Automatic Picture Updates
The AXIS 240 supports five methods for automatic picture updates,
namely:
Server push
Java image feed
Pan/Tilt Java Control
Refresh image feed
Multiple refresh image feed
These are available from links on the AXIS 240 Home Page.
Server Push
The Server push function pushes new snapshots to your Web browser
continuously.
The frame rate depends on how fast the AXIS 240 can deliver the
snapshot data over the available network bandwidth. Therefore, you
cannot adjust the frequency of the Server push snapshots within your
Web browser.
In order to limit the memory overhead that this facility demands, a
maximum number of 5 clients can simultaneously activate a Server
push link to the same camera. Once this client threshold has been
exceeded, a single snapshot image is produced for all additional clients
that are trying to activate the link.
Note:
❏ The Server push function is currently supported by Netscape
Navigator only. However, you can download an ActiveX
component from the Axis camera server web site that will provide
the same function.
Java Image Feed
This function is implemented within a Java applet, CamImg, that can
be started from anywhere on the network. The refresh rate is
programmable.
