Uploading Pre/Post Alarm Images to Your Internet Service Provider
Perfect as a remote imaging and light surveillance tool, the AXIS 2100 can not only transmit live
video streams over a standard Dial-up connection, but can also be connected to a wide variety of
standard external alarm devices. It can be quickly configured for uploading single images,
or
pre/post alarm image sequences, to a
Public
or
Private
ISP when a time or alarm-based event
occurs.
Using the available Wizards, you set the times and the frequency at which images are taken and
uploaded to your ISP. You can also arrange for e-mail alerts containing the alarm image buffer and
a link to the camera.
