Check the Show viewer toolbar box to display e.g. the AXIS Media Control (AMC) or the QuickTime viewer

AMC Settings
The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included with AMC. This is used to
prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses can be purchased from your Axis dealer.
HTML Examples
You can add live video from the AXIS 212 PTZ to your own web site. The camera can transmit a Motion JPEG
stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If MPEG-4 is
set as video format, multicasting is used and the video stream will be available for 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.
Select the preferred Video Format from the drop down list. The available options are Motion JPEG, MPEG-4
using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime.
The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image Type, Image size and other optional settings to
configure the video stream to suit your Web page.
Click Update once satisfied.
The camera generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own
Web page code.
External Video
The AXIS 212 PTZ 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. Once configured, 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, select either MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG as the type of video stream to receive.
Sequence Mode
The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the selected preset positions, in a set order or randomly.
Select the desired preset positions and enter the time to display each position. Click Save.
The Sequence buttons will appear on the Live View page to enable the viewer to start and stop the
sequence mode. For more information see Preset Positions, on page 21.
