MPEG-4 clients
AXIS Media Control (AMC)
The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion
JPEG) from the AXIS 212 PTZ is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC)
in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows.
The AMC control panel can be used to configure various video and
audio settings. Please see the readme file included in the tool for more
information.
The AMC control panel is automatically installed on first use, after
which it can be configured.
Open the AMC Control Panel from:
• Windows Control Panel (from the Start menu)
• Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer and
click Settings in the menu.
Other MPEG-4 clients
QuickTime™ & Real Player™
To access the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ or Real Player™ the following paths can be used:
• rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.3gp
Notes: • The AXIS 212 PTZ supports QuickTime 6.5.1 (or later) and Real Player 10.5 (or later)
• QuickTime adds latency to the video and audio stream (up to 3 seconds)
• It may be possible to use other players to view the MPEG-4 stream using the paths above, although this is not guaranteed by Axis
• <ip> = IP address
Other methods of accessing the video stream
Video/images from the AXIS 212 PTZ can also be accessed in the following ways:
• If supported by the client, the AXIS 212 PTZ can use Motion JPEG server push to display video. This option
maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as
required.
• As single JPEG images in a browser. Enter e.g. the path: http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=CIF
• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 decoder to be installed. The paths that can be
used are listed below, in the order of preference.
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTPS: axrtsphttps://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
Notes: <ip> = IP address
