Installing the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer (Client)
The first time the AXIS 250S is accessed from a browser, the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer will automatically be installed. This component is required for viewing the video stream in the browser. Simply accept the license agreement displayed in the setup window and the client will install.
Important!
•The AXIS 250S is supplied with three (3) licenses for the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer. Installing more than 3 instances of the viewer contravenes the terms of the license agreement and is prohibited. To pur- chase further licenses, please contact your Axis reseller.
•To allow the installation of the AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Viewer, set your browser to allow the installation of signed ActiveX controls. This is the default setting in Internet Explorer.
•The AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer can be uninstalled from “Add/Remove programs” in the Windows Control Panel.
After the installation has completed restart your computer, if required.
After the client is installed, there will be a new icon in the Windows Control Panel. Clicking on this icon opens the properties tool for the client. There are now a number of settings that can be made. These are:
Network Connection Timeout - This value is the maximum length of time in seconds that the client will attempt to connect to the server, before displaying an error message. The default setting is 15 seconds.
Set the AXIS MPEG-2 decoder as the default viewing codec - selecting this option means that the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer client will always be used to view
MPEG-2 video streams. Note that installing other decoders at a later date may override this setting.
