AXIS 240Q - Video Streams

Note that these AMC toolbar functions can also be accessed by right-clicking in the image.

For information on using Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls,

please see page 27.

Video Streams

The Live View page in the AXIS 240Q provides access to Motion JPEG video streams, as

well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access these video

streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.

Motion JPEG

This format uses standard JPEG still images in 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

provides excellent image quality and access to each and every

individual image contained in the stream. The level of image compression may need to be

increased if bandwidth consumption is a problem.

Note also that multiple clients a

ccessing Motion JPEG streams can use different image

settings.

The AXIS Media Control (AMC)

The recommended method of accessing live video (Motion JPEG) from the AXIS 240Q is to

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

ActiveX component is automatically installed on first use, after which it can be configured

by opening the AMC Control Panel applet from the Windows Control Panel. Alternatively,

right-click the video image in Internet Explorer.

The AMC viewer toolbar (AXIS Media

Control) is available in Microsoft Internet

Explorer only and displays the following buttons:

The Pl

ay/Stop buttons start and stop the live video stream.

The Snapshot b

utton takes a snapshot of the currently displayed image. The

Snapshot function and the target directory for saving snapshots can be

configured

from AMC (AXIS Media Control), which is available from the Windows Control

Panel (Internet Explorer only).

Click the View Full

Screen button and the video image will fill the entire screen

area. No other windows will be visible. Press Esc

(Escape) on your keyboard to

cancel full screen view.
