Product Overview  
The AXIS 2130 PTZ Network Camera is a combined Network Camera and Pan/Tilt/Zoom  
device. It plugs directly into an Ethernet network and delivers clear and sharp surveillance  
images to any browser on the network.  
The AXIS 2130 includes its own, built-in Web  
server that enhances traditional surveillance  
systems by distributing monitored images over a  
secure intranet network. The unit’s  
Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions are controlled directly  
from the browser window, as are all of the other  
available configuration options. All that is  
required is a standard browser such as Netscape  
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.  
The AXIS 2130 is supplied in the following  
variants:  
• The AXIS 2130 PTZ Network Camera - Connecting  
directly to Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networks,  
the AXIS 2130 is designed for conventional mounting on horizontal surfaces.  
• The AXIS 2130R PTZ Network Camera has the same features and capabilities as the AXIS 2130,  
but is designed for ceiling mounting only. The degree of pan and tilt is different to that of the  
AXIS 2130 - please see the technical specifications on page 37 for full details.  
The Web-based interface in both models features several user-friendly Wizards that  
simplify the installation process and provide for a seamless integration into your  
networking environment and custom applications. The open-network structure minimizes  
the need for costly coax cabling, to offer remote imaging over the network for a minimal  
connection overhead.  
The AXIS 2130/2130R is the smart and cost-effective solution for meeting the  
sophisticated demands expected of a modern interactive surveillance and remote  
monitoring system. It is simple to install - and easy to use!  
Features and Benefits

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators  
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's  
network.  
Important!  
DHCP should only be enabled if you know which IP address the AXIS 2130/2130R will get from the DHCP  
server, or if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS  
2130/2130R by name. If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the  
factory default settings (see page 20) and then perform the installation again (see page 9).  
Dynamic IP Address Notification Settings  
When the IP address changes by means beyond your control, such as by DHCP or PPP, you  
can choose to be notified of the change via HTTP, FTP or SMTP. Click the icon to display,  
edit and refine the settings for address notification.  
Referring to the on-line help and the table below, configure the dynamic IP address  
notification settings.  
Parameter  
HTTP  
Description  
Enabling HTTP means the server will send an HTTP GET request to the specified URL. This can then easily  
be taken care of by a designated cgi-script, which registers the request by some means. Custom  
parameters can be used by entering them in the field provided. The fields User Name and Password,  
(located directly below the field for Custom Parameters) should be used if the script is password  
protected. If you need to pass a proxy server to connect to the URL for the host, provide your user  
information in the relevant fields. See also the On-line help for more information.  
SMTP  
FTP  
Enabling SMTP will send an email notification of any change in IP address. Enter the recipient’s address  
and a sender’s address, as well as any text you want to appear in the subject of the email. Note that you  
must configure a mail server under Network Settings. See also the On-line help for more information.  
Saves a notification file on an FTP server. Provide the connection details for the server and your user name  
and password. If there is a firewall between the server and the FTP server, it is recommended that Passive  
Mode is enabled. There are 3 levels of TXT Type to choose from; Short - the IP address only; Extended -  
multi-line file; and HTML - contains the same information as Extended, but includes HTML tags. See also  
the On-line help for more information.  
TXT Field  
Specify your own text to include in the notification. This text is included in notifications sent by all of the  
above methods.

the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s  
Ethernet address. The daemon downloads the IP  
address to the device if a match is found.  
Notes: •Make sure the AXIS 2130/2130R is powered up and connected to the network.  
•IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the  
default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2130/2130R.  
•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP  
(Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional).  
UNIX systems require Root privileges.

Appendix C - Updating the Firmware  
The AXIS 2130/2130R firmware is stored in Flash memory. This memory is provided by a  
silicon chip that, just like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is  
removed. Flash memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written.  
This means you can install firmware updates for your AXIS 2130/2130R as they become  
available - without having to replace any parts. New firmware can be simply loaded into  
the AXIS 2130/2130R over the network.  
Obtaining Updated firmware  
The latest version of the AXIS 2130/2130R firmware is available free of charge from the  
Updating the firmware  
The AXIS 2130/2130R Flash memory is updated over the network using FTP.  
See the detailed instructions supplied with each new firmware release.  
Important!  
Always read the upgrade instructions available with each new release, before updating the firmware.  
Upgrading normally takes between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, although it can take longer. After  
starting the process, you should always wait at least 20 minutes before power-cycling the AXIS  
2130/2130R - even if you suspect the procedure has failed.  
In controlled environments, flash memory updates provide a very safe way of updating the firmware.  
However, flash products can become damaged if the update is not performed correctly. Your dealer  
reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty updating by the user.

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 2130/2130R by adding  
additional files to the read-write area of the flash memory.  
Important!  
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 2130/2130R.  
When attempting to modify the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that will require  
you to return the AXIS 2130/2130R to its factory default settings. At worst, you may even cause per-  
manent damage to the unit that renders it unusable. Consequently, Axis strongly recommends that  
inexperienced users DO NOT modify the file system.

Configuring using FTP  
As an alternative to configuring the AXIS 2130/2130R using a browser, the configuration  
parameters of your unit can be modified using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  
FTP is supported by most operating environments and is a useful method for quickly  
downloading standard pre-configurations to one or more units.

