Alternative Methods Of Accessing The Video Stream - Axis Q6032-E User Manual

AXIS Media Control (AMC)
AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows is the
recommended method of accessing live video from the network camera.
The AMC Control Panel can be used to configure various video settings.
Please see the AXIS Media Control User's Manual for more information.
The AMC Control Panel is automatically installed on first use, after which it
can be configured. Open the AMC Control Panel from:
• Windows Control Panel (from the Start menu)
• Alternatively, right-click the video image in Internet Explorer and
click Settings to access the AMC window.

Alternative methods of accessing the video stream

You can also access video/images from the network camera in the
following ways:
• Motion JPEG server push (if supported by the client, Firefox, for example). This option maintains an open HTTP con-
nection to the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required.
• Still JPEG images in a browser. Enter the path - http://<ip>/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi
• Windows Media Player. This requires AXIS Media Control and the H.264 decoder to be installed. The paths that can be
used are listed below in the order of preference:
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
To access the video stream from QuickTime™ the following paths can be used:
•
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.3gp
Notes:
• The network camera supports QuickTime 6.5.1 and later
• QuickTime adds latency to the video stream (up to 3 seconds)
• It may be possible to use other players to view the H.264 stream using the paths above, although Axis does not
guarantee this
