Uploading Images to Your Internet Service Provider
Perfect for Web attractions, remote light surveillance and process control applications; the AXIS
2100 can be quickly configured to dial-out from any remote location and transmit live images to
several users, or the whole Internet community - via your preferred Internet Service Provider. Select
any of the Public ISPs supported in the Application Wizard, or alternatively, specify another ISP of
your choosing.
Having established the Dial-up connection for your AXIS 2100, you then continue with your
configuration using the Installation Wizard to develop an active application that uploads live
images to a designated ISP over normal phone lines. Your image files are transmitted as a sequential
stream, or restricted to specified time periods. You set the times and the frequency at which images
are taken and uploaded to the ISP.
1. Connect the AXIS 2100 to the network if available. Otherwise, use the supplied Null Modem Cable.

with a Modem, on page 26.

4. Refine the Dial-up parameters.
5. Initiate the Dial-up connection.

Wizard. Complete the Wizard to establish the standard Security, Date and Time, Image General Layout and Modem settings
