15AXIS 223M - Video StreamsUnicasting should be used for video-on-demand broadcasting, so that there is no videotraffic on the network until a client connects and requests the stream. However, as moreand more unicast clients connect, the traffic on the network will increase and may causecongestion. Although there is a maximum of 20 unicast viewers, note that all multicastusers combined count as 1 unicast viewer.RTP/RTSPThis unicast method is RTP tunneled over RTSP. This can be used to exploit the fact that itis relatively simple to configure firewalls to allow RTSP traffic.RTP/RTSP/HTTP or RTP/RTSP/HTTPSThese two methods can also be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are commonlyconfigured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled.The AXIS Media ControlThe recommended method of accessing live video from the AXIS 223M is to use the AXISMedia Control (AMC) in Microsoft Internet Explorer in Windows. This ActiveX componentis automatically installed on first use, after which it can be configured by opening the AMCControl Panel applet from the Windows Control Panel. Alternatively, right-click the videoimage.Other methods of accessing the video streamVideo/images from the AXIS 223M can also be accessed in the following ways:• If supported by the client, the AXIS 223M can use Motion JPEG server push to displayvideo. This option maintains an open HTTP connection to the browser and sends data asand when required, for as long as required.• As single JPEG images in a browser. Enter (e.g.) the path:http:///axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?resolution=320x240• Windows Media Player. This requires AMC and the MPEG-4 decoder to be installed. Thepaths that can be used are listed below in the order of preference.• Unicast via RTP: axrtpu:///mpeg4/media.amp• Unicast via RTSP: axrtsp:///mpeg4/media.amp• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTP: axrtsphttp:///mpeg4/media.amp• Unicast via RTSP, tunneled via HTTPS: axrtsphttps:///mpeg4/media.amp• Multicast: axrtpm:///mpeg4/media.ampNote: = IP address.
