The AXIS 2110 supports TCP/IP over Ethernet, or PPP Modem dial-up. You must use TCP/IP on your Macintosh network, as there is no support for AppleTalk.

When using the AXIS 2110 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points:

• The camera has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80.

• Assign a temporary IP address in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81) to a Mac workstation and then connect to the camera.

• Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the camera.

• Also reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.

• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh is simple and there is no need to reboot.

Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solution for viewing Axis cameras on the Macintosh is to use Netscape.

Using Your Camera with a Modem

The information in this section describes how to set up the AXIS 2110 for use with a serial modem for transmitting images over a standard Dial-up connection.

Before You Begin

Before you can set up and access a modem-connected AXIS 2110 from a browser, you must first create a local setup, and can be created using the network or the supplied Null Modem Cable.

Using the Network

The easiest and best way to configure the camera fo r use with a modem is to fi rst ins tall it onto a local network, if availabl e. See Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 10 for more information. You can then use the Wizards and Adminis tration tools to configure th e modem connection and the application.

Using the Null Modem Cable

When there is no network available, the alternative is to connect a local computer to the AXIS 2110 using the supplied Null Modem Ca ble . You then create a Dial-up connection and establish the basic settings, using the Wizards and Administration Tools. See the following pages for more information. This type of connection is only a temporary solution that provides initial access to the camera. Once you have set up the camera for modem access, then all configur atio n can be do ne v ia the mo de m conn ecti on inst ead and yo u will not need to use the cable again.

Choosing Your Application

The AXIS 2110 can be used in a wide variety of applications. Installing directly onto an Ethernet network or via a V.9 0-co mpati bl e mo dem, th e pr odu ct is c omplet e ly ind ep end ent and requires no addition al soft ware on your vi ew in g des kto p. Cri sp live im ag es are available dir ectly in your bro wser as soon as the product is ins talled, and your appl icatio n can be further developed using the camera’s easy-to-use Wizards or Administration Tools.

Not to be regarded as a comprehensive catalog of possible applications, this section describes several typical applications and includes reference information that will help you prepare for the installation and configuration of the unit.

Networking Applic atio ns

If you have access to a local Ethernet connection at your chosen point of installation, you only need to plug the AXIS 2110 onto your LAN/WAN and set the IP Address to instantly view the images from any desktop on your network.

However, the AXIS 2110 offers more than just access to live video images. By using the available Wizards to guide y ou th rough the p roce ss, you can conf ig ure t he camer a fo r any number of exciting applications, including:

• Viewing images in a custom-designed Web page.

• Uploading images to a remote FTP server on a LAN/WAN network to accommodate a large viewing audience, where a high volume of Web page hits is anticipated.

• Connecting an external alarm device to the AXIS 2110 and uploading pre and/or post alarm images to a target FTP server whe n an ala rm or time -based eve nt occurs ; and optio nally, sending e-mail messages containing a single image and a link to the camera.

Note: Once the AXIS 2110 is physically connect ed and installed on your ne twork, you can t hen

access live video from any browser on your network - with no further configuration whatsoever. Whether you are an advanced or novice user, you should use the Wizards - available from the camera’s Home Page - to configure your application. Advanced users can optionally use the Web-based Administration Tools to refine their application once the basic configuration has been established using the Wizards.

Picture frequency for Networking Applications

When used in a TCP/IP networking environment, the AXIS 2110 delivers up to 15 images/second; where the actual image frequency is typically limited by:

• your browser/computer

•the image size

• the lighting conditions at the point of installation.

• the available network bandwidth

• complexity of detail and color variation within the image

Image Compression Ratios

The file size of a JPEG-compressed image depends upon the actual content of the image. Images containing a lot of detail will generate larger files. Image quality is controlled by the level of compression; high compression yields small files, while low compression maintains higher image quality at the expense of larger files. The table below contains average file sizes in kilobytes, derived from real-life tests:

Typical File Sizes (kbytes)

Resolution

640 x 480 250 kb 20 kb 13 kb 8 kb 320 x 240 70 kb 8 kb 5 kb 3 kb

At lowest compression

At low compression

At medium compression

At high compression

Note: Using a modern computer will avoid introducing any unnecessary bottleneck when

viewing the images.

