be purchased from your Axis dealer.

You can add live video from the AXIS 216FD/FD-V to your own web site. The camera can
transmit a Motion JPEG stream to up to 20 simultaneous connections, although an
administrator can restrict this to fewer. If MPEG-4 is set as video format, multicasting is
used and the video stream will be available for an unlimited number of viewers connected
to the parts of the network where multicast is enabled. Please note that a separate MPEG-4
license is required for each viewer.
Select the preferred
Video Format
from the drop down list. The available options are
Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime.
The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for
Image Type
,
Image size
and other
optional settings to configure the video stream to suit your Web page.
