AXIS 2120 User’s Manual

Features and Benefits

Easy to Use - The AXIS 2120 is completely independent of any other server and requires no other special hardware or software such as PC frame grabber cards or viewing software. All you need is Netscape Navigator 4.x or above. Alternatively, you can use Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or above, together with the Axis ActiveX component. If your computer does not allow you to use ActiveX components, use the Java Applet instead. The AXIS 2120 has complete plug-and-picture functionality - all you need do is assign a valid IP address.

Simple Administration - Using a standard browser, you configure and manage the AXIS 2120 directly from its own Web pages. Image control, time stamping and text overlays are all accessible from the tools.

Outdoor Use - The AXIS 2120 has a varifocal DC Iris lens that automatically regulates the amount of light entering the camera, and provides a wide-angle zoom with minimal distortion. With a standard CS-mount, this lens can easily be replaced by any other lens conforming to the same standard. When installed in an appropriate outdoor housing, the AXIS 2120 is the ideal remote monitoring solution for outdoor use.
