recording, in seconds, minutes or hours, or for as long as the trigger is active. Finally, set the desired
image frequency to the maximum (the maximum available) or to a specified frame rate. The frame rate will be the best
possible, but might not be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
29
AXIS Q7401 - Events
Scheduled Event
A Scheduled event can be activated at preset times, in a repeating pattern on selected weekdays.
Configuration example:
1. Click Add scheduled... on the Event Types page.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Scheduled e-mail upload.
3. Set the Priority (High, Normal or Low).
4. Set the Activation Time parameters (24h clock) for the event - start on Sundays at 13.00 with a duration of 12
hours.
5. Set the When Activated... parameters, (what the video encoder would do at the specified time) for example, send
uploaded images to an e-mail address.
6. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.
Camera tampering
The camera tampering application generates an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered,
sprayed, or severely defocused.
First, you must create an event, see How to set up a triggered event, on page 29, for the video encoder to send an alarm.
Settings
The Minimum duration parameter sets the minimum tampering period, that is an alarm will not be triggered until this period
has elapsed, even if the tampering conditions are otherwise met. This can help prevent false alarms for known conditions that
affect the image.
If the camera lens is sprayed or covered so that the camera live view becomes dark, it will not be possible to distinguish this
situation from other situations where the same effect is seen, such as when lighting conditions change.
When the Alarm for dark images parameter is enabled, alarms are generated for all cases where the lights are either dimmed
or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed, covered, or rendered severely out of focus. If not enabled, no alarm will be sent.
After you define these settings, click Save.
30
AXIS Q7401 - Events
Motion Detection
Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image. A total of 10 Include
and/or Exclude windows can be configured.
• Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image
• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows are
automatically ignored)
Once configured, the motion detection windows appear in the list of available triggers, for triggering events. See How to set
up a triggered event, on page 29.
Note:
Using the motion detection feature may decrease the video encoder’s overall performance.
Configuring Motion Detection

1. Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.
2. Click the New Window button.
3. Select the Include or Exclude option to define an Include or Exclude window, and enter a descriptive name in the
field below.
4. Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text at the top and drag to the
desired position) of the active window.
5. Adjust the Object Size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see table below for details). Any detected motion
within an active window is then indicated by red peaks in the Activity window (the active window has a red
frame).
6. Click Save.
To exclude parts of the Include window, select the Exclude option and position the
Exclude window as required, within the Include window.

IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless
network devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
35
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service. In Axis implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate
themselves with the help of digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
The certificates are provided by an Certification Authority (CA). You need:
•a CA certificate to validate the identity of the authentication server
•a CA-signed client certificate and a private key to authenticate the network device.
To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:

1. Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and
the client private key.
3. Under SETTINGS, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.
Certificates
CA Certificate - The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to the
certificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a certificate, click Remove.
Client Certificate/Client private key - The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device. They
can be uploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client private key field if
uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click
Upload. To remove a file, click Remove.
Settings
Eapol version - Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in your network switch.
Eap identity - Enter the user identity (maximum 16 characters) associated with your certificate.
Private key password - Enter the password (maximum 16 characters) for the private key.
Enable IEEE 802.1X - 5.Check the box to enable the IEEE 802.1X protocol.
Audio Support
Enable audio support - Allow clients to retrieve audio streams from the AXIS Q7401, and is used to totally enable or
disable the sound source. See also Audio Settings, on page 16 for information on how to configure the audio settings.
Date & Time

Current Server Time - displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the
overlay (see below).
New Server Time - select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for
daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes.
From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.
• Synchronize with NTP Server - the video encoder will obtain the time from an NTP server on a regular basis.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
36
Note:
If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Network > Basic TCP/IP Settings below.
Date & Time Format Used in Images - specify the formats for the date and time (12h or 24h) displayed in the video streams.
Use the predefined formats or use your own custom date and time formats. See Advanced File Naming & Date/Time Formats
in the online help for information on how to create your own date and time formats.
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
Q7401 support both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must
always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the video encoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP
address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video encoders receive an IP address according to the configuration in the
network router. There is also the option of using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the
IP address, please see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the video encoder.
IPv4 Address Configuration - Check this box to enable IPv4.
Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP
server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a
particular MAC address.
Note:
DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification (see below), or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS Q7401 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot
access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS Q7401, check the radio button and then make the
following settings:
•IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS Q7401. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is available or
not, click the Test button)
•Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the AXIS Q7401 is located on
•Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different
networks and network segments.
IPv6 Address Configuration - Check the box to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the network router.
Services
Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's
MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the
IP address.
Note:
• The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is
set.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
37
Enable AVHS - AXIS Video Hosting System (AVHS) in conjunction with an AVHS service provides easy and secure Internet

