26AXIS 216FD - Live View Config

Action Buttons

The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the Live View page. See Event Configuration, on page 28.

Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers other than Internet Explorer, or when otherwise not using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view the video stream. AMC (an ActiveX control) for Internet Explorer provides its own snapshot button.

Output Buttons

The output buttons are used to manually activate the output from the Live View page, e.g. to switch a light on and off. There are 2 options for how the output is activated:

•The Pulse button activates the output for a defined period

•Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)

Default Video Format

Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to temporarily change the format.

When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with Internet Explorer.

Note: It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default and vice versa.

Default Viewer

From the drop-down lists, select the default method for viewing video images for your browser. The camera will attempt to show the video images in the selected video format and viewer. If this is not possible, the camera will override the settings and select the best available combination.
