Windows Media Server

Windows Media Server

depending on the Capture Interface used, there are various configuration options for the Windows Media Server.

See WMV Streaming configuration options per interface

Access Streaming Video

The Windows Media Server is configured per Capture Device.

The video server has to run on a different port than the web server.

Use http://localhost:8080/currentX.asx to load the video stream.
X is the camera number

This will redirect to mms://localhost:8090 where the video server is running.

If the video server is off, current.asx will redirect to file offline.wmv in AbelCams img folder. If it cannot be found there, it will take this file from www.abelcam.com¹⁾

See how to configure Access from an External Server
