AXIS 231D/232D - Video Streams
RTP/RTSP
This unicast method is RTP tunneled over RTSP. This can be used to exploit the fact that it
is relatively simple to configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.
RTP/RTSP/HTTP or RTP/RTSP/HTTPS
These two methods can also be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are commonly
configured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled.
The AXIS Media Control
The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and/or Motion JPEG) from the
AXIS 231D/232D is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer
for Windows. This ActiveX component is automatically installed on first use, after which it
can be configured by opening the AMC Control Panel applet from the Windows Control
Panel. Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer.
Other methods of accessing the video stream
Video/images from the AXIS 231D/232D can also be accessed in the following ways:
• If supported by the client, the AXIS 231D/232D 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
address>/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 address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip
address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTPS: axrtsphttps://<ip
address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip address>/mpeg4/media.amp
