To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, you may set your browser to allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed AMC also installs an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video streams. As a license is required for each instance of the decoder, the product administrator may have disabled the installation. -

Video/images from the AXIS 210A/211A can also be accessed in the following ways: • If supported by the client, the AXIS 210A/211A can use Motion JPEG server push to display 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: Audio Stream Types
To assess the video stream from e.g. QuickTime™ the following path can be used: rtsp://<IP address>/mpeg4/media.amp This path is for all supported methods, and the client will negotiate with the AXIS 210A/211A to determine exactly which transport protocol to use. - Page 18 AXIS 210A/211A - Video Streams Accessing the Audio Streams In addition to accessing audio in the Live View page using AMC, audio from the AXIS 210A/211A can also be accessed in the following ways: HTTP API You can read about accessing audio for the other protocols through the HTTP-API at http://www.axis.com/techsup...

Noise canceling is a way of reducing the background noise when there is no useful audio present. A typical application could be that the camera is set up in a noisy environment, and you are only interested in hearing the sound from the AXIS 210A/211A when someone is speaking close to the microphone. - Page 28 AXIS 210A/211A - Audio There are two adjustable parameters available for noise cancellation: • Noise canceller threshold level • Noise canceller attenuation When the incoming sound is louder than the threshold it will pass without being affected. When lower than the threshold, the incoming sound will be reduced by a certain attenuation factor.
