EyeGet - the JPEG Script
When using the AXIS 240 over the Internet, we recommend that it is accessed over an assisting web server and not directly. This is because the AXIS 240 has limited capacity for handling the extra amount of buffering that the Internet may generate.

The program is called EyeGet and is available in both Windows and UNIX versions. You can download EyeGet free of charge from http://www.axis.com/products/axis_neteye_200/scripts.shtml
