Page 14: Video Streams
The Live View page in the AXIS 210/211 provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page. -
Page 15: Mpeg-4 Protocols And Communication Methods
However, if more and more unicast clients connect simultaneously, the AXIS 210/211 will at some point become overloaded. There is also a maximum of 20 simultaneous viewers to be considered. -
Page 16: The Axis Media Control
Video/images from the AXIS 210/211 can also be accessed in the following ways: • If supported by the client, the AXIS 210/211 can use Motion JPEG server push to dis- play video. This option maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required. - Page 17 AXIS 210/211 - Video Streams Other MPEG-4 clients Although it may be possible to use other clients to view the MPEG-4 stream, this is not guaranteed by Axis. For some other clients, e.g. QuickTime™ the Video Object Type must be set to Simple. It may also be necessary to adjust the advanced MPEG-4 settings.
