The AXIS Media Control

The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and/or Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 233D 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 233D can also be accessed in the following ways:

If supported by the client, the AXIS 233D 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 required, for as long as required.

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

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

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, e.g. QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple, under Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4. It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings.To assess the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ the following path can be used:

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

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

Notes: <ip> = IP address

233D specifications

Axis Communications, a pioneer in the field of network video solutions, has continually pushed the envelope in surveillance technology with its innovative products. Among its esteemed offerings, the Axis 233D stands out as a formidable tool for both security professionals and organizations seeking comprehensive monitoring solutions.

The Axis 233D is a high-performance PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. One of its main features is the ability to provide high-resolution video streaming at 30 frames per second, ensuring that users can capture clear and detailed images, even in dynamic situations. This camera supports a resolution of up to 2 megapixels, which enhances its ability to deliver crisp visuals, crucial for identifying individuals and objects in the monitored areas.

Equipped with advanced pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, the Axis 233D can cover expansive areas with ease. The camera offers a 360-degree endless rotation for pan movements and a wide field of view, making it ideal for large spaces like parking lots, shopping centers, and public transport stations. The powerful zoom lens allows operators to focus on specific subjects from a distance, which is essential in security monitoring.

The Axis 233D also employs robust technologies to ensure excellent performance in various lighting conditions. With integrated WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), this camera can balance scenes with significant contrasts in lighting, ensuring that both bright and dark areas are clearly visible. Additionally, features like digital noise reduction contribute to clearer images in low-light situations, making it versatile for day and night operation.

Another characteristic that sets the Axis 233D apart is its network functionality. This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation as it requires only a single Ethernet cable for both power and data transfer. It also leverages Axis' advanced video compression technologies, including H.264, which optimizes bandwidth usage while maintaining high image quality.

Furthermore, the Axis 233D is embedded with intelligent video analytics, enabling proactive monitoring. Functions such as motion detection and object tracking help users respond quickly to potential security threats. This capability is critical in real-time environments where each moment counts.

In summary, the Axis Communications 233D is a high-end surveillance solution that marries advanced technology with user-friendly features. With its PTZ functionalities, exceptional image quality, robust performance in varying light conditions, and intelligent analytics, it serves as an indispensable asset for security professionals looking to enhance their surveillance systems effectively. As security needs continue to evolve, the Axis 233D remains at the forefront of addressing those challenges.
