AXIS M10 Series - Video Streams

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 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 to access the AMC window.

Note:

AXIS M1011 and AXIS M1011-W do not support audio.

AXIS M1054 does not support MPEG-4.

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images for the video stream. These images are then displayed and updated at a rate

sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion.

The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every

image contained in the stream. The recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the network camera is to

use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows.

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 MPEG-4/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 MPEG-4/H.264 stream using the paths above, although Axis does

not guarantee this.

• <ip> = IP address
