Installing the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer (Client)

The first time the AXIS 250S is accessed from a browser, the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer will
automatically be installed. This component is required for viewing the video stream in the
browser. Simply accept the license agreement displayed in the setup window and the client
will install.
Important!
• The AXIS 250S is supplied with three (3) licenses for the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer. Installing more than 3
instances of the viewer contravenes the terms of the license agreement and is prohibited. To pur-
chase further licenses, please contact your Axis reseller.
• To allow the installation of the AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Viewer, set your browser to allow the installation
of signed ActiveX controls. This is the default setting in Internet Explorer.
• The AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer can be uninstalled from "Add/Remove programs" in the Windows Control
Panel.
After the installation has completed, restart your computer, if required.
After the client is installed, there will be a new icon in the Windows Control Panel. Clicking
on this icon opens the properties tool for the client. There are now a number of settings that
can be made. These are:
Network Connection Timeout - This value is
the maximum length of time in seconds that
the client will attempt to connect to the
server, before displaying an error message.
The default setting is 15 seconds.
Set the AXIS MPEG-2 decoder as the default
viewing codec - selecting this option means
that the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer client will
always be used to view MPEG-2 video
streams. Note that installing other decoders at
a later date may override this setting.
