Image Updating - The on-board AXIS ETRAX 100 processor combined with the revolutionary AXIS ARTPEC-1 Real Time Picture Encoder provides an amazing power-synergy to deliver up to 25/30 frames/second (PAL/NTSC) over 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks.

High Compression - The AXIS ARTPEC chip provides efficient compression of JPEG images and allows the variable compression ratio to be defined by the user.

External Device Connection - Supporting an auxiliary Input/Output Connector, you can connect your AXIS 2120 to a variety of external devices; such as, IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays. In combination with the programmable alarming facilities, you can quickly develop a variety of security applications that are triggered on time or alarm-based events.

Modem Support - The Point to Point Protocol (PPP) support allows you to use your AXIS 2120 remotely over a serial link, just as if it were located on your local network. After initially setting up the unit using a local connection to a computer, you can then configure the unit for remote use over an external modem.

ISP Support - Arrange for image files to be uploaded to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and you can provide the global Internet community with browser access to your live images. Select any supported ISP from the Web-based Wizards, or choose your own ISP as an imaging repository for your images.

Security - The AXIS 2120 includes a self-contained Web server, which means that your digital images can be protected just like any other Internet host. Data protection is normally implemented by your Network Administrator using the unit’s security setings in combination with an organization’s Internet firewall. The Administrator can subsequently restrict image access to specific individuals, groups of user, company staff... or make them available to the whole Internet community.

Linux Operating System - The AXIS 2120 includes modified versions of the Boa Web server, and Linux operating system - both of which are freely distributed under the GNU General Public License, as published by the Free Software Foundation. This software provides a stable and reliable platform for open-source development of the product.

In accordance with the GNU General Public License, Axis has published the kernel for this product at http://developer.axis.com/.

AXIS Technology - Axis renowned chipset technology is built upon an open architechture that is streamlined to provide device connectivity independent of any file server. The AXIS 2120 is driven by a powerful AXIS ETRAX 32-bit RISC processor and includes the industry's first dedicated digital video remote monitoring compression chip - the AXIS ARTPEC-1.
