Action Buttons
The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually start and stop an event from the Live
View page. See Event configuration, on page 32. The snapshot button allows you to take a
snapshot of the video stream and save it to a computer.
Output Buttons
These buttons are used to control the outputs on the Axis video server and thus the
equipment connected to them, such as switching a light on or off:
• The Pulse button activates the port for a defined period
• Active/Inactive displays two buttons, one for each action (on/off)
Default Video Format
Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show
video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to
temporarily change the format.
Default Viewer
Select from the drop-down list the viewer you wish to use for your web browser. Please see
the online help for more information.
Viewer Settings
Show viewer toolbar - Check this to display the viewer’s own toolbar under the image.
Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation - By checking/unchecking this box, the
administrator can enable or disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included with
AMC. This is used to prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses
can be purchased from your Axis dealer.
Show crosshair in PTZ joystick mode - This will enable the display of a crosshair in the
video image when the PTZ mode is set to joystick.
Use PTZ joystick mode as default - Enabling this sets the PTZ mode to joystick. The mode
can be changed temporarily on the PTZ Control Panel, but will default to joystick if this is
selected.
Enable recording button for MPEG-4 - Enabling this button allows the user to start an
MPEG-4 recording directly from the Live View page.
HTML Examples
Live video from the Axis video server can be added to your own web page.
Select the preferred Video Format from the drop down list. The available options are
Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime. If MPEG-4 using AMC is
set as the video format, note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each viewer.
