Action Buttons - Axis 216FD User Manual

Action Buttons

The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the
Live View page. See Event Configuration, on page 30.
Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the
video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers
other than Internet Explorer, or when otherwise not using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to
view the video stream. AMC (an ActiveX control) for Internet Explorer provides its own
snapshot button.
Output Buttons
The output buttons are used to manually activate the output from the Live View page, e.g.
to switch a light on and off. There are 2 options for how the output is activated:
• The Pulse button activates the output for a defined period
• Active/Inactive displays 2 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.
When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with
Internet Explorer.
Note:
It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default and vice versa.
Default Viewer
From the drop-down lists, select the default method for viewing video images for your
browser. The camera will attempt to show the video images in the selected video format
and viewer. If this is not possible, the camera will override the settings and select the best
available combination.
