Sample Axis ANVE Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Axis ANVE exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 111+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1On the Axis camera naming convention, which series letter typically denotes the highest-performance fixed and PTZ cameras?

A.Q

B.M

C.P

D.F

Explanation: Axis uses M for entry-level value, P for performance/mainstream, and Q for the highest-performance professional cameras with the most demanding feature sets. F-series are modular cameras with separated sensor and main unit, not a performance tier.

2Which video compression standard typically delivers the lowest bitrate for the same image quality compared with H.264 and MJPEG?

A.H.265 (HEVC)

B.H.264 (AVC)

C.MJPEG

D.MPEG-2

Explanation: H.265 / HEVC achieves roughly 50% lower bitrate than H.264 for similar quality by using larger coding units and improved prediction. MJPEG encodes each frame independently, producing the highest bitrate. MPEG-2 is older and far less efficient than H.264 or H.265.

3An installer needs to power an Axis bullet camera with a built-in heater that draws 25 W. Which PoE standard is required?

A.IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++ / Type 4)

B.IEEE 802.3af (PoE / Type 1)

C.IEEE 802.3at (PoE+ / Type 2)

D.Passive 24 V PoE

Explanation: 802.3af / Type 1 delivers up to 15.4 W at the source (12.95 W at the device), which is insufficient for a 25 W camera. 802.3at / Type 2 (PoE+) provides up to 30 W at the source and is the correct standard for a 25 W heated camera. 802.3bt is needed only above 30 W. Passive 24 V is not a standard PoE.

4What is the primary purpose of Axis Zipstream technology?

A.Reduce bandwidth and storage by lowering bitrate in regions with no relevant motion while keeping forensic detail in regions of interest

B.Increase frame rate from 30 fps to 60 fps

C.Convert MJPEG streams to H.264 in the camera

D.Encrypt the video stream end-to-end

Explanation: Zipstream is a smart bitrate control on top of H.264 or H.265 that detects forensically important regions (faces, license plates, motion) and encodes them at high quality while aggressively compressing static background, typically cutting bandwidth and storage by 50% or more. It does not change frame rate or perform stream conversion or encryption.

5A scene has very bright sunlight in the background and a dark foreground (a doorway). Which Axis feature is most appropriate?

A.Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) - Forensic Capture

B.Lightfinder

C.OptimizedIR

D.Defog

Explanation: WDR-Forensic Capture handles high-contrast scenes by capturing multiple exposures and combining them so both bright and dark areas are usable. Lightfinder is for low-light color rendition, OptimizedIR is for dark scenes with built-in IR illumination, and Defog corrects fog/haze.

6What pixel density is generally recommended for facial identification under DORI/operational requirements used by Axis design tools?

A.About 250 px/m (76 px/ft)

B.About 25 px/m (8 px/ft)

C.About 62 px/m (19 px/ft)

D.About 1000 px/m (305 px/ft)

Explanation: The DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) guidance Axis uses in design tools recommends roughly 25 px/m for detection, 62 px/m for observation, 125 px/m for recognition, and 250 px/m for identification of an unknown subject. 1000 px/m is unnecessarily dense and 25 px/m only allows detection that someone is present.

7Which port and protocol does an Axis camera use by default for an unencrypted HTTP connection from a browser?

A.TCP 80 (HTTP)

B.TCP 443 (HTTPS)

C.UDP 554 (RTSP)

D.TCP 22 (SSH)

Explanation: TCP 80 is the default HTTP port used by the Axis web interface unless HTTPS-only is enforced. TCP 443 is HTTPS, UDP 554 is the well-known RTSP port (TCP transport is also supported), and TCP 22 is SSH. Axis hardening guidance recommends moving to HTTPS-only.

8An installer is asked to replace an analog PTZ camera over coax with an Axis IP camera but wants to keep the existing coax run. Which device makes this possible?

A.Ethernet over coax (PoC) extender

B.Layer 3 router

C.Wireless access point

D.PoE midspan

Explanation: Ethernet/PoE over coax extenders (commonly EoC or 'PoC' devices such as the AXIS T8642) carry both Ethernet and PoE over existing RG-59/6 coax, allowing IP camera installation without pulling new cable. A router, AP, or midspan does not solve the coax-to-Ethernet conversion.

9Which Axis tool is designed to estimate bandwidth, storage, and license needs for an Axis Camera Station deployment from cameras placed on a floor plan?

A.AXIS Site Designer

B.AXIS IP Utility

C.AXIS Device Manager

D.AXIS Camera Companion

Explanation: AXIS Site Designer is the recommended tool for site-design proposals: drop cameras on a floor plan, set scenes and pixel density, and the tool computes storage, bandwidth, and AXIS Camera Station licensing. AXIS IP Utility discovers cameras on a LAN, AXIS Device Manager mass-configures devices, and AXIS Camera Companion is a small-system VMS.

10Approximately how much disk storage is needed to record one hour of a single H.264 stream running at a constant 4 Mbit/s?

A.About 1.8 GB

B.About 14 GB

C.About 240 MB

D.About 36 GB

Explanation: Storage = bitrate x time. 4 Mbit/s x 3600 s = 14,400 Mbit = 1,800 MB = 1.8 GB. 14 GB would be ~31 Mbit/s, 240 MB would be ~533 kbit/s, and 36 GB would be ~80 Mbit/s.

Axis ANVE: Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize the Axis camera naming convention (series letter, performance class, environment indicator) - several questions test how to read a model number like AXIS P3265-LVE.

2Practice lens math: focal length, sensor size, field of view, and pixels-per-meter for identification (250 px/m), recognition (125 px/m), and detection (25 px/m) using the Axis Lens Calculator.

3Be fluent on bitrate and storage: a 1-Mbit/s stream uses about 10.8 GB/day; multiply by camera count, frame rate, scene complexity, and Zipstream savings.

4Know the difference between H.264, H.265, and MJPEG, and when CBR vs. MBR vs. VBR vs. Zipstream is the right encoding choice.

5Walk through PoE classes (Type 1 through Type 4 / IEEE 802.3af, at, bt) and how high-power cameras with heaters or PTZ drives need PoE++ or a midspan.

6Be ready for WDR, lightfinder, IR, and OptimizedIR scenarios - questions often pair a low-light or backlit scene with the right Axis feature.

7Practice a small AXIS Camera Station deployment in a virtual lab: add cameras, configure recording, set retention, and review system reports.

8Review cybersecurity hardening: HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X with certificates, firmware signing, secure boot, and the Axis Hardening Guide.
