Alternative Methods Of Accessing The Video Stream - Axis Q1910 User Manual

AXIS Media Control (AMC)
The recommended method of accessing live video from the network camera
is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Internet Explorer in Windows.
The AMC Control Panel can be used to configure various video and audio
settings. Please see the readme file included in the tool 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

Alternative methods of accessing the video stream

Video/images from the network camera can also be accessed 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 viewing client 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 and audio 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
• For input parameters to media.amp, refer to the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API) specification.
