Action Buttons
The Show manual trigger button option lets you manually trigger and stop an event from the Live View
page. See Event Config, on page 20.
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, or
when otherwise not using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view the video stream. AMC (an ActiveX control)
for Internet Explorer provides its own snapshot button.

HTML Examples
You can add live video from the AXIS 209FD to your own web site. The camera can transmit a Motion
JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an administrator can restrict this to fewer. If
MPEG-4 is set as video format, multicasting is used and the audio and video stream is available for 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.
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.
The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image type, Image size and other Optional settings to
configure the video stream to suit your web page.
Click Update once satisfied.
The camera generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and paste it into your
own web page code.
External Video
An external video source is a source originating from some other Axis device on the network. The images
from these sources can be displayed just as if they were produced by the AXIS 209FD.
The External Video Source List shows all of the external video sources currently configured. The
information displayed is the source’s name and the path to the video stream. Up to 20 external video
sources can be configured.
