An Introduction to the AXIS 2420 AXIS 2420 User’s Manual
6
To simplify the installation process, the Web-based interface provides an Installation
Wizard and an Application Wizard, which help you towards a seamless and automated
integration into your networking and application environments.
Including a video output via a standard BNC connector, the AXIS 2420 also connects
directly to any analog CCTV system to provide instant Plug-and-Watch integration into
two parallel imaging networks - traditional analog, and modern digital.
Suitable for use in outdoor enclosures, the AXIS 2420 includes in-picture motion
detection, making it the ideal professional surveillance tool.
Features and Benefits
Ease of Use - The AXIS 2420 is completely independent of any other server and requires no
special hardware or viewing software. All you need to view live pictures over your network
is Netscape Navigator 4.x or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x (used with the Axis
ActiveX component or Java Applet). Whatever your choice of browser, the AXIS 2420
supports complete Plug-and-Watch functionality; so, all you need to do is assign a valid IP
address.
Simple Administration - Using a standard browser, the AXIS 2420 is configured and managed
directly from its own Web pages.
Cost-effective - The AXIS 2420 provides a reliable and low-cost resource for high-quality
imaging over the network without the hidden accessories normally required by other
digital cameras; such as, expensive software, management workstations, dedicated
applications, video cabling or PC frame-grabber cards. Use the AXIS 2420 as a night
watchman and exploit the downtime on corporate networks. With the AXIS 2420 there’s
no need to install coaxial cabling - just use your existing Ethernet networks for remote
surveillance imaging - as well as for data communication.
Built-in Support for the AXIS 2191 Audio Module - The AXIS 2420 can be used directly with
this add-on component, which enables live audio on your camera. The AXIS 2191 is
supplied separately.
Open Standards Environment - Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP, HTTP and other
Internet-related protocols, the AXIS 2420 can be used in mixed operating system
environments; such as Windows, UNIX, Macintosh and OS/2. It integrates easily into other
WWW/Intranet applications and CGI scripts.
