An increase in bandwidth and storage can be caused by high noise levels and high image resolution. High noise levels, often due to low-light conditions, result in larger file sizes because the noise needs to be encoded along with the actual image data. Higher image resolution increases the amount of data captured, thus requiring more bandwidth for transmission and more storage space.

The integrator is responsible for documenting a video surveillance installation. This documentation includes details on camera placement, network configurations, system settings, and operational instructions. Proper documentation ensures that the system can be maintained, troubleshooted, and upgraded efficiently. It also provides a reference for any future modifications or expansions of the surveillance system. [Reference: Axis Communications - Best Practices for Surveillance System Installation]

When using the AXIS Design Tool, it is crucial to convey to the end user that the calculations provided are only estimates and not final numbers. The tool is designed to offer a rough estimate of network bandwidth and storage needs based on various factors such as camera resolution, frame rate, and compression. However, real- world conditions and specific system configurations can affect these calculations, so they should be treated as approximations rather than exact figures.

For AXIS P3247-LVE, the last digit '7' indicates the camera resolution. Axis uses a numerical system where the last digit often denotes the resolution of the camera. In this case, '7' represents a camera with a resolution of 5 MP (megapixels), providing high-quality video surveillance suitable for detailed monitoring.

The P-iris (Precise Iris Control) technology in Axis cameras ensures optimal image quality by precisely controlling the iris position. In bright lighting conditions, P-iris prevents the iris from closing too much, which can cause blurring due to diffraction. Instead, it maintains an optimal iris opening to balance depth of field and image sharpness. For more information, consult Axis Communications' technical notes on P-iris technology.
