Configuring Your Camera
Important!
Before You Begin
Having chosen the type of application you want to develop and having installed the
product accordingly, your AXIS 2120 will now be attached directly to a local area network,
or connected to a PC using the supplied Null Modem Cable. You are now ready to proceed
with the unit’s configuration.
This section describes how to use the Wizards for configuring and integrating the AXIS
2120 into your application environment, and provides a general overview of the
Web-based Administration Tools.
Configuration Using the Wizards
For speedy development of your application, the AXIS 2120 supports two easy-to-use
Wizards that are recommended for both novice and advanced users alike. Depending upon
your choice of application, the Installation Wizard and the Application Wizard can be run
either consecutively, or independently of one another.
