AXIS 2120 User’s Manual

Uploading Pre/Post Alarm Images to Your Internet Service Provider

Perfect as a remote imaging tool, the AXIS 2120 not only transmits live video streams over a standard Dial-up connection, but also supports in-image motion detection and the connection of a wide variety of standard external alarm devices.

Using the Application Wizard, the AXIS 2120 is quickly configured for uploading single or pre/post alarm images to an ISP under alarm conditions. You define the times and the frequency at which images are taken and uploaded to the ISP, and optionally arrange for e-mail alerts containing single images, or Web references to image streams stored with your ISP.

Installation and Configuration Overview

Configure the AXIS 2120 to upload images to an Internet Service Provider in Alarm Mode, as follows:

1.Connect the AXIS 2120 to the network if available. Otherwise, use the supplied Null Modem Cable. Connect a computer and initiate a dial-up connection to the AXIS 2120. For this and general information on the dial-up connection, refer to Installing Your Camera to a Modem on page 15.

2.Create a dedicated dial-up connection.

3.Refine the dial-up parameters.

4.Initiate the dial-up connection.

5.Referring to Configuring Your Camera on page 21, 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 Modem settings - selecting modem as your chosen method of connection.

6.Continue the configuration using the Application Wizard to define your preferred ISP and mode of operation:

choose Alarm Mode to upload single images, or upload pre/post alarm image sequences when in-image motion is detected or when a defined alarm or time based event occurs. For information on how to create and use motion detection windows, see Motion Detection on page 26.

7.Disconnect the AXIS 2120 from the network or Null Modem Cable and connect it directly to the modem.

8.The application setup is complete. You should now verify the configuration by triggering the defined alarm event and then viewing the resultant images uploaded to your ISP.

Note: Except for when the AXIS 2120 is dialing-out, you can refine or amend the product configuration at any time using a remote dial-up connection or a local computer connected via the supplied Null Modem Cable.
