AXIS Device Manager is the tool that enables easy upgrade of device firmware. It provides a comprehensive solution for managing multiple Axis devices, including firmware upgrades, configuration, and maintenance. AXIS Device Manager allows administrators to schedule and deploy firmware updates efficiently across multiple devices, ensuring that all devices are running the latest firmware with minimal downtime. This information is confirmed by Axis Communications' documentation on device management tools.
Question # 35
Which technology can add audio and I/O functionality to a camera?
Portcast technology can add audio and I/O functionality to a camera. It allows for the integration of additional functionalities such as audio inputs and outputs, as well as input/output ports for various sensors and devices. This feature enhances the capabilities of the camera beyond just video recording. This information is corroborated by Axis Communications' technical documentation and product guides.
Question # 36
Closing the aperture at a fixed focal length provides
Closing the aperture at a fixed focal length increases the f-number (aperture value), resulting in a longer depth of field. This means that a greater portion of the scene will be in focus, both in the foreground and background. A higher f-number indicates a smaller aperture, which allows less light to enter the lens but enhances the sharpness and clarity of the image over a larger depth.

OptimizedIR technology in Axis cameras refers to the intelligent adaptation of IR illumination to the camera's field of view. This ensures even illumination across the entire scene, reducing overexposure and underexposure caused by traditional fixed IR lights. The IR LEDs adjust their intensity and spread according to the zoom level and scene requirements, providing optimal image quality in low-light conditions. Axis documentation highlights OptimizedIR as a feature that enhances night-time surveillance by ensuring balanced lighting.
Question # 38
If the subject is 3 m (10 ft) away, what is the pixel density for a 1920x1080 camera?
For a 1920x1080 camera, the pixel density at a distance of 3 meters (10 feet) can be calculated using the formula for pixel density (pixels per meter/foot). Given the resolution and distance, the pixel density is 162 pixels per meter (54 pixels per foot). Axis provides guidelines and tools for calculating pixel density to ensure the camera setup meets the required image quality for identification and recognition purposes in their technical resources and planning tools.
Pixel density describes the number of pixels per meter (or foot) horizontally. This metric is crucial for determining the level of detail that a camera can capture over a given area, affecting the clarity and usability of the video for tasks such as identification and recognition. Higher pixel density results in better image detail. Axis Communications' technical resources on image quality and resolution confirm this definition of pixel density.
Question # 40
The video stream from the pole-mounted camera recording this scene has a continuously high bitrate (50 Mbit/s) even in H.265. Which is the most likely explanation?
A continuously high bitrate in a video stream, even when using H.265 compression, is often due to significant movement within the scene. High levels of motion require more data to be encoded to maintain image quality, resulting in a higher bitrate. This is because the video encoder must frequently update large portions of the image to accurately represent the moving objects. Axis Communications' documentation on video bitrate management indicates that scenes with much movement lead to increased bitrate due to the dynamic changes requiring constant encoding.
Question # 41
How does Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP conserve bandwidth and storage?
Options:
A.
It lowers the framerate if the scene is unchanged
B.
It increases compression if the scene is unchanged
Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP (Group of Pictures) conserves bandwidth and storage by skipping new I-frames if the scene is unchanged. I-frames (intra-coded frames) are larger than P-frames (predictive frames) and B-frames (bi-directional frames) because they contain the full image data. By reducing the frequency of I-frames when there is no motion or change in the scene, Zipstream significantly lowers the data rate without compromising image quality. Axis documentation explains how Zipstream’s Dynamic GOP feature optimizes video encoding to conserve resources effectively.
Question # 42
Which dome type might negatively affect the image quality?
A smoked dome might negatively affect the image quality. Smoked domes can reduce the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, leading to darker and less clear images. While they offer additional privacy and reduce the visibility of the camera’s direction, they can compromise the overall image clarity and brightness. Axis Communications' documentation on dome camera housings and their impact on image quality confirms this.
Question # 43
What is the primary purpose of the accessory on this dome?
The primary purpose of the accessory on this dome camera is to reduce the weather impact. This accessory, often referred to as a weather shield or rain guard, helps protect the camera lens from rain, snow, and other environmental elements, ensuring clear visibility and reducing the need for maintenance. It also helps to minimize the impact of direct sunlight, reducing glare and improving image quality.References: Axis Dome Camera Accessories
