Action Buttons
These buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the Live View page.
See Event Configuration, on page 28.
Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the
video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers
other than Internet Explorer (IE), or when otherwise not using ActiveX to view the video
stream. The ActiveX viewing component (AXIS Media Control) for IE provides its own
snapshot button.
Output Buttons
These buttons can then be used to manually activate the output from the Live View page,
e.g. to switch a light on and off. There are 2 options for how the output is activated:
• The Pulse button activates the output for a defined period
• Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)
Default Viewer for your Browser
Select the appropriate radio button to define the method for viewing moving images,
depending on your browser and settings.
Please see the online help for more information.
HTML Examples
You can add live video from the AXIS 210/211 to your own web site. The camera can send
a Motion-JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator
can restrict this to fewer.
Enter the Image Type, Image size and other settings to suit your Web page and click
Update. The AXIS 210/211 then generates the required source code for your configuration.
Copy this code and paste it into your own Web page code.
External Video
The AXIS 210/211 can also display images from other Axis network cameras and video
servers. These are known as External Video sources. Each external video source is
available from the drop-down list on the Live View page.
