Axis 26031r3 User Manual

Check the Show viewer toolbar box to display e.g. the AXIS Media Control (AMC) or the 

QuickTime viewer toolbar under the video image in your browser.

The administrator can disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included with AMC. 

This is used to prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses can 

be purchased from your Axis dealer.

You can add live video from the AXIS 216FD 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. If MPEG-4 is set as video format, multicasting is 

used and the video stream will be available for 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.

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.

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.

The AXIS 216FD 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. 

Once configured, 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, select either MPEG-2, MPEG-4 

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

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

video sources, in order, or randomly. Select the desired video sources and enter the time in 

seconds to display each source (up to 59 minutes). Click Save.

The Sequence buttons will appear on the Live View page to enable the viewer to start and 

stop the sequence mode.
