Axis Communications 210 User Manual

When using any other browser than Internet Explorer for Windows, select the appropriate 

method from the drop-down list for viewing images. The available options are similar to 

Internet Explorer

except for Server Push. With this method, the camera maintains and 

controls an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required for 

as long as required.Please see the online help 

for more information.

Checking the Show viewer toolbar displays the viewer toolbar under the video stream in 

your browser. 

By checking the Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation box, it is also possible for the 

Administrator to enable or disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder. This is used to 

prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses can be purchased 

from your Axis dealer. See also AXIS Media Control, on page 23.

You can add live video from the cameras to your own web site. The camera can transmit a 

Motion JPEG or unicast MPEG-4 stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although 

an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If multicast MPEG-4 is used, the video stream 

will be available to an unlimited number of viewers connected to the parts of the network 

where multicast is enabled. Please note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each 

viewer.

Enter the Video Format, Image Type, Image size and other settings to suit your Web page 

and click Update. The camera then generates the required source code for your 

configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own Web page code. 

The cameras can also display video images from other Axis network cameras and video 

servers, directly on the Live View page. These are known as External Video sources. These 

external video sources are available from the drop-down list on the Live View page. 

Click the Add button to open the External Video Source Setup dialog, which is used to 

make all the necessary settings. Enter the IP address or host name of the external video 

source you wish to add. Depending on the external source, then select either MPEG-2, 

MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG as the type of video stream to receive.

Example of a path to an external video source:

The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the internal and selected external 

video sources, in order, or randomly.
