Uploading Pre and/or Post Alarm Images to a Remote FTP server

The AXIS 2120 is an ideal solution for a wide variety of remote monitoring applications. By creating windows for in-image motion detection, or by connecting an external alarm device to the I/O connector, you can quickly configure the product to upload single images, or send pre/post alarm image sequences to an FTP server when a time or alarm-based event occurs.

Using the available Wizards, you organize the times and frequency at which images are taken and uploaded to the target FTP server, and optionally arrange for e-mail alerts containing single images, or Web references to recorded image sequences.

Installation and Configuration Overview

Configure the AXIS 2120 to upload Pre and/or Post Alarm images as follows:

1.Connect the AXIS 2120 to your local network. Refer to Installing Your Camera on a Network on page 12.

2.Open the product Home Page in your browser and start the Installation Wizard. Complete the Wizard to establish the standard Security, Date and Time, Image General Layout and TCP/IP Network settings - selecting network as your chosen method of connection in the Modem or Network dialog. Refer to Configuring Your Camera on page 21.

3.Continue the configuration of your product using the Application Wizard to define the target FTP server and define your preferred mode of operation - choosing Alarm Mode to upload single images, or pre/post alarm image sequences, when a defined alarm or time-based event occurs.

4.Having completed the Wizard, you should now verify the configuration by triggering the defined alarm event and then viewing the uploaded images in your browser.

Note: For full details on how to create and use motion detection windows, see Motion Detection on page 26.
