AXIS 214 PTZ - Accessing the camera

Viewer controls

The default viewer to use for displaying moving images is selected from Setup >> Live

View Config >> Layout.

The AMC viewer toolbar is available in Microsoft Internet Explorer only. See AXIS

Media Control, on page 17 for more information. The AMC viewer toolbar displays

the following buttons:

The Play/Stop buttons start and stop the live video stream.

The Snapshot button 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 the

computer keyboard to cancel full screen view.

Click the Speaker and Microphone buttons to switch the sound off and on for

the speaker and microphone, respectively.

Use the slider to control the volume on the speaker and

microphone. The volume can be set between 0 and 100.

When using Half-duplex mode this button toggles between allowing you to

speak and listen. The first icon indicates that you can talk and the speaker

attached to the camera will play your voice. The second indicates that you will

hear audio from the camera, but no audio will be sent to web clients. When in

simplex talk mode, the icon toggles between allowing you to speak and is dimmed

when you do not want other clients to receive any audio.

Server push (not available for Microsoft Internet Explorer)
With this method, the AXIS 214 PTZ maintains and controls an open HTTP connection to

the browser and sends data as and when required, for as long as required.

QuickTime
For use with MPEG-4 only. Note that in the settings for Video & Image > Advanced >

MPEG-4, the Video object type must be set to Simple.

Java applet
This alternative uses a Java applet to update the images in the browser. No download is

required. Note that when this alternative is selected, external video sources will not be

available on the live view page, and audio will be mono-directional only (to the client

only).
