AXIS 231D+/232D+ - Video Streams
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
in 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 and for as long as required.
• As single JPEG images in a browser
. Enter the path. For example:
http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=CIF
• Windows Media Player. This requires installation of AMC and the MPEG-4 decoder
. The
paths that can be used are listed below, in the order of preference.
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/mpeg4/medi
a.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
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, such as 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 QuickTime™ the following path can be used:
rtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/1/media.amp
This path is for all supported methods, and the
client negotiates with the network camera
to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.
Notes:
<ip> = IP address
