Question

Streaming from AXIS 216 camera to FMS

I am an absolute FMS newbie.  One of our departments at work just bought a pair of AXIS 216 cameras that they want to put up on their website.  I've quickly determined that their default software which streams MPEG-4 has problems.  It won't display in anything less than IE-8 and it's not always a given that will work.  I have two machines at home with IE-8 and the XP one can't view the stream but the Windows 7 one does.

I've done a bit of research and haven't found any instructions out there.  People talk about using the AXIS capture driver and I found the manual here:

http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/capture_driver/files/capture_driver_um.pdf

Is it possible to install this and stream a signal though FMS?  Would we be happy with the results?  Would we lose audio and the ability to control the camera remotely?

Appreciate any and all help.

    Easiest way is to use Axis network camera supporting h.264 codec and use service like www.axis-streaming.com, or make it yourselve with Wowza. I'm not sure if FMS supports pulling the stream directly from camera.

    If you can get the capture card recognized by any encoder like FMLE , meaning if FMLE can take input from the capture card you are talking about then streaming to FMS should be possible. Though i am not sure about quality and other aspects.
