Axis Camera Station w/ 10-base license 0202-004 用户手册

Recording can be set up as continuous, scheduled or triggered by motion or alarm. For information about 

setting up the database for recorded events see Recording Database, on page 16.

With this procedure you can set the server to continuously save images. Note that this option uses more disk 

space than an Alarm triggered recording. 

1. From the AXIS Camera Station, click Options > Camera settings. Select the camera to configure by 

double-clicking on it or click on the camera then the Edit button.

2. Click on the Recording tab and check Enable under Continuous recording.
3. If you would like to record every few seconds. Check the radio button for Record image every and select 

the number of seconds between image recordings. If you would like to set a higher frame rate than 1 per 

second, choose Frame rate and select how many frames to record per second.

The Frame rate is a target value. The actual frame rate depends on the type of camera, network conditions and your PC configurations. 
If you are running on a powerful server and using only a few cameras, the frame rate can be set high.

Choosing recording quality/image settings

4. Choose a Video format. MPEG-4 video quality is comparable to MJPG, but often requires less bandwidth.
5. Choose the resolution or pixel size for recordings from the Image resolution drop-down list. The 

resolution available can fall into different ranges dependant on the camera. For more information consult 

your network camera’s user manual. 

6. Set Image quality (compression). Changing the compression level affects the amount of bandwidth 

required. Lower compression improves image quality, but uses more bandwidth.

7. Click the Apply button.

A high frame rate and image resolution will require more bandwidth, processor power and hard disk space. Lower compression improves 
image quality, but uses more bandwidth.

To record audio in MPEG-4 choose MPEG-4 in the Video format drop-down list under Image and audio 

settings. The option then becomes active to enable Record MPEG-4 audio.
