AXIS 241Q/241S - Using AXIS 241Q/241S
Notes: To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your web browser to allow
the installation of AXIS Media Control (AMC) on your computer. AMC also provides an
MPEG-4 decoder for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time
an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed. Please note that the product administrator may have
disabled the installation of the decoder, as a license is required for each instance. See page
25 for more information.
If your workstation restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS
241Q/241S can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the
online help for more information.
When using a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer with AMC, instead of a
stop, a snapshot and a full screen button, there is a stop and play button in the bottom left
corner of the live view page. For a description of these buttons see The Live View page,
below.