Lighting Conditions

Images / sec.

Just like any camera, the shutter time of the AXIS 2110 increases in low light conditions to guarantee optimal image qua lit y .

The actual frame rate for your images is affected by the prevailing light conditions in your application environment. Al t hou gh the AXIS 2110 will produ ce good quality images right down to 3 Lux, local lighting shoul d ideall y be stabl e at 40 Lux or more to achieve optimal image frequency. Consequently, you can expect a reduced frame rate under low light conditions in your application environment, as shown in the diagram (right).

Modem Applications

If a local network connection is not availabl e wher e you w ant to use your AXIS 21 10, you can alternatively connect your AXIS 2110 to a V.90-compatible modem and quickly configure any number of exciting applications using the Wizards; including:

• Viewing images in a fully custom-designed Web page over a Dial-up modem connection.

• Sequentially uploading images to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) over a Dial-up modem connection and publishing images to the whole Internet community.

• Uploading single or pre/post alarm image sequences to your ISP over a Dial-up modem connection, when an alarm or time-based event occurs; and optionally, sending an e-mail alert containing the whole buffer and a link to the camera.

Important!

• Although the AXIS 2110 is compatible with most V.90-compli ant modems, Axis undertakes NO responsibility for V.90 modems that do not work with the product.

• When the AXIS 2110 is dialing out it will obviously not be possible to dial-in to it. If you configure an interval during which the camera will not be dialling out, this will allow you to dial-in and make any necessary change s etc.

Configuration

All modem applications must initially be configured from a browser on a local computer. If available you should always application will be using a modem. If there is no network available, you can instead use the supplie d Null Modem Cable to create a direct connection to the AXIS 2110 from the computer. This direct connection is only intended as an alternative for the initial configuration of the modem application when there is no network available. The Null Modem Cable should not be used for any other purpose.

Note: Once the Dial-up modem connection has been created and the AXIS 2110 is physically

connected to the modem, you will be able to dial up your AXIS 2110 in exactly the same way as you would your ISP - with no further configuration! Use the Installation and Application Wizards to establish the basic parameters for your application. Advanced users can use the Administration Tools to refine the application after the basic configuration has been established using the Wizards.

Picture Frequency for Modem Applications

When used with a modem, the speed of your communicati ons link will normal ly 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 appli cations connecte d to external s ecurity devi ces and whi ch 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 2110. In these cir cumstances we recommend that you ask your I SP to provide you with an alternative dial-up facility that allows for standard dial-up networking. Axis does not requires the use of propri etary or non-standard software for the Dial-up connection.

AXIS 2110 User’s Manual Lenses and Focusing

Appendix A - Lenses and Focusing

The AXIS 2110 features a replaceable CS-type Tele/Wide Zoom lens that can be targeted for different applications. Using rotational focus control, the lens must first be focused under normal, stable conditions to optimize the image quality for the camera.

The camera can be focused manually, o r with th e help of the Fo cu s Assi stan t. The latter is useful if your AXIS 2110 is located remotely from your viewing workstation. Having positioned the camera, follow the instructions below to focus it.

Important!

Although the AXIS 2110 is intended for both outdoor and indoor use, it is important to note that the charged coupled device (CCD) in the camera can become permanently damaged if it is exposed to too much direct sunlight or halogen light. Therefore, it is important that the Adjustment Ring is not set fully open when installing the camera in bright light conditions. The Axis warranty does not cover CCD damage caused by prolonged exposure to strong light.

Manual Focusing

❶Power-on the AXIS 2110 and wait 10 seconds.

❷The Iris Adjustme nt Ri ng effe cti vely closes

and opens the camera lens to regulate the amount of light entering the camera. Closing the ring reduces the amount of light to produce a better depth of field and focus over a greater distance. Whereas, a more open lens provides better results in low-light conditions.

