Question 10

Which statement is true regarding H.264 and Motion JPEG?
A) The highest bandwidth savings using H.264 compared to Motion JPEG is at high frame rates
B) Bandwidth savings using H.264 has nothing to do with frame rate, only scene complexity
C) Bandwidth savings using H.264 has nothing to do with frame rate, only Group of Video (GOV) setting
D) The highest bandwidth savings using H.264 compared to Motion JPEG is at low frame rates

Accepted Answer

H.264 is known for providing higher bandwidth savings at higher frame rates compared to Motion JPEG. This is because Motion JPEG compresses each individual frame, whereas H.264 uses inter-frame compression, which is more efficient at high frame rates. The complexity of the scene being captured can also affect bandwidth savings, but frame rate is an important factor to consider. The GOV setting determines how frequently the keyframe (I-frame) is sent, but it does not directly impact bandwidth savings.

Question 11

Which is an impact on cameras that are operating above their specified temperature limit?
A) Noise is increased
B) Frame rate is reduced
C) Light sensitivity is decreased
D) Resolution is reduced

Accepted Answer

Operating above the specified temperature can result in increased noise, making it more difficult to capture clear images. While frame rate and light sensitivity may also be affected, the increase in noise is the most significant impact. There is not enough information to determine if resolution will be affected.

Question 12

Which is true regarding the use of a smoked (tinted) dome instead of a clear dome?
A) Decreases color fidelity
B) Decreases field of view
C) Disables infrared capabilities
D) Reduces light sensitivity

Question 13

Which technology can a Video Management Software (VMS) partner incorporate to reduce the impact on recorded video during server maintenance?
A) Local storage at the camera
B) Meta data stream
C) AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP)
D) SNMP

Accepted Answer

Local storage at the camera allows for the video to continue to be recorded even if the server is down for maintenance, reducing the impact on recorded video. Meta data stream, AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP), and SNMP do not directly address the issue of recorded video during server maintenance.
