Picture Frequency for Modem Applications
When used with a modem, the speed of your communications link will normally determine
the image frequency in your browser. A standard image is normally transmitted in 2-5
seconds, although optimal image frequency is achieved by buffering the video stream into
internal memory before uploading the recorded images to your ISP or Web server. This is
the ideal solution for remote applications connected to external security devices and which
require a good flow of images from alarm events.
Proprietary ISP Dial-up Protocols
If your ISP requires you to install any special software before initiating a Dial-up
connection, it is likely that your ISP is using proprietary protocols, incompatible with the
standard-based AXIS 2100. In these circumstances we recommend that you ask your ISP to
provide you with an alternative dial-up facility that allows for standard dial-up
networking. Axis does not
guarantee the compatibility of this product with any ISP that
requires the use of proprietary or non-standard software for the Dial-up connection.
