AXIS 213 - Video and Audio Streams
Other methods of accessing the video stream
Video/images from the AXIS 213 can also be accessed in the following ways:
• If supported by the client, the AXIS 213 can use Motion JPEG server push to dis-
play 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
Note:
<ip> = IP address.
Other MPEG-4 clients
Although it may be possible to use other clients to view the MPEG-4 stream, this is
not guaranteed by Axis.
For some other clients, e.g. QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple.
It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings.
To assess the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ the following path can be used:
rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
This path is for all supported methods, and the client will negotiate with the AXIS
213 to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.
Note: <ip> = IP address.
Audio transmission methods
The audio stream can be accessed in the Live View page when viewing either Motion
JPEG or MPEG.
