The most noticeable difference between progressive scan and interlaced video is apparent when viewing frame-by-frame recorded video of moving vehicles. Progressive scan captures and displays all lines of each frame in sequence, resulting in smoother and clearer images, especially for fast-moving subjects. In contrast, interlaced video captures and displays alternate lines per frame, which can cause motion artifacts and blurring in fast-moving scenes. Axis Network Video documentation highlights that progressive scan is preferred for applications where clarity and detail in moving objects are critical.

The AXIS P3301 is a fixed mini dome camera that features a DC-iris lens, a 2.8-10 mm varifocal lens, and wide dynamic range (WDR). This combination of features makes it the only suitable choice among the listed options to meet the customer's requirements for a fixed mini dome camera with these specific capabilities. More details can be found in the Axis Communications product specifications and data sheets for the AXIS P3301.

Using VLANs and IP subnets in a network infrastructure helps segregate surveillance video traffic from other network traffic. This separation improves network security by limiting access to authorized devices only and reducing the risk of video interception by malicious users. It does not inherently provide encryption or establish encrypted communication links, but it enhances security by isolating sensitive video streams. Detailed explanations can be found in Axis Communications network design guides and security best practices documents.

To identify people with 80 pixels per face in a hallway that is 2.5 meters wide, a minimum resolution of 1280x720 (720p) is needed. This resolution ensures sufficient pixel density to capture detailed facial features necessary for identification purposes. Given the width of the hallway and the required pixel density, 720p provides the necessary coverage and detail.

The most effective and time-saving way to adjust the focus on the AXIS M3204 camera while onsite is using the remote zoom and focus feature. This feature allows installers to precisely adjust the camera’s zoom and focus settings from a remote location, saving significant time and effort compared to manual adjustments. The AXIS M3204’s specifications and installation guides highlight this feature as a key benefit for efficient setup and maintenance.

A camera with a fixed iris is best mounted outside in a shadowed position. Fixed iris lenses do not adjust to changes in light levels, making them less suitable for environments with varying lighting conditions. By placing the camera in a shadowed position, you minimize the impact of direct sunlight and glare, which can cause overexposure and poor image quality. Therefore, the correct answer is C. For more detailed information, refer to Axis Communications' documentation on camera installation and fixed iris lenses.

Reducing the frames per second (FPS) by 50% will reduce the bitrate by less than 50%. This is because the bitrate is influenced not only by the frame rate but also by the complexity of the image content and the compression efficiency. While lowering the FPS reduces the amount of data being processed, other factors like scene complexity and motion still impact the overall bitrate. Axis documentation on video compression and bitrate management indicates that halving the FPS typically results in a less than proportional reduction in bitrate.

Axis Official Documentation Extract:

“A video decoder is a device that receives video streams from IP cameras over the network, decodes the streams, and outputs the video to a monitor, typically using HDMI or other standard video outputs. This allows users to view live network video on standard monitors or televisions without the need for a computer.”

Supporting Extract from Axis Study Guide:

"Video decoders play a crucial role in network video systems where there is a need to display live video feeds on standard monitors. Unlike video encoders, which convert analog video to digital IP video streams, decoders convert IP video streams back into video signals that can be displayed on HDMI or composite video monitors."

"Color temperature describes the color characteristics of a light source and is measured in Kelvin. Lower values (e.g., 2700K) are perceived as warm (yellow/red), while higher values (e.g., 6500K) are cool (blue/white)."
