Uploading Pre and/or Post Alarm Images to a Remote FTP server

The AXIS 2100 is an ideal solution for light indoor surveillance applications. By connecting your chosen external alarm devices to the I/O connector, you can quickly configure the product to upload single images or pre/post alarm image sequences to an FTP server when a time or alarm/input-based event occurs.

Using the available Wizards, you organize the times and frequency at which images are taken and uploaded to the target FTP server. You can optionally arrange to send the whole alarm buffer via e-mail.

Installation and Configuration Overview

You configure the AXIS 2100 to upload Pre and/or Post Alarm images, as follows:

1.Connect the AXIS 2100 to your local network. Refer to Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 20.

2.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 TCP/IP Network settings - selecting network as your chosen method of connection in the Modem or Network dialog. Refer to Configuring Your Camera, on page 35.

3.Continue the configuration of your product using the Application Wizard to define the target FTP server and define your preferred 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.

4.Having completed the Wizard, you should now verify the configuration by triggering the defined alarm event and then viewing the uploaded images in your browser.

Note: You can refine your application using the Web-based Administration Tools.
