Physical Description

the Quick Installation Guide, this section provides a useful reference when installing the product.
Front Panel
Caution!
Although the AXIS 2120 Network Camera is supplied with a varifocal DC auto-Iris lens that automati-
cally regulates the amount of light into the camera, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or halogen
light may damage the CCD. Consequently, Axis recommends extreme caution when installing your
product in strong sunlight, as failure to do so may invalidate your product warranty.
Control Button
Located to the left of the
lens assembly; this button
is recessed within the
product casing. Using a
suitably pointed object,
press this button to
restore the factory default
settings as described in
Reinstating the Factory
Default Settings, on page
33; and to enable the
Focus Assistant, as
described in Adjusting the
Camera Focus, on page 44.
Lens Assembly
Includes a wide
angle lens with
rotational focus
control.
The supplied lens is
removable and can
be replaced with
any standard C/CS-
mounted lens.
Serial Number
Located on the underside label of the
AXIS 2120, the serial number is identical
to the Ethernet address of the unit.
Status Indicator
Used in conjunction with the Focus Assistant, this multi-colored indicator can be used as a
local focusing aid (for further details please refer to Adjusting the Camera Focus, on page 44).
However, under normal conditions this indicator defines the operational status of the camera,
as described below:
• green - the indicator flashes briefly and momentarily displays orange during the start-up
and self-test routines; the indicator then displays green to indicate a healthy unit status.
• red - the indicator will display red only if a problem with the AXIS 2120 has occurred.
Refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.
Note: The Status Indicator also displays orange when setting the factory default settings, as
described in Reinstating the Factory Default Settings, on page 33.
