Appendix D - Customizing The Video Server
Modifying the File System
The Linux-based operating system and flash memory file system make it possible for advanced
users and application developers to customize the AXIS 2411 by adding additional files to the
read-write area of the flash memory.
Important!
Although modification of the file system is not supported, the Axis web at www.axis.com does
maintain various documents designed to assist third-party development. These include detailed
information such as the Axis Camera API, HTTP-Interface Specification
• Modification of the flash file system is NOT supported by Axis. In practice, this means that Axis will
not answer questions relating to custom script or Web page development, but merely wishes to
inform potential application developers of the possibilities afforded by the Linux-based file structure
of the AXIS 2411.
• When attempting to modify the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that will require
you to return the AXIS 2411 to its factory default settings. At worst, you may even cause permanent
damage to the unit, rendering it unusable. Consequently, Axis strongly recommends that inexperi-
enced users DO NOT modify the file system.
