17 AXIS 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V - Video Streams
The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent
image quality and access to each and every individual image contained in the stream. The
recommended method of accessing Motion JPEG live video from the AXIS
216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V is to use the AXIS Media Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet
Explorer in Windows.
Note also that multiple clients accessing Motion JPEG streams can use different image
settings.
Alternative methods of accessing the video stream
Video/images from the AXIS 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V can also be accessed in the
following ways:
• Motion JPEG server push (if supported by the client, e.g. Mozilla/Firefox). This option
maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data as and when
required, for as long as required.
• Still JPEG images in a browser. Enter e.g. the path:
http:///axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320x240
• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 viewing client to be
installed. The paths that can be used are listed below in the order of preference.
• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu:///mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp:///mpeg4/media.amp
• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp:///mpeg4/media.amp
• Multicast: axrtpm:///mpeg4/media.amp
