• AMC(ActiveX)- This is the best choice for fast image updating in Internet
Explorer, but might not be possible on computers that have restriction on the
installation of additional software.
• QuickTime - For use with MPEG-4 only, select this to use the QuickTime plug-in
for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
• Java ap plet - This alternative uses a Java applet to update the images in the
browser.
• Still Image - Displays still images only. Hit the Refresh button in your browser to
view a new image.
When using any other browser than Internet Explorer for Windows, select the appropriate
method from the drop-down list for viewing images. The available options are similar to
Internet Explorer except for Server Push. With this method, the camera maintains and
controls an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when required for
as long as required. Please see the online help for more information.
Viewer settings
Checking the Show viewer toolbar option displays the viewer toolbar under the video
stream in your browser.
By checking the Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation box, it is also possible for the
Administrator to enable or disable the installation of the MPEG-4 decoder. This is used to
prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further decoder licenses can be purchased
from your Axis dealer. See also AXIS Media Control, on page 24.
Check the record button to record the current video stream. The location where the image
file is saved can be specified using the AMC Control Panel.
Action Buttons
The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the
Live View page. See Event Configuration, on page 36.
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 for Windows, or when otherwise not using AXIS Media
Control (AMC) to view the video stream. AMC for Internet Explorer provides its own
snapshot button.
