Uploading Pre/Post Alarm Images to Your Internet Service Provider

Perfect as a remote imaging and light surveillance tool, the AXIS 2100 can not only transmit live video streams over a standard Dial-up connection, but can also be connected to a wide variety of standard external alarm devices. It can be quickly configured for uploading single images, or pre/post alarm image sequences, to a Public or Private ISP when a time or alarm-based event occurs.

Using the available Wizards, you set the times and the frequency at which images are taken and uploaded to your ISP. You can also arrange for e-mail alerts containing the alarm image buffer and a link to the camera.

Installation and Configuration Overview

Configure the AXIS 2100 to upload images to an Internet Service Provider in Alarm Mode as follows:

1.Connect the AXIS 2100 to the network if available. Otherwise, use the supplied Null Modem Cable.

2.Install the camera as a modem. For this and general information on the Dial-up connection, refer to Using Your Camera with a Modem, on page 14.

3.Refine the Dial-up parameters.

4.Initiate the Dial-up connection.

5.Referring to Configuring Your Camera, on page 20, open the 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 - choosing Alarm Mode to upload single images, or pre/post alarm image sequences, when a defined alarm or time based event occurs.

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

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