    Using the Video Server The AXIS 282/AXIS 282A can be used with most standard operating systems and browsers. The recommended browser is Internet Explorer with Windows, and Mozilla with other operating systems. See also the Technical Specifications, on page 66.

  • Page 16: The Live View Page

    •To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. AMC also provides an MPEG-4 decoder for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed.

  • Page 18: Video And Audio Streams

    The Live View page in the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A provides access to Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video and audio streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video and audio streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.

  • Page 19: Audio Stream Types

    Notes: •MPEG-4 is licensed technology. The AXIS 282/AXIS 282A includes one license for the decoder required for viewing in AMC. Installing additional unlicensed copies of this decoder is prohib- ited. To purchase more decoder licenses, contact your Axis reseller. •All clients viewing the MPEG-4 stream must use the same image settings.

  • Page 20: How To Stream Mpeg-4

    The recommended method of accessing live video (MPEG-4 and/or Motion JPEG) and audio from the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows. This ActiveX component is automatically installed on first use, after which it can be configured by opening the AMC Control Panel applet from the Windows Control Panel.

  • Page 21: Other Methods Of Accessing The Video Stream

    Video/images from the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A can also be accessed in the following ways: • If supported by the client, the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A 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.

The MPEG-4 standard provides many different coding tools for various applications in different situations. As most MPEG-4 clients do not support all of these tools, it is usual to instead define and use subsets for different clients or groups of clients.

  • Page 29: Audio (Axis 282A Only)

    The AXIS 282A can transmit audio to other clients using an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients by attaching a speaker. The Setup page for the AXIS 282A has an additional menu item called Audio, that allows different audio configurations to be set up, e.g.

  • Page 30: Audio Input

    Audio from an external microphone or a line source can be connected to the MIC pin of the AXIS 282A. The audio source can be set to Microphone or Line. If you are using a microphone, the input sensitivity can be set to High or Low. See Technical Specifications, on page 55 for the exact maximum levels.

  • Page 31: Audio Output

    If there are problems with the sound input being too low or high, it is possible to adjust the input gain for the microphone attached to the AXIS 282A. Audio Output If the sound from the speaker is too low or high it is possible to adjust the output gain for the active speaker attached to the AXIS 282A.
  • Page 32 AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Audio (AXIS 282A only) When the incoming sound is louder than the threshold, it will pass without any changes. When lower than the threshold, the incoming sound will be reduced by a certain attenuation factor. The threshold value should be set higher than the background noise, but lower than the useful audio.
