MPEG-4 clients

AXIS Media Control (AMC)

The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 207MW 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, and also the AMC User’s Manual, available on the CD supplied with this product, or from www.axis.com/techsup

The AMC control panel is automatically installed on first use and can then be opened:

•From the Windows Control Panel (from the Start menu)

•By right-clicking the image in Internet Explorer and clicking 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 207MW 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 207MW 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.
