MPEG-4 clients

AXIS Media Control (AMC)

The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 216FD/FD-V 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.

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 216FD/FD-V 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

<ip> = IP address

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 216FD/FD-V 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.
