You can add live video from the cameras to your own web site. The camera can transmit a
Motion JPEG or unicast MPEG-4 stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although
an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If multicast MPEG-4 is used, the video stream
will be available to an unlimited number of viewers connected to the parts of the network
where multicast is enabled. Please note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each
viewer.
Enter the Video Format, Image type, Image size and other settings to suit your Web page
and click Update. The camera then generates the required source code for your
configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your own Web page code.
External Video
The cameras can also display video images from other Axis network cameras and video
servers, directly on the Live View page. These are known as External Video sources. These
external video sources are available from the drop-down list on the Live View page.
Click the Add button to open the External Video Source Setup dialog, which is used to
make all the necessary settings. Enter the IP address or host name of the external video
source you wish to add. Depending on the external source, then select either MPEG-2,
MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG as the type of video stream you want to receive.