Rotate the Iris Adjustment Ring to an appropriate position for your chosen installation, as follows:

• indoor scene - fully open (O)

• outdoor scene - mid position (between C and O)

Focusing using the Focus Assistant

The Status Indicator, u sed in conjunct ion with the Focus Assistant, provides an immediat e visual display that will help you achieve a good basic level of focus at the point of camera installation.

Focus Quality

Once set to Focus Mode, the Status Indicator displays the following colors that represent a predefined level of focus:

Color Level of Focus (%) Focus Quality

Red 0 - 60 Poor Yellow 60 - 80 Reasonable Green 80 - 100 Good

Rotational Focus Control

The lens provided with the AXIS 2110 has rotational focus control that allows the focal length of the lens to be adjusted manually. The lens is used to establish the basic level of focus when the image is stable, that is, when there is li ttle or no moveme nt. Rotate the lens clockwise for close focus, or anti-clockwise for distant focus.

You will probably find that the Status Indicator displays green, in dicating a good level of focus, several times during the full traverse of the lens assembly. This is because several planes of focus exist within the camera's normal field of view.

Focusing the Camera Under Stable Conditions

Before you begin:

For the focusing algorithm to work effectively, always ensure that there is minimal movement within the camera’s field of view when focusing, as described below.

With reference to the illustrations, follow the instructions below to achieve a good basic level of focus under normal stable conditions:

Important!

Do not press the Control Button for at least 10 seconds after powering on the unit - as this will cause the product to return to the factory default settings.

AXIS 2110 User’s Manual Lenses and Focusing

1. Adjust the Tele/Zoom ring to the desired

Status Indicator

setting (see illustration on page 39).

2. Set the Focus Ring to its extreme far-focus position by turning it fully clockwise.

3. Rotate the Iris Adjustment Ring to an appropriate po sition f or your i nstallati on, as follows:

Control Button

• indoor scene - fully open (O)

• outdoor scene - mid position (between C

and O)

4. Press and hold the Control Butt on using a paper clip, or any other suitably pointed object (see illustration) - until the Status Indicator flashes Yellow. This enable s th e Fo cus Assistant, set s th e St a tus In di cator to Focus Mode, and simultaneously starts a focusing algorithm that regularly calculates the quality of focus within the camera's field of view.

5. Slowly turn the Focus Ring six full-turns counter-clockwise.

6. Finally, turn the Focus Ring slowly clockwise until the Status Indicator displays Green; that is, until a Good level of focus is achieved. The Status Indicator displays different colors to represent a predefined level of focus (see table b elow).

7. Return to your browser applicatio n and review the pi cture quality. Repeat step 5 only you consider the focal distance as too distant - until you are satisfied with both the focal distance and focus quality.

8. To exit the Focus Assistant: press and hold the Control button until the Status Indicator flashes Yellow. The Status Indicator dis plays Green when the F ocus Assistant is closed.

Notes: •The Focus assistant can also be enabled and disabled from the Image-Focus page.

•A Good level of focus is normally attainable throughout several planes within the camera’s focusing spectrum.

•The Status Indicator displays Green to indicate a Good level of focus at 80% of optimum focus.

•Since optimum focusing is dependent on the camera’s field of view, it is important to scan the focusing plane from the closest to furthest perspectives before attempting any fine-tuning.

AXIS 2110 User’s Manual The Unit Connectors

Appendix D - The Unit Connectors

This section provides a detailed overview of the two supported product connectors: the Serial Connector and the IO Connector. It also includes connection diagrams for simple door switch and an LED output, as well as a more complete schematic diagram describing how the AXIS 2110 is connected for a typical application.

The Serial Connector

In the absence of a local network connection, the RS232 serial connector provides a physical interface for conn ecting a mo dem or comp uter to th e AXIS 211 0. Th is means that the AXIS 2110 can operate as a standalone unit - independent of any computer network. When a local network connection is unavailable at the point of installation, connect your PC to this connector using the supplied Null Modem Cable to initially configure your product.

The Physical Connector

A single 9 pin D-sub connector provides the physical connection for the RS232 serial interface of the AXIS 2110. This connector is dedicated for use with an external modem and is suitable for speeds up to 115kbps.

A diagram of the RS232 connector’s pinout information is shown below.

