Note that you must enable your application by following the Enable link. If there is already an older application

movement in specific areas. Each motion detection window has a set of profile sliders for making individual

DHCP should only be enabled if you know which IP address the AXIS 2420 will get from the DHCP server,
or if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS 2420 by
name. If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default
settings (see page 30) and then perform the installation again (see page 12).
