AXIS 211W - Video Stream

MPEG-4 clients

AXIS Media Control (AMC)

The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion

JPEG) from the AXIS 211W is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in

Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows.

The AMC control panel can be used to configure various video and audio settings. Please see the readme file included in the tool for more information.

The AMC control panel is automatically installed on first use, after which it can be configured. Open the AMC Control Panel from:

•Windows Control Panel (from the Start menu)

•Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer and click Settings in the menu.

For more information on the AMC settings, please refer to the AXIS

Media Control User’s Manual available from the Axis Web site at

http://www.axis.com

QuickTime™ & Real Player™

To access the video stream from, e.g. QuickTime™ or Real Player™ the following paths can be used:

•rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

•rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.3gp

Notes: • The AXIS 211W supports QuickTime 6.5.1 (or later) and Real Player 10.5 (or later)

•QuickTime adds latency to the video and audio stream (up to 3 seconds)

•It may be possible to use other players to view the MPEG-4 stream using the paths above, although this is not guaranteed by Axis Communications AB

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.

The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to each and every individual image contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the AXIS 211W is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows. Note also that multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams can use different image settings.

Alternative methods of accessing the video stream

Video/images from the AXIS 211W can also be accessed in the following ways:

•Motion JPEG server push (if supported by the client, e.g. Firefox). This option maintains an open HTTP con- nection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required.

•Still JPEG images in a browser. Enter, e.g. the path: http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320x240

•Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 viewing client to be installed. The paths that can be used are listed below in the order of preference.

•Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

•Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

•Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

•Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

Note: <ip> = IP address
