Remote Imaging in a Custom-designed Web Page
The AXIS 2120 can be configured as a standalone application that is remote from any
network. Ideal for remote monitoring, home security, and process control applications, you
can quickly configure the AXIS 2120 for direct connection to a serial modem. Use this
application to view remote images from anywhere - from the comfort of your home, or the
convenience of your office.
Once the dial-up connection for your AXIS 2120 is established, the product plugs directly
into a serial modem to provide immediate access to live video images in your own
custom-designed Web page. You access the images and the product Web pages in exactly
the same way as you would when connected to your ISP.
