Other Methods Of Accessing The Video Stream - Axis 213 PTZ User Manual

Other methods of accessing the video stream

Video/images from the AXIS 213 can also be accessed in the following ways:
• If supported by the client, the AXIS 213 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.
• As single JPEG images in a browser. Enter e.g. the path: http://<IP
address>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=CIF
• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 decoder to be
installed. The paths that can be used are listed below, in the order of preference.
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<IP address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<IP address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<IP
address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTPS: axrtsphttps://<IP
address>/mpeg4/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<IP address>/mpeg4/media.amp
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.
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 213
to determine exactly which transport protocol to use.
Audio transmission methods
The audio stream can be accessed in the Live View page when viewing either Motion
JPEG or MPEG.
