AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Using the Video Server

Note: •To view streaming video in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow

the AXIS Media Control (AMC) to be installed on your computer. AMC also provides an

MPEG-4 decoder for viewing MPEG-4 video streams. This decoder is installed the first time

an MPEG-4 video stream is accessed. Please note that the product administrator may have

disabled the installation of the decoder, as a license is required for each instance.

•If your computer restricts the use of additional software components, the AXIS 282/AXIS

282A can be configured to use a Java applet for updating JPEG images. Please see the

online help for more information.
