7 AXIS 243SA - Product description Product description The AXIS 243SA is a one-port video server in cluding two-way audio, fully featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs.
8 AXIS 243SA - Product description The AXIS 243SA also provides a Line/Mic In (mono) connector for connecting an external microphone or other source producing a line leve l signal. An active speaker with a built-in amplifier can be connected to Line Out (mo no) to enable two-way communication.
9 AXIS 243SA - Product description Note: • If the video source is to be connected in parallel with other equipment, disable the input termination by turning th e corresponding DIP switch to the up position (OFF). Failure to do so may cause reduced image quality.
10 AXIS 243SA - Product description Network connector - The AXIS 243SA connects to the network via a standard network cable, and automatically detects the speed of the loca l network segment (10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet). RS-232 connector - A 9-pin D-SUB connector providing an RS-232 serial connection.
11 Using AXIS 243SA Using AXIS 243SA The AXIS 243SA can be used with most standa rd operating systems and web browsers. The recommended browser is Intern et Explorer with Microsoft Windows, and Firefox with other operating systems. See also the Technical specifications , on page 69 .
12 Using AXIS 243SA The Live View page If your AXIS 243SA has been customized to meet specific requirements, the buttons and other items described below may or may not be d isplayed on the Live View page.
13 Using AXIS 243SA AMC Audio controls There are audio controls for controlling th e client computer’s speaker output and microphone/line input. Note that these AMC toolbar functions can also be accessed by right-clicking in the image. For information on using Pan/Ti lt /Zoom controls , please see Pan Tilt Zoom, on page 38.
14 Video and audio stre ams Video and audio streams The AXIS 243SA provides several video and audi o stream formats. The type you want to use depends on your requirements an d the properties of your network. The Live View page in AXIS 243SA provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video and audio streams, and to single JPEG image s.
15 Video and audio streams MPEG-4 protocols and communication methods To deliver live streaming video over IP netw orks, various combinations of transport protocols and broadcast methods are employed.
16 Video and audio stre ams RTP+RTSP This method (actually RTP over UDP and RTSP over TCP) should be your first consideration for live video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images get dropped. This can be configured as multicast or unicast.
17 Video and audio streams Other MPEG-4 clients Although it may be possible to use other clients to view th e MPEG-4 stream , it is not guaranteed that it will work in all cases. For some other clients, for example,. QuickTime™ the Video Object Typ e must be set to Simple .
18 AXIS 243SA - Configuring the video server Configuring the video server This section describes how to configure th e Axis video server and is intended for administrat ors , who have unrestricted acce ss to all the Setup tools The Axis video server is configured from the Setup link, in a standard web browser.
19 AXIS 243SA - Video & ima ge settings Video & image settings The following descriptions show examples of the available features in the AXIS 243SA. For details of each setting, plea se refer to the online help av ailable from each page. Click to access the online help.
20 AXIS 243SA - Video & image settings Video Stre am The Maxi mum video stream time can be set as Unlimited , or set a maximum stream time per session in seconds, minutes or hours. When the set time has expi red, a new stream on the Live View page can be star ted by refreshing the page in th e web browser.
21 AXIS 243SA - Video & ima ge settings Advanced - MJPEG settings Sometimes the image size is large due to lo w light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the ba ndwidth and storage used by the MJPEG video stream in these situations.
22 AXIS 243SA - Video & image settings Overlay image requirements : Overlay image limitations: • The maximum overlay image size suppor ted by AXIS 243SA is the same as the maximum image resolution.
23 AXIS 243SA - Video & ima ge settings 4. Click in the box beside Enable to enable one or more of the masks you have defined and click on Save ..
24 AXIS 243SA - Audio Audio The AXIS 243SA can transmit audio to other c lients using an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients by a ttaching a speaker. The Setup page has an additional menu item called Audio , which allows different audi o configurations, such as, full duplex, half duplex and simplex.
25 AXIS 243SA - A udio Half- duplex mode also transmits and receives audi o in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. This means that you must se lect when to receive or transmit audio with the help of the push-to-talk button. To speak, press and hold the button (check that the microphone is not muted).
26 AXIS 243SA - Audio Depending on the selected encoding, set the desired Bit rate (audio quality). The settings depend on the available bandwidth and the required audio quality, that is, a high bit rate setting requires more bandwidth.
27 AXIS 243SA - A udio The noise canceller threshold value can be set to High , Medium High , Medium low and Low . A lower threshold allows mo st of the audio to pass. On ly the weakest background noise is reduced. A h igher threshold makes the noise canc eller act on e ven stronger background noise.
28 AXIS 243SA - Live Vi ew Config Live View Config Layout These are the tools for deciding the layout of the Live View page. The layout can be set in three ways: • Use Axis look - the lay - out is unchanged. • Use custom settings - to modify the default page with your own colors, and images, click the Configure button.
29 AXIS 243SA - Live View Config Upload Own Web Files Your own web files, or background pictures must first be uploaded to the Axis video server in order that it appears for selection in the Custom Settings setup dialog. Once uploaded, the files are shown in the drop-down list.
30 AXIS 243SA - Live Vi ew Config For more information on the VAPIX API, see the Developer pages at the Axis web site www.axis.com/developer. See also the section on PTZ, on page 38 . Action Buttons The manual trigger buttons can be used to ma nually start and stop an event from the Live View page.
31 AXIS 243SA - Live View Config The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image Type , Image size and other optional settings for configuring the vide o stream to suit your web pag e. Click Update when satisfied. The video server then generates the required source code fo r your configuration.
32 AXIS 243SA - Event configuration Event configuration This section describes how to configure AX IS 243SA for alarm hand ling.

Check the box against Upload images under Event Types > Add Triggere d.
35 AXIS 243SA - Event confi guration Camera tampering The camera tampering application genera tes an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is cove red, sprayed, or severely defocused. You must create an event, (see “How to set up a triggered event” (page -31)), for the camera to send an alarm.
36 AXIS 243SA - Event configuration Note: Using the motion detection feature may decrea se overall performance in the video server. How to configure M otion Detection This example describes how to configure motion detection: 1. Click Motion Det ection in the Event Configuration menu.
37 AXIS 243SA - Event confi guration Please use the online help for descriptions of each available option. Examples: • Avoid triggering on small objects in the image by selecting a high size level. • To trigger motion detection as long as ther e is activity in the area, select a high history level.
