Action Buttons
These buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the Live View page.
The snapshot button allows you to take a snapshot of the video stream and save it to a
computer.
Output Buttons
These buttons are used to control the outputs on the AXIS 231D+/232D+ and thus the
equipment connected to them, e.g. to switch a light on or off:
• The Pulse button activates the port for a defined period
• Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)
Default Video Format
Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show
video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to
temporarily change the format.
When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with
Internet Explorer.
Note:
It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default and vice versa.
Default Viewer
From the drop-down lists, select the default method for viewing video images for your
browser. The camera will attempt to show the video images in the selected video format
and viewer. If this is not possible, the camera will override the settings and select the best
available combination.
