AXIS 210/210A/211/211A - Live View Config
When using any other browser 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 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
AXIS Media Control, on page 23.
HTML Examples
You can add live video from the cameras to your own web site. The camera can transmit a
Motion JPEG or unicast MPEG-4 stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although
an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If multicast MPEG-4 is used, the video stream
will be available to an unlimited number of viewers connected to the parts of the network
where multicast is enabled. Please note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each
viewer.
Enter the Video Format, Image Type, Image size and other settings to suit your Web page
and 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.
External Video
The cameras can also display video images from other Axis network cameras and video
servers, directly on the Live View page. These are known as External Video sources. These
external video sources are available from the drop-down list on the Live View page.
Click the Add button to open the External Video Source Setup dialog, which is used to
make all the necessary settings. Enter the IP address or host name of the external video
source you wish to add. Depending on the external source, then select either MPEG-2,
MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG as the type of video stream to receive.
Example of a path to an external video source:
Sequence Mode
The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the internal and selected external
video sources, in order, or randomly.
