Axis Communications 241S Manuel D’Utilisation

Use these settings to include a) an 

image as an overlay, and/or b) the 

date and time, along with text of 

your own. 

Text overlays are all included on one 

line at the top or bottom of the video 

image. Image overlays can be placed 

anywhere in the video image. 

To upload an overlay image, see 

below.

If there is information in a monitored area that you do not wish to disclose, you can mask it out by 

placing an overlay image on top. Setting the overlay image anywhere in the video image using coordi-
nates allows precision detail masking.

The Maximum video stream time can be set as Unlimited, or a maximum stream time per 

session in seconds, minutes or hours can be defined. When the set time has expired, a new 

stream can be started by refreshing the page in the Web browser. Note that the maximum 

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

To avoid bandwidth problems on the network, the frame rate allowed to each viewer can 

also be limited. Select either Unlimited or define a maximum frame rate per viewer.

For a preview of the image and overlay settings before saving, click Test. When you are 

satisfied with the settings, click Save.

Enter a descriptive name for the Video source. 

Black borders surrounding the image can be eliminated by adjusting the offset position. 

See the online help for more information.

Select the physical connector the video source is connected to, BNC or Y/C. The AXIS 241S 

supports conversion between composite video and Y/C (s-video) using an ACC Y/C to BNC 

cable.

• BNC (composite video) connects a standard video camera or other video equipment
