Alternative Methods Of Accessing The Video Stream - Axis M3014 User Manual

AXIS Media Control (AMC)
AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft 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 and audio
settings. Please see the AMC user manual 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 to access the AMC window.
Note:
AXIS M3014 does not support audio or MPEG-4.

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 AMC 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?videocodec=<codec>
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=<codec>
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=<codec>
• Multicast: axrtpm://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=<codec>
To access the video stream from QuickTime™ the following paths can be used:
•
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=<codec>
• rtsp://<ip>/axis-media/media.3gp?videocodec=<codec>
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.
• <ip> = IP address
• <codec> = h264. The default codec is H.264.