product can at any time be removed.
For more information, please refer to the online help.
Advanced TCP/IP Settings
DNS Configuration - DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.
Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP server. Click the View
button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the video encoders. Multiple domains can be
separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, for example, myserver is
the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary, and secondary DNS servers.
Note:
This is not mandatory with regard to secondary DNS servers.
NTP Configuration - Obtain NTP server address via DHCP - check this radio button to automatically look up and use the
NTP server settings as provided by DHCP. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following NTP server address - to create manual settings, check this radio button and enter the host name or IP
address of the NTP server.
Host Name Configuration - The video encoders can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host
name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.
For more information, please see Security, on page 35.
Link-Local IPv4 Address - This is enabled by default and assigns the video encoders an additional IP address for use with
UPnP™. The video encoder can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time - these will
not affect each other.
HTTP and HTTPS - The default HTTP/HTTPS port numbers (80 and 443 respectively) can be changed to any port within the
range 1024-65535. This is useful for simple security port mapping, for example.
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4 - A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single
connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the
Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts
to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
38
Use NAT traversal when your video encoders are located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the
other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT
router is forwarded to the video encoder.
LAN (intranet) WAN (internet)
Broadband
(NAT) ISP
router
Notes:
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the broadband router.
• The broadband router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband
sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.
Enable/Disable - when enabled, the video encoders attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using
UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the video encoder (see System Options > Network > UPnP).
Use manually selected NAT router - select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router
in the field provided.
If a router is not manually specified, the video encoders automatically search for NAT routers on your network. If more than
one router is found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port - select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field
provided. If no port is entered here a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.
Notes:
• An alternative HTTP port can be used/be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router
does not support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.
• When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this enter a new port number and
click Save.
FTP - The FTP server running in the video encoders enables the upload of new firmware, and user applications. Check the box
to enable the service.
RTSP - The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. Check the box to enable the server and enter
the RTSP port number to use. The default setting is 554. Note that H.264 video streams will not be available if this service is
not enabled.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis video encoder can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on
the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if the video encoder is located on a local network behind a
firewall, and notifications, uploads, alarms, and such need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (such as the
Internet). See the online help for more information.
39
QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be
defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can
be summarized as:
•The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
•Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus
control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of network traffic originating from the
product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of
traffic. The video encoders mark the following types of traffic:
•video
•audio
•event/alarm
•management network traffic
QoS Settings - For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a
network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch the type of treatment to apply to this type
of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form,
but saved values are always shown in decimal.
For more information on Quality of Service, please see the Axis support web at www.axis.com/techsup
SMTP (email)
Enter the host names (or IP addresses) and port numbers for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided, to
enable the sending of notifications and image email messages from the video encoder to predefined addresses via SMTP.
If your mail server requires authentication, check the box for Use authentication to log in to this server and enter the
necessary information. See the online help for more information.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. Depending on the level of
security required, select the version of SNMP to use. The three levels of security are:
•SNMP v1 - includes no security.
•SNMP v2c - uses very simple security. The community name can be specified as a password for read or read/write access
to all supported SNMP objects. The community is the the group of network devices using SNMP.
•SNMP v3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.
Traps for SNMP v1/v2 - Traps are used by the camera to send messages to a management system for important events or
status changes. These settings are used with SNMP v1/v2.
Enable traps - Check this box to activate trap reporting.
Trap address - Enter the IP address of the management server.
Trap community - Community to use when sending a trap message to the management system.
Available traps are:

•Cold start - Sends a trap message when SNMP has started and the configuration as well as the MIB (Management Infor-
mation Base) may have changed
•Warm start - Sends a trap message when SNMP has started and the configure file has changed, but not the MIB.
•Link up - Sends a trap message when a link changes from down to up
•Authentication failed - Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails
40
SNMP v3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled. To use traps with SNMP v3 an SNMP v3
management application is required.
If the Enable SNMP v3 option is enabled, provide the Initial user password. Note that the initial password is activated only
when HTTPS is enabled and can only be set once.
If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.
When SNMP configuration is ready, click Save to use the new settings or Reset to return to the default values.
UPnP™
The video encoder includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the video encoder then is automatically
detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.
RTP/H.264
These settings are the port range, IP address, port number (video and audio), and Time-To-Live value to use for the video
stream(s) in multicast H.264 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast streams. For
more information, please see the online help.
Bonjour
The video encoders include support for Bonjour. When enabled, the video encoder is automatically detected by operating
systems and clients that support this.

Storage - Disk Management

Disk Management is used to setup and manage local storage devices. Local storage can be used to save video streams from
triggered, scheduled or continuous recordings. For information on how to use the local storage with Triggered and Scheduled
Event Type Setup and Continuous Recordings see the online help .
Storage Device
Once a formatted SD card has been inserted in the SD memory card slot, it is automatically mounted and information such as
the available space and the size of the storage device is shown. The disk is full when there is less than 10 MB of space left on
the memory card.
Disks are normally preformatted when purchased, if a SD Card needs to be formatted click the Format button to format the
disk. Any previous data stored on the disk will be lost. Mounting is done automatically when a new memory card is inserted, or
when the system boots. The only time you need to do a manual mount, is when you have executed an unmount command and
the memory card has not been ejected and reinserted.
Status shows as follows:

• OK - The storage device is mounted and working correctly
• connected - The storage device is present but not mounted
• disconnected - The storage device is not present.
• failed - A problem has been discovered.
If the status shows as failed, click Check disk to see if the problem can be found and then try Repair. As a final measure the
storage device might need to be reformatted. If there is important data on the storage device, see Troubleshooting, on page
50.
Read only shows the status of write-protect tab on the memory card. The status no means the tab is in the write-enabled
mode and recordings can be saved to the memory card. The status yes means the memory card's tab is in the
write-protected/read-only position, or there is a system error and recordings cannot be saved to the memory card.
Important!
To prevent loss of data, click Unmount before removing a storage device.
Storage Device Settings
Storage Device Settings is used to configure removal of recorded video.
Automatic disk cleanup
To avoid filling up local storage, Automatic disk cleanup can be set to continually remove older recordings to create more
space.
Once enabled, automatic disk cleanup can be set to remove recordings that are older than a set number of days or weeks and
when a percentage of the disk is full. For longer or continuous recordings, the oldest part of the recording is removed, it is
recommended to have a time and date overlay in the video for proper tracking of recordings. See Text Overlay Settings, on
page 14.
Note:
For continuous recording to work properly, do not set the limit to more than 95% full.
Interrupted recordings with an Unknown status, partial recordings and any other recording that has not been removed by disk
cleanup can be removed manually from the Recording List using the Remove button.
Check Lock disk to stop writing to the disk and protect recordings from being removed. A locked disk cannot be formatted.

AXIS Q7401 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Checking the Firmware
Firmware is software that determines the functionality of the video encoders. One of your first actions when troubleshooting
a problem should be to check the current firmware version. The latest version may contain a correction that fixes your
particular problem. The current firmware version in your encoder can be seen on the page Setup > Basic Setup or under
About.
Upgrading the Firmware

When you upgrade your encoder with the latest firmware from the Axis Web site, your encoder receives the latest
functionality available. Always read the upgrade instructions and release notes available with each new release, before
updating the firmware.
Note:
Preconfigured and customized settings are saved when the firmware is upgraded (providing the features are available
in the new firmware) although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications. Always read the instructions and
release notes available with each new release, before upgrading the firmware.
1. Save the firmware file to your computer. The
latest version of the firmware is available
free of charge from the Axis website at
www.axis.com/techsup
2. Go to Setup > System Options >
Maintenance in the encoder’s web pages.
3. In the Upgrade Server section, browse to the
desired firmware file on your computer. Click
Upgrade.
Notes:
• After starting the upgrade process, always
wait at least 5-10 minutes before restarting
the encoder, even if you suspect the upgrade
has failed.
• Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty upgrading by the user.
• The AXIS Camera Management software tool can be used for multiple upgrades. Please see the Axis website at
www.axis.com for more information.
Emergency Recovery Procedure
If power or the network connection to the encoder is lost during the upgrade, the process fails and the unit becomes
unresponsive. A flashing red Status LED indicates a failed upgrade. To recover the unit, follow the steps below. The serial
number is found on the label attached to the bottom of the encoder.
1. UNIX/Linux - From the command line, type the following:
arp -s <IP address of encoder> <serial number> temp
ping -s 408 <IP address of encoder>
Windows - From a command/DOS prompt, type the following:

arp -s <IP address of encoder> <serial number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP address of encoder>
2. If the unit does not reply within a few seconds, restart it and wait for a reply. Press CTRL+C to stop Ping.
3. Open a browser and type in the encoder’s IP address. In the page that appears, use the Browse button to select the
upgrade file to use, for example, axisq7401.bin. Then click the Load button to restart the upgrade process.
4. After the upgrade is complete (1-10 minutes), the unit automatically restarts and shows a steady green on the
Power and Status LEDs and flashing green or amber on the Network LED.
5. Reinstall the encoder, referring to the installation guide.
50
If the emergency recovery procedure does not get the encoder up and running again, please contact Axis support at
www.axis.com/techsup/
Axis Support
If you contact Axis support, please help us to help you solve your problems by providing the server report, the log file and a

Symptoms, Possible Causes, and Remedial Action

Problems setting the IP address
When using ARP/Ping Try the installation again. The IP address must be set within two minutes after power has been
applied to the encoder. Ensure the Ping length is set to 408. See the Installation Guide.
The encoder is located on a different If the IP address intended for the encoder and the IP address of your computer are located on
subnet different subnets, you will not be able to set the IP address. Contact your network administrator
to obtain an appropriate IP address.
The IP address is being used by another Disconnect the encoder from the network. Run the Ping command. (In a Command/DOS win-
device dow, type ping and the IP address of the unit).
If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means that the IP
address may already be in use by another device on your network. You must obtain a new IP
address and reinstall the unit.
If you see: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use with your
encoder. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit.
Possible IP address conflict with The static IP address in the encoder is used before the DHCP server sets a a dynamic address.
another device on the same subnet This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may
be problems accessing the encoder. To avoid this, set the static IP address to 0.0.0.0.
The encoder cannot be accessed from a browser
Problems with ONVIF If ONVIF is not working as expected, it may be that for security reasons ONVIF was disabled
when the camera was accessed over VAPIX. To enable ONVIF, reset the product to Factory
default settings (see page 45).
The IP address has been changed by If the encoder and client are on the same network, Run AXIS IP Utility to locate the encoder.
DHCP Identify the encoder using its model or serial number
Alternatively:
1) Move the encoder to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set the IP
address again, using the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the ARP/Ping commands.
2) Access the unit and disable DHCP in the TCP/IP settings. Return the unit to the main network.
The unit now has a fixed IP address that will not change.
3) As an alternative to 2), if dynamic IP address via DHCP or BOOTP is required, select the
required service and then configure IP address change notification from the network settings.
Return the unit to the main network. The unit now has a dynamic IP address, but will notify you
if the address changes.
Other networking problems Test the network cable by connecting it to another network device, then Ping that device from
your workstation. See instructions above.
Encoder is accessible locally, but not externally

General performance considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations will affect performance. Some
factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bit rate) required, others can affect the frame rate, and some will affect both. If
the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this will also affect the frame rate.
The following factors are among the most important to consider:

• High image resolutions and/or lower compression levels result in larger images. Bandwidth affected.
• Access by large numbers of Motion JPEG and/or unicast H.264 clients. Bandwidth affected.
• Simultaneous viewing of different streams (resolution, compression, etc.) by different clients. Bandwidth affected.
• Heavy usage of event settings affects the CPU load. Frame rate affected.
• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure. Bandwidth affected
• Viewing on poorly performing client PC lowers perceived performance. Frame rate affected.
Optimizing your system

To see the bandwidth and frame rate currently required by the video stream, the video encoder provides a tool that can be
used to display these values directly in the video image.
To do this, special format strings are added as part of a text

overlay. Simply add #r (average frame rate in fps) and/or #b
(average bandwidth in Kbps) to the overlay.
For detailed instructions, please see the online help for Video &
Image > Text Overlay Settings, and the help for File Naming &
Date/Time Formats.
Important!
• The figures displayed here are the values as delivered by the server. If other restrictions are
currently in force, (e.g. bandwidth limitation) these values might not correspond to those
actually received by the client.
• For Motion JPEG, these values will only be accurate as long as no frame rate limit has been specified.

Internet. TCP keeps track of the individual packets of
information and IP contains the rules for how the packets are
actually sent and received.
UDP - The User Datagram Protocol is a communications
protocol that offers a limited amount of service when messages
are exchanged between computers in a network that uses the
Internet Protocol (IP). UDP is an alternative to the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and, together with IP, is also known as
UDP/IP.
Unicast - Communication between a single sender and a single
receiver over a network. A new connection is established for
each new user.
URL - Uniform Resource Locator. An “address" on the network.
Varifocal - A varifocal lens provides a wide range of focal lengths,
as opposed to a lens with a fixed focal length, which only provides
