•AMC(ActiveX)- This is the best choice for fast image updating in Internet Explorer, but might not be possible on computers that have restriction on the installation of additional software.

•QuickTime - For use with MPEG-4 only, select this to use the QuickTime plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

•Java applet - This alternative uses a Java applet to update the images in the browser.

•Still Image - Displays still images only. Hit the Refresh button in your browser to view a new image.

When using any browser other than Internet Explorer for Windows, select the appropriate method from the drop-down list for viewing images. The available options are similar to Internet Explorer except for Server Push. With this method, the camera maintains and controls an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required for as long as required. Please see the online help for more information.

Viewer settings

Checking the Show viewer toolbar option displays the viewer toolbar under the video stream in your browser.

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. See also The AXIS Media Control, on page 14.

Check the record button option to record the current video stream. The location where the image file is saved can be specified using the AMC Control Panel.

Action Buttons

The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the Live View page. See Event Configuration, on page 31.

Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers other than Internet Explorer for Windows, or when otherwise not using ActiveX to view the video stream. The ActiveX viewing component (AXIS Media Control) for Internet Explorer provides its own snapshot button.
