HTML Examples
You can add live video from the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E to your own web site. The camera can transmit
a Motion JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to
fewer.
Select the preferred Video Format from the drop down list. The available options are Motion JPEG, MPEG-4
using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime. If MPEG-4 is set as the video format, note that a separate MPEG-4
license is required for each viewer.
The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image Type, Image size and other optional settings to
configure the video stream to suit your Web page. Click Update once satisfied.
The camera generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own
Web page code.
External Video
An external video source is a source originating from some other Axis device on the network. The images from
these sources can be displayed just as if they were produced by the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E.
The External Video Source list shows all of the external video sources currently configured. The information
displayed is the name of the source and the path to the video stream. Up to 20 external video sources can be
configured. Please see the online help
for more information.
