AXIS 211M - Video Stream
12
MPEG-4 clients
AXIS Media Control (AMC)
The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and Motion
JPEG) from the AXIS 211M 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.
For more information on the AMC settings, please refer to the AXIS
Media Control User’s Manual available from the Axis Web site at
http://www.axis.com from the Network Video link.
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 211M 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 Communications AB
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.
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and
access to each and every individual image contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing
Motion JPEG live video from the AXIS 211M is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet
Explorer in Windows. Note also that multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams can use different image
settings.
Alternative methods of accessing the video stream
Video/images from the AXIS 211M can also be accessed in the following ways:
• Motion JPEG server push (if supported by the client, e.g. Firefox). This option maintains an open HTTP
connection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required. See
HTML
Examples, on page 23.
• Still JPEG images in a browser. Enter, e.g. the path: http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolu-
tion=320x240
• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 viewing client to be installed. The paths
that can be used are listed below in the order of preference.
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunnelled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/mpeg4/media.amp
