Live video from the Axis video server can be added to your own web page.

Select the preferred video format from the Sele

ct video format drop down list. The

available options are Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 using AMC, and MPEG-4 using QuickTime. If

MPEG-4 using AMC is set as the video format, note that a separate MPEG-4 license is

required for each viewer.

The Motion JPEG selection has addi

tional settings for Image Type, Image size and

Optional settings for configuring the video stream to suit your web page. Click Update

when satisfied.

The video server then generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this

code and p

aste it into your own web page code.
