Axis 200 - Automatic Picture Updates

Automatic Picture Updates
The AXIS 200 supports three methods for automatic picture updates,
namely:
•Server push
• Java image feed
• Refresh image feed
These are available from links on the AXIS 200 Home Page.
Server Push
The Server push function pushes new snapshots into your Web
browser continuously.
The frame rate depends on how fast the AXIS 200 can deliver the
snapshot data over the available network bandwidth. Therefore, you
cannot adjust the frequency of the Server push snapshots within your
Web browser.
In order to limit the memory overhead that this facility demands, a
maximum number of 5 clients can simultaneously activate a Server
push link to the same camera. Once this client threshold has been
exceeded, a single snapshot image is produced for all additional clients
that are trying to activate the link.
Note:
❏ The Server push function is currently supported by Netscape
Navigator only. However, you can download an ActiveX
component from the AXIS 200 web site that will provide the
same function.
Java Image Feed
This function is implemented within a Java applet that can be started
from anywhere on the network. The refresh rate is programmable.
Refresh Image Feed
This function instructs your Web browser to collect a new snapshot at
a programmable rate. It is supported by most standard Web browsers.
Note:
❏ To terminate the automatic picture updating, you can click Stop
or enter another URL in the location/address field.