Custom Web Pages  
The AXIS 2130/2130R contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some  
directories and files to be changed by the root user, using FTP. This strictly non-supported  
product functionality, makes it possible for advanced users and application developers to  
add their own Web pages, scripts, and other files to the Axis product.  
Customizing Procedures  
The existing Administration pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file  
system. If you intend to try changing them you must adhere strictly to the instructions  
provided here and ensure that you DO NOT inadvertently change any files other than those  
featured in this section. Failure to comply with this notice may render your product  
unusable.

server in the virtual directory /local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html  
Editing and Storing Your Web pages  
Follow the instructions below to create and save customized pages to the AXIS  
2130/2130R:  
1. Using a html editor, create your html file and store it on your local PC hard drive.  
2. Now use ftp to upload the file to the AXIS 2130/2130R. Enter the following on the  
command line:  
ftp <server ip address >  
Example!  
ftp 172.21.1.200  
3. Log on as rootwith the root password pass.  
4. Change to the correct directory within the AXIS 2130/2130R by entering the following  
command:  
cd /etc/httpd/html  
5. For binary storage of the files (not absolutely necessary, but good practice), type bin.  
6. Upload your html files by entering:  
put <filename.html>

Creating a New Home Page  
Having created and stored your new custom Web pages in product memory, you then  
proceed to assign one of these pages as your default Home page in the AXIS 2130/2130R,  
as described below:  
Caution!  
Adding a new Web page to your AXIS 2130/2130R is not something that should be undertaken lightly.  
Remember: Axis does not support the personalization of product Web pages and strongly recommends  
that inexperienced users DO NOT perform such modifications.  
1. Start a new ftp session to the AXIS 2130/2130R, by entering:  
ftp <camera ip address >  
2. Type bin  
3. Navigate your way to the appropriate directory, entering:  
cd /etc/httpd/conf/  
4. Fetch the boa.conf file, by typing:  
get boa.conf  
5. Edit boa.conf and add the following line to the end of the file:  
Alias /index.html /etc/httpd/html/index.html  
Alias / /etc/httpd/html  
This will create an alias to your own “homemade” index.html file stored in the  
/etc/httpd/html/ directory and redirect access to it. Replace the edited boa.conf in  
the video server, by using the Putcommand.  
Note:  
As an alternative to the above, you might like to edit the line starting with Document Root  
so that it points directly to the local directory. However, after doing this you will then be  
unable to access the original Home pages - so be warned!  
6. After making these changes, you will not be able to automatically access the default  
index page. Instead you must type in the complete URL to access it:

The two external device output terminals (A and B) are automatically switched to the  
connected or disconnected postion - there is no distinction between + and -. The terminals  
use optocouplers and are electrically insulated from the other internal circuitry.  
The maximum load should not exceed 100mA and the maximum voltage should be no  
higher than 50V DC. Note: Connecting AC to the output will damage the unit.  
A
B
IN+  
IN -  
The external device input terminals consist of a + terminal and a - teminal. The - terminal is  
grounded on the inside of the main unit. Interupts are generated by connecting cables to  
the terminals and shorting (ON) or breaking (OFF) the circuit. Sensors and switches should  
be connected to these terminals with electrically isolated GND and power supplies.

Input  
Used for connecting external alarm devices and triggering images for specific alarm-based  
events, the input is typically connected to a motion detector - or any other external  
security device - for saving images on each occasion the detector is activated.  
Output  
The output can drive a maximum load of 50V DC at 100mA directly, and by connecting  
additional relay circuitry, it can drive even heavier loads. If the output is used with an  
external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel with the load for protection against  
any voltage transients.

Controlling and Monitoring  
By entering http requests in your browser’s URL field, you can:  
• drive the relay output high or low  
• monitor the status of the digital input  
This requires you to have root access to the AXIS 2130/2130R and consequently, to supply  
a user name and password. Login as root and supply the root password (default = pass).  
Tip!  
Developers wishing to create applications incorporating sophisticated alarm conditioning using the  
relay output and digital input are encouraged to read the Camera API, HTTP-Interface Specification,  
Relay Output  
The relay output can be used to directly drive a maximum load of 50V DC at 100mA. By  
connecting additional relay circuitry, it can also drive heavier loads.  
The output relay is controlled using http requests, as defined in the following examples:  
Example 1: - Set output 1 ON

Example 2: - Set two 300ms pulses with 500ms delay between the pulses on output 1.  
http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/300\500/300\  
Example 3: - Wait 1 second before setting output 1 ON.  
Digital Input  
The digital input is programmed using the Application Wizard, allowing the AXIS  
2130/2130R to be configured for time and alarm-based image recording. For example, by  
connecting a motion detector to the digital input, it is a relatively simple procedure to send  
a single image (or video stream) to a remote imaging library each time the detector is  
activated.  
Querying the Status of Digital Inputs  
The status of the digital input can be queried in exactly the same way as the relay output.  
Simply enter the following URL to query the status of the digital input:  
Example: - Monitor data on input port 1:  
The AXIS 2130/2130R then displays the status of the input, as follows:  
Input 1 = 0
