MPEG-4 clients
AXIS Media Control (AMC)
The recommended method of accessing live video
(MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG) from the AXIS
216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V 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.
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 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V 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
Motion JPEG
This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then
displayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated
motion.
