Uploading Pre and/or Post Alarm Images to a Remote FTP server
The AXIS 2100 is an ideal solution for light indoor surveillance applications. By connecting your
chosen external alarm devices to the I/O connector, you can quickly configure the product to
upload single images or pre/post alarm image sequences to an FTP server when a time or
alarm/input-based event occurs.
Using the available Wizards, you organize the times and frequency at which images are taken and
uploaded to the target FTP server. You can optionally arrange to send the whole alarm buffer via
e-mail.
Installation and Configuration Overview
You configure the AXIS 2100 to upload Pre and/or Post Alarm images, as follows:
