Bodyline Products International 216FD User Manual

Define the maximum video stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When 

the set time has expired, a new stream can be started by refreshing the page in the browser. 

For unlimited video stream time, select the Unlimited radio button. Note that the 

maximum video stream time does not apply to clients connecting via multicast.

The frame rate allowed to each viewer can also be limited, to avoid bandwidth problems 

on the network. To allow the highest available frame rate, select the Unlimited radio 

button. 

For a preview of the image before saving, click Test. When satisfied with the settings, click 

Save. Please note that the preview image will be in JPEG format, even though the settings 

are valid both for Motion JPEG and MPEG-4.

The following options are available for overlays and masks: 

• Uploaded image as overlay
• Configurable areas as privacy mask

Uploaded image as overlay is a text and/or a static image superimposed over the video 

image, for extra information.

Configurable areas as privacy mask are configurable areas of solid color that can be used 

to block out certain parts of the video image.

When setting privacy masks in AXIS 216MFD/MFD-V make sure the camera is set for full resolution to 
ensure full coverage of sensitive area.

This page contains settings for fine-tuning the video image. These include the color level, 

brightness, sharpness and exposure control. 

Please see the online help for further information on these settings. 

DC-Iris should always be set to Enabled, except during focusing. DC-Iris is a varifocal lens 

which automatically regulates the amount of light entering the camera.

Low light conditions can reduce image quality and increase bandwidth usage. The Low 

Light Behavior settings define the balance between image quality and frame rate. During 

low light conditions, experiment with the settings Exposure priority, Max exposure time 

and Max gain until you achieve an acceptable image quality at the required frame rate.
