AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Setup

When using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) for Windows, select your preferred method of viewing moving images. The options are:

•AMC (ActiveX) - this is the best choice for fast image updating in Internet Explorer for Windows, but might not be possible on computers that have restriction on the installation of additional software.

•QuickTime - for use with MPEG-4 only, select this to use the QuickTime plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

•Java applet - this alternative uses a Java applet to update the images in the browser.

•Still Image - displays still images only. Hit the Refresh button in your browser to view a new image.

When using any other browser than Internet Explorer for Windows, select the appropriate method from the drop-down list for viewing images. The available options are similar to Internet Explorer except for Server Push. With this method, the camera maintains and controls an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required for as long as required.

Viewer settings

Show viewer toolbar - uncheck to remove the viewer toolbar from the Live View page.

Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation - enables/disables the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included with AMC.

Show crosshair in PTZ joystick mode - enables/disables a red position indicator in the center of the image when the joystick navigation mode is selected.

Use PTZ joystick mode as default - enabling this sets the PTZ mode to joystick. The mode can temporarily be changed on the Live View page, but will default to joystick if selected.

Enable recording button - enables recording directly from the Live View page. The recording is saved in the folder specified in the Recording tab in the AMC Control Applet. Note that this button is only available when viewing with AMC.

You can add live video from the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E to your own web site. The camera can transmit a Motion JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to fewer.

Select the preferred Video Format from the drop down list. The available options are Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime. If MPEG-4 is set as the video format, note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each viewer.

The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image Type, Image size and other optional settings to configure the video stream to suit your Web page. Click Update once satisfied.

The camera generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own Web page code.

External Video

An external video source is a source originating from some other Axis device on the network. The images from these sources can be displayed just as if they were produced by the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E.

The External Video Source list shows all of the external video sources currently configured. The information displayed is the name of the source and the path to the video stream. Up to 20 external video sources can be configured. Please see the online help for more information.
