Features and Benefits

Easy to Use - The AXIS 2100 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 the Axis ActiveX component for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or above. If your computer does not allow you to use ActiveX components, use the Java Applet instead. The AXIS 2100 has complete plug-and-picture functionality - all you need do is assign a valid IP address.

Simple Installation - Connecting directly to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networks, the AXIS 2100 is a standalone digital camera that will also connect to your local Internet Service Provider using an external modem. Its Web-based interface features several user-sensitive Wizards that simplify the installation process, and provide for a seamless and automated integration into your networking and application environments.

Built-in Support for the AXIS 2191 Audio Module - The AXIS 2100 can be used directly with this add-on component, which enables live audio on your camera. The AXIS 2191 is supplied separately.

Open Standards Environment - Supporting TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other protocols, the AXIS 2100 can be used in mixed environments, such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. Integrates easily into other WWW/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.

Simple Administration - Configuration and management via the product’s own Web-based Administration Tools. Image control, time stamping and text overlays are all accessible from the tools.

Standard Image Format - The AXIS 2100 delivers complete, high-quality pictures in standard JPEG format, which can be viewed using any standard browser.

High Compression and Sensitivity - The fully configurable compression features afforded by the AXIS ARTPEC chip allow a normal quality image to be compressed to around 8 kbytes. Actual file sizes vary according to lighting conditions; although the product works well even in dark environments - right down to 3 lux.

Standard Lens - Standard CS wide-angle lens with rotational focus control. A C-lens can also be used together with a CS-C adaptor. Any other lens conforming to the same standard can also be used.

External Device Connection - Can be used with IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays.
