Output Buttons
These buttons can then be used to manually start and stop an event from the Live View page, such as switching 

a light on/off:

• The Pulse button activates the port for a defined period
• Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)

You can add live video from the camera 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 camera 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, 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 cycle through the internal and selected external video sources, in 

order, or randomly.
