Action Buttons
The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually start and stop an event from the Live 

View page. See Event configuration, on page 32. The snapshot button allows you to take a 

snapshot of the video stream and save it to a computer.

Output Buttons
These buttons are used to control the outputs on the Axis video server and thus the 

equipment connected to them, such as switching a light on or off:

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

Default Video Format
Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show 

video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to 

temporarily change the format. 

Default Viewer
Select from the drop-down list the viewer you wish to use for your web browser. Please see 

the online help for more information.

Viewer Settings
Show viewer toolbar - Check this to display the viewer’s own toolbar under the image.
Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation - By checking/unchecking this box, the 

administrator can enable or 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. 

Show crosshair in PTZ joystick mode - This will enable the display of a crosshair in the 

video image when the PTZ mode is set to joystick.

Use PTZ joystick mode as default - Enabling this sets the PTZ mode to joystick. The mode 

can be changed temporarily on the PTZ Control Panel, but will default to joystick if this is 

selected. 

Enable recording button for MPEG-4 - Enabling this button allows the user to start an 

MPEG-4 recording directly from the Live View page.

Live video from the Axis video server can be added to your own web page. 

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 using AMC is 

set as the video format, note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each viewer.
