Installing the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer (Client)
The first time the AXIS 250S is accessed from a browser, the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer will
automatically be installed. This component is required for viewing the video stream in the
browser. Simply accept the license agreement displayed in the setup window and the client
will install.
Important!
After the installation has completed restart
your computer, if required.
After the client is installed, there will be a
new icon in the Windows Control Panel.
Clicking on this icon opens the properties
tool for the client. There are now a number
of settings that can be made. These are:
Network Connection Timeout - This value
is the maximum length of time in seconds
that the client will attempt to connect to
the server, before displaying an error
message. The default setting is 15 seconds.
Set the AXIS MPEG-2 decoder as the
default viewing codec - selecting this
option means that the AXIS MPEG-2
Viewer client will always be used to view
MPEG-2 video streams. Note that installing other decoders at a later date may override this
setting.
• The AXIS 250S is supplied with three (3) licenses for the AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer. Installing more than 3
instances of the viewer contravenes the terms of the license agreement and is prohibited. To pur-
chase further licenses, please contact your Axis reseller.
• To allow the installation of the AXIS 250S MPEG-2 Viewer, set your browser to allow the installation
of signed ActiveX controls. This is the default setting in Internet Explorer.
• The AXIS MPEG-2 Viewer can be uninstalled from “Add/Remove programs” in the Windows Control
Panel.
