AXIS 212 PTZ/-V - Live View Config

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.

Viewer Settings

Show viewer toolbar - Check this box to display the viewer toolbar under the image in your browser. The toolbar provides

various controls for pausing the video stream, and switching to full screen mode.

Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation - By checking/unchecking this box, the administrator can enable or disable the

installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included with AMC. This is used to prevent the installation of unlicensed copies. Further

decoder licenses can be purchased from your Axis dealer.

Show crosshair in PTZ joystick mode - This cross indicates the center of the image when viewing the video stream in PTZ

joystick mode.

Use PTZ joystick mode as default - Enabling this sets the PTZ mode to joystick. The mode can be changed temporarily on the

PTZ Control Panel, but will default to joystick if this is selected.

Enable recording button - Enabling this button allows the user to start a recording directly from the Live View page. The

recording is saved in the folder specified in the Recording tab in the AMC Control Applet. Note that this button is only

available when viewing with AMC.

Action Buttons

Show manual trigger button - When displayed on the Live View page, clicking these buttons (On and Off) manually starts

and stops all events that are configured to trigger in this way.

Show snapshot button - Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a Motion JPEG snapshot from the

video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers other than Internet Explorer (IE), or

when otherwise not using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view the video stream. AMC provides its own snapshot button.
