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 21.

Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the video stream by clicking this button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers other than Internet Explorer, 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.

Output Buttons

These buttons can then be used to manually activate the output from the Live View page, e.g. to switch a light on and off. There are 2 options for how the output is activated:

•The Pulse button activates the output for a defined period

•Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)

Default Video Format

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.

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

Default Viewer

When using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) in Windows, select your preferred method of viewing moving images. The options are:

•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.
