Uploading Pre/Post Alarm Images to Your Internet Service Provider
Perfect as a remote imaging tool, the AXIS 2120 not only transmits live video streams over
a standard Dial-up connection, but also supports in-image motion detection and the
connection of a wide variety of standard external alarm devices.
Using the Application Wizard, the AXIS 2120 is quickly configured for up loading single
or pre/post alarm images to an ISP under alarm conditions. You define the times and the
frequency at which images are taken and uploaded to the ISP, and optionally arrange for
e-mail alerts containing single images, or Web references to image streams stored with
your ISP.
