Axis Communications 210/211 Html Examples, Default Video Format in Internet Explorer for Windows

26AXIS 210/211 - Live View Config

Default Video Format in Internet Explorer for Windows

Select the default format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to temporarily change the format.

When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with Internet Explorer.

Note: It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default, and vice versa.

AMC (AXIS Media Control) Settings

Checking the Show viewer toolbar box displays the AMC toolbar under the video stream. This toolbar is only available when using AMC. See also AXIS Media Control, on page 22.

By checking the Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation box, it is also possible for the Administrator to enable or disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder. This is used to prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses can be purchased from your Axis dealer.

Default Viewer for Motion JPEG

Select the appropriate radio button to define the method for viewing moving video images, depending on your browser and settings.

Please see the online help for more information.

HTML Examples

You can add live video from your AXIS 210/211 to your own web site. The camera can send Motion-JPEG or MPEG-4 images to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to fewer. Note that this does not affect or include the number of multicast viewers.

On the HTML examples page, select the required video format. For Motion JPEG, optionally modify the settings for image size, compression, etc., and then click Update. The camera then generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own web page code.

If MPEG-4 multicasting is used, the video stream will be available to the viewers connected to the parts of the network where multicast is enabled. Please note that a separate MPEG-4 decoder license is required for each viewer.
