AXIS 200+ and 240 User’s Guide Using the Camera Server

Snapshots

Throughout this user guide, an image generated by the camera server is referred to as a snapshot.

The following information describes how to take a snapshot and also defines the various types of

snapshots files that can be produced.

Taking Snapshots

For each snapshot taken, the camera server generates a JPEG file and stores it within its internal

memory.

Home Page Snapshots

To produce a snapshot within the AXIS 200+ and 240 Home Pages, simply enter the name or IP

address of the unit into the location/address field of your Web browser:

Example

This causes the camera server to generate a fullsize JPEG image. Each time you reload the page, a

new snapshot is displayed within the camera server Home Pages.

Clean Snapshots

To generate clean snapshots that are not embedded within the camera server Home Page, you must

specify the preferred snapshot type for the target JPEG file within the URL of your Web browser.

Snapshots can be created in different sizes, e.g. fullsize, halfsize etc.

Example

Snapshot Types

You can adjust the size and appearance of your snapshots, ranging from small, highly compressed

to large, high-quality images.

The file size depends on several factors. Low compression and large images result in larger files, but

higher quality. Images with a lot of detail will also generate larger files.
