Choosing Your Application

The AXIS 2110 can be used in a wide variety of applications. Installing directly onto an Ethernet network or via a V.90-compatible modem, the product is completely independent and requires no additional software on your viewing desktop. Crisp live images are available directly in your browser as soon as the product is installed, and your application can be further developed using the camera’s easy-to-use Wizards or Administration Tools.

Not to be regarded as a comprehensive catalog of possible applications, this section describes several typical applications and includes reference information that will help you prepare for the installation and configuration of the unit.

Networking Applications

If you have access to a local Ethernet connection at your chosen point of installation, you only need to plug the AXIS 2110 onto your LAN/WAN and set the IP Address to instantly view the images from any desktop on your network.

However, the AXIS 2110 offers more than just access to live video images. By using the available Wizards to guide you through the process, you can configure the camera for any number of exciting applications, including:

•Viewing images in a custom-designed Web page.

•Uploading images to a remote FTP server on a LAN/WAN network to accommodate a large viewing audience, where a high volume of Web page hits is anticipated.

•Connecting an external alarm device to the AXIS 2110 and uploading pre and/or post alarm images to a target FTP server when an alarm or time-based event occurs; and optionally, send- ing e-mail messages containing a single image and a link to the camera.

Note: Once the AXIS 2110 is physically connected and installed on your network, you can then access live video from any browser on your network - with no further configuration whatsoever. Whether you are an advanced or novice user, you should use the Wizards - available from the camera’s Home Page - to configure your application. Advanced users can optionally use the Web-based Administration Tools to refine their application once the basic configuration has been established using the Wizards.
