Multicast video streaming has several important characteristics:
A. Multicast can help to save bandwidth in a network because it allows the same video stream to be delivered to multiple users simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple unicast streams.
B. Multicast can typically not be used to provide video over the internet because many routers and firewalls do not support multicast traffic across the internet, which is more suited for local network environments.
D. Multicast extends the viewer capacity of a camera or an encoder from 10-20 to an unlimited number, as it does not rely on multiple individual connections to distribute the video stream.
H.264 is a video compression standard that adjusts the bit rate based on the motion in the scene. Increased motion results in a higher bit rate because more data is required to accurately represent the changes between frames. Additionally, a longer Group of Video (GOV) length, which means fewer I-frames and more P-frames in a sequence, reduces the overall bit rate since I-frames are larger and require more data. References can be found in the Axis Communications documentation and technical white papers on H.264 compression.
Question # 27
Increase of bandwidth and storage can be a result of (Choose two)
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.

Question # 28
Which is an advantage of the H.264 compression standard?
A.
Bandwidth and storage usage is independent of the amount of motion in the video
B.
Compared to Motion JPEG. H.264 video reduces the CPU load when viewing the video
C.
In most situations, compared to Motion JPEG. H.264 video reduces bandwidth and storage usage
D.
The intra-frame coding makes the video less sensitive to network dropouts
The H.264 compression standard is highly efficient and can significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements compared to Motion JPEG. This is because H.264 uses both intra-frame and inter-frame compression, which reduces the amount of data needed to represent video by eliminating redundant information between successive frames. Axis Network Video documentation states that H.264 can reduce the required bandwidth and storage by up to 50% or more in typical surveillance scenarios, making it an advantageous choice for video compression in surveillance systems.
Question # 29
A VPN
A.
Is required to enable viewing network surveillance video on mobile devices.
B.
Is a network specially optimized to handle video data packets.
C.
Creates a secure tunnel through the network, where your information travels encrypted.
D.
Translates domain names to IP addresses, according to the IPv4 standard.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure tunnel through the network where your information travels encrypted. This means that data transmitted over the VPN is protected from eavesdropping and unauthorized access. It is not specifically optimized for video data packets nor does it translate domain names to IP addresses. Therefore, the correct answer is C. For more detailed information, refer to Axis Communications' guidelines on secure remote access and VPN usage.
Question # 30
A company is looking for a dome designed to withstand vibrations inherent to transportation. Which of the following cameras should be recommended?
The AXIS M3114-R is designed specifically for use in environments with vibrations, such as transportation. It is rugged and can withstand shocks and vibrations inherent in mobile applications. Other models like the AXIS P3344-VE, AXIS M3014, and AXIS P1344 do not have the same level of vibration resistance. Detailed specifications and use cases for the AXIS M3114-R can be found in the Axis Communications product catalog and datasheets.
Question # 31
Which of these focal lengths has the shortest depth of field?
"A longer focal length (such as 48 mm) results in a shorter depth of field compared to shorter focal lengths, meaning only a narrow range of distances will be in focus."
— Axis Communications Academy, Network Video Fundamentals, 2022
"Depth of field decreases as the focal length increases."

On layer 3 of the OSI model, the protocol that enables network traffic is IP (Internet Protocol). IP is responsible for addressing and routing packets of data so that they can travel across networks and reach the correct destination. It provides logical addressing and handles the path through which data is transferred between source and destination nodes. Axis documentation confirms that IP is crucial for network communication and is fundamental for the operation of network video systems.
