The AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) is a powerful tool that allows users to install and run third-party applications directly on Axis cameras. This capability transforms the cameras into intelligent devices that can perform a variety of tasks, such as video analytics, object recognition, and event detection, without the need for additional hardware. By running applications directly on the camera, ACAP enhances the flexibility and functionality of surveillance systems. Axis Network Video documentation explains how ACAP leverages the processing power of the cameras to deliver advanced features and capabilities.

To improve the overall quality of the image:
A). Decrease image compression setting: Lowering the compression setting will reduce artifacts and improve image clarity by preserving more of the original data in each frame. E. Change to a camera with higher resolution: Using a camera with higher resolution will capture more detail and improve the clarity of the enlarged image.
These adjustments ensure better image quality by enhancing the detail and reducing compression artifacts.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and NAS (Network Attached Storage) are two common methods to extend server storage for video. RAID allows for increased storage capacity and data redundancy by combining multiple hard drives into a single logical unit, improving performance and fault tolerance. NAS provides additional storage over the network, enabling easy expansion and accessibility for video data. Both solutions are widely used in video surveillance systems to ensure ample storage and data reliability. This information is verified from Axis Communications' best practices and technical guidelines on storage solutions for video surveillance.

The feature in Axis cameras that allows a fixed box style camera to tell a PTZ camera to move to a preset is the HTTP server. Axis cameras can use HTTP commands to communicate with each other over the network.
By sending an HTTP request from a fixed camera, the PTZ camera can be directed to move to a specific preset position, enabling coordinated surveillance coverage.

Motion blur in recordings is typically caused by a slow shutter speed, which allows the camera sensor to capture light for a longer period, resulting in blurred images of moving objects. Increasing the shutter speed reduces the exposure time, which helps to freeze motion and reduce blur. Adjusting the shutter speed is the most effective way to address motion blur in fixed cameras.
