Features and Benefits
Easy to Use -
The AXIS 2100 is completely independent of any other server and requires no other
special hardware or software such as PC frame grabber cards or viewing software. All you need is
Netscape Navigator 4.x or above. Alternatively, you can use the Axis ActiveX component for
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x or above. If your computer does not allow you to use ActiveX
components, use the Java Applet instead. The AXIS 2100 has complete plug-and-picture
functionality - all you need do is assign a valid IP address.
Simple Installation -
Connecting directly to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networks, the AXIS 2100
is a standalone digital camera that will also connect to your local Internet Service Provider using an
external modem. Its Web-based interface features several user-sensitive Wizards that simplify the
installation process, and provide for a seamless and automated integration into your networking
and application environments.
Open Standards Environment -
Supporting TCP/IP, SMTP e-mail, HTTP and other
protocols, the AXIS 2100 can be used in mixed environments, such as Windows, UNIX,
Macintosh and OS/2. Integrates easily into other WWW/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.
Simple Administration -
Configuration and management via the product’s own Web-based
Administration Tools. Image control, time stamping and text overlays are all accessible from the
tools.
Standard Image Format -
The AXIS 2100 delivers complete, high-quality pictures in standard
JPEG format, which can be viewed using any standard browser.
High Compression and Sensitivity -
The fully configurable compression features afforded by
the AXIS ARTPEC chip allow a normal quality image to be compressed to around 8 kbytes. Actual
file sizes vary according to lighting conditions; although the product works well even in dark
environments - right down to 3 lux.
Standard Lens -
Standard CS wide-angle lens with rotational focus control. A C-lens can also be
used together with a CS-C adaptor. Any other lens conforming to the same standard can also be
used.
External Device Connection -
Can be used with IR-sensors, switches and alarm relays.
