AXIS 231D+/232D+ - Video Streams 13

The AXIS Media Control

The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and/or Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 231D+/232D+ is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows. This ActiveX component is automatically installed on first use, after which it can be configured by opening the AMC Control Panel applet from the Windows Control Panel. Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer.

Other methods of accessing the video stream

Video/images from the AXIS 231D+/232D+ can also be accessed in the following ways:

If supported by the client, the AXIS 231D+/232D+ can use Motion JPEG server push to display video. This option maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when and for as long as required.

As single JPEG images in a browser. Enter the path. For example: http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=CIF

Windows Media Player. This requires installation of AMC and the MPEG-4 decoder. 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

Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTPS: axrtsphttps://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp

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

Other MPEG-4 clients

Although it may be possible to use other clients to view the MPEG-4 stream, this is not guaranteed by Axis. For some other clients, such as QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple. It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings. To assess the video stream from QuickTime™ the following path can be used:

rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/1/media.amp

This path is for all supported methods, and the client negotiates with the network camera to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.

Notes: <ip> = IP address
