AXIS 2120 User’s Manual Choosing Your Application

Viewing Images in a Custom-designed Web Page
Often used as an attraction for enhancing a Web site with live images, this type of
application represents the most basic form of network camera configuration. It is ideally
suited for occasionally-visited sites on both large corporate networks and on SOHO
(Small-Office Home-Office) applications, where a small network is installed and
maintained.
If you anticipate a large audience for your images, you should consider configuring your
product to upload images to an FTP server, as described in Sequentially Uploading Images
to a Remote FTP Server on page 32.
Simply install the AXIS 2120 directly on your local Ethernet network and complete the
Installation Wizard to immediately view live video images in your own custom-designed
Web page. The Wizard not only helps you define the image format and personalized
characteristics of your Web page Layout, but also allows you to determine how accessible
the product is over your intranet or Internet network. You decide in just a few simple steps.
Installation and Configuration Overview
Configure your AXIS 2120 for viewing images over a network as follows:
Note: Although custom HTML code is not supported by Axis, advanced users can optionally write their
own individual pages, as described in Appendix F - Custom Web Pages.
1. Connect the AXIS 2120 to your local network. Refer to Installing Your Camera on a Network on page 12.
2. Open the product Home Page in your browser and start the Installation Wizard; complete the Wizard to establish the
standard Security, Date and Time, Image General Layout and TCP/IP Network settings - selecting network as your chosen
method of connection in the Modem or Network dialog. Refer to Configuring Your Camera on page 21.
3. The application setup is now complete. Having completed the Wizard, you should now verify the installation by checking that
you have full access to both the images and the product Web pages in your browser.
