10 AXIS 214 PTZ - Accessing the camera
Notes:
• The layout of the Live View page in the AXIS 214 PTZ may have been customized to meet the specific requirements of
the application. Consequently, many of the examples and functions in this section may differ from those displayed in
your Live View page.
• If the AXIS 214 PTZ is to be placed upright on a desktop, the image must be rotated. Go to Setup > Video & Image and
set Rotate image to 180 degrees.
• To view streaming video with AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to
allow the to be installed on your computer. The first time an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed, AMC also installs an
MPEG-4 decoder for viewing the video stream. As a license is required for each instance of the decoder, the product
administrator may have disabled the installation. If your workstation restricts the use of additional software
components, the camera can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. See the online help for
more information.
Accessing the camera from the Internet
Once installed, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera
from the Internet you must configure your router/firewall to allow incoming data traffic.
For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the
documentation for your router/firewall for further instructions.
