Installation and Configuration Overview
Configure the AXIS 2120 to upload images to an Internet Service Provider, as follows:
Note: Except for when the AXIS 2120 is dialing-out, you can refine or amend the product configuration
at any time using a remote dial-up connection or a local computer connected via the supplied
Null Modem Cable.
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 uploading 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.
1. Connect the AXIS 2120 to the network if available. Otherwise, use the supplied Null Modem Cable. Connect a computer
and initiate a dial-up connection to the camera. For this and general information on the dial-up connection, refer to
Installing Your Camera to a Modem on page 19.
2. Create a dedicated dial-up connection.
3. Refine the dial-up parameters.
4. Initiate the dial-up connection.
5. Referring to Configuring Your Camera on page 25, open the product 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 Sequential mode to upload an image sequence that is unlimited or restricted between specified time periods
but independent of any alarm event.
7. Disconnect the AXIS 2120 from the network or Null Modem Cable and connect it directly to the modem.
8. The application setup is complete. You should now verify the installation by remotely accessing the images that are now
stored by your ISP.