The IO Connector

A 4-pole connector is provided for auxiliary IO connections to the AXIS 2110.

Physical Connector

The IO connector provides the interface to a single digital output and a single digital input. A diagram for the connector complete with a pinout table is provided below.

Pin Function

1 Common Ground 2 Positive Connection for DC Power Input or Output:

3 Digital Input (photo-coupled anode on the diode):

4 Digital Transistor Output:

Electrically in parallel with the derived DC power for the unit, this pin may be used as a power input or output. As a power input it can be used for remote applications to supply the AXIS 2110 via an external direct current source; for example, a 9-15V DC battery supply. Used as a power output, it can drive the photo coupled input or other equipment; such as an infrared sensor. The output voltage level is dependent upon the input voltage to the unit. A maximum current of 50mA can be sourced from the DC output.

Voltages 5-24V DC will activate the input. It is possible to use pin 2 to source the input.

With a maximum load of 100mA and a maximum voltage of 24V DC, this output has an open-collector NPN transistor with the emitter connected to pin 1. If it is to be used with an external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel with the load for protection against any voltage transients - as detailed in the Schematic Connection Diagram of the I/O and RS232 Connector, on page 53. No te: Connec ting AC to the transistor output will damage the unit.

Digital Input

Used for connecting external alarm devices and triggering images for specific alarm-based events, the digital input is typic ally connec ted to a motion dete ctor - or any other exte rnal security device - for taking images on each occasion the detector is act ivated.

Digital Output

The supported transistor output can drive a maximum load of 24V DC at 100mA directly, and by connecting additional relay circuitry, it can drive even heavier loads.

Using the Administration Tools, you must first enable IO Status in the Layout Settings for the Digital Output ON/OFF buttons to be displayed in the product Home Page. The status of the Digital Output is then controlled by simply clicking these buttons.

High Speed Se rvices AXIS 2110 User’s Manual

Appendix E - High Speed Services

You will experience the full performance of the AXIS 2110 if you have access to high speed Internet services; such as, xDSL or a cable modem connection. However, as most high speed Internet services only provide you with one external IP address, there are several practical issues that should be considered when developing your application.

Available IP Addresses

Ideally, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) will provide you with several external static IP addresses - in which case you can assign any one of these to your AXIS 2110 to make it fully accessibl e over the inter net. However , if you r servi ce pro vide r suppl ies yo u with onl y one IP number - which is often the case - this IP number is normally assigned to your PC leaving no connection available for your AXIS 2110. So, what can you do if your ISP is unable to provide you with an additional IP number? Fortunately, there are a number of other options that you may like to consider; including:

NAT Box

Short for Network Address Translation, NAT is an Internet standard that allows a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic. A NAT box located where your LAN meets the Internet will handle all of the necessary IP address translations and provides:

• Internal IP addresses that are unique to your network - with no possibility of conflict with IP addresses used by other companies and organizations.

• The possibility of combining multiple ISDN connections into a single Internet connection.

• An effective firewall for hiding internal IP addresses

NAT Feature in Windows 2000

Utilize the NAT feature in Windows 2000 to allow multiple Ethernet cards in your PC, and you can then use one port for the internet and the other for your internal network. With this solution, you can let your AXIS 2110 upload image streams to an external Web server that is maintained and located with your ISP.

Note: For further details on Network Address Translation, see also RFC 1631.

Page 55

AXIS 2110 User’s Manual High Speed Services

Routers and Firewalls

Another ideal solution is to use one of several small routers/firewalls currently available on the market. This provide the necessary NAT functionality and allow complete independence for your PC, which can be switched off or rebooted without effecting the image transmission from your AXIS 2110.

WinGate Server Soft wa re :

Running on a single Windows 95/98/2000 or NT computer, this software allows multiple users simultaneous access to the Internet through a single modem; ISDN; or high speed line, such as xDSL or cable modem connection; and effectively shares a single Internet connection with almost any type of client computer running TCP/IP.

For more advanced users, the WinGate 3.0 Standard and Pro versions also allow the administrator to change the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed specifically to your AXIS 2110 - running behind the WinGate software.
