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 theres  
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.

Outdoor Use - The AXIS 2420 is a professional product including full DC-iris control and is  
shipped either without a lens (AXIS 2420) or with a DC-Iris varifocal lens (AXIS 2420  
W/Lens). Both variants can alternatively be fitted with any standard C-CS type lens.  
Installed into an appropriate outdoor housing, the camera makes an ideal remote  
monitoring tool for outdoor use. Follow the accessories links for information on  
appropriate outdoor casings for the AXIS 2420 on our Website at www.axis.com.  
Motion Detection - Sophisticated motion detection with in-picture alarm programming, and  
multi-window triggering for professional remote monitoring over TCP/IP networks, or via  
a modem.  
Standard Image Format - In professional surveillance applications its often critical for every  
recorded image to be of a high quality. Thats why, in contrast to many inferior solutions  
that simply store image changes from one frame to another, the AXIS 2420 delivers up to  
25/30 (PAL/NTSC) full, high-quality frames per second. Your pictures can be viewed using  
any standard browser and the data integrity of your recorded images is always assured.  
Image Updating - The on-board AXIS ETRAX 100-LX processor combined with the  
revolutionary AXIS ARTPEC-1 Real Time Picture Encoder provides an amazing  
power-synergy to deliver up to 25/30 frames/second over 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks.  
High Compression - The AXIS ARTPEC chip affords both an efficient and variable ratio of  
JPEG image compression that can be defined by the user.  
Analog or Digital - The AXIS 2420 includes a standard BNC video output which means that  
apart from a connection over a modem or network, you can simultaneously connect the  
AXIS 2420 to any analog CCTV system. That gives you simultaneous video imaging over  
diverse surveillance systems.  
External Device Connection - Supporting RS-232 and RS-485 communication protocols, the  
AXIS 2420 includes the physical interfaces for connecting a variety of external devices;  
such as, Pan/Tilt/Zoom devices, doorbells, switches and alarm relays. Develop your own  
PHP-based programing scripts for creating a variety of security applications triggered on  
time or alarm-based events. You can even drive annunciators and other audible alarm  
devices using the relay output.  
Wide Range of Applications - The AXIS 2420 offers live video over internet networks and the  
Internet, and is ideal for use with many of todays high-speed internet services. Allowing  
remote access directly from your Web browser, you can view live images, manage, and  
control the AXIS 2420 at any time and from anywhere. The AXIS 2420´s sophisticated  
features make it the ideal tool for intruder detection, industrial process control, public  
surveillance, visual security, and image archiving applications.

Modem Support - The Point to Point Protocol (PPP) support allows you to use your AXIS  
2420 remotely over a serial link, just as if it were located on your local network. You can  
initially set up the AXIS 2420 over the network, or use a computer connected directly to  
the AXIS 2420 via the supplied Null Modem cable. The AXIS 2420 is accessed using a  
standard Dial-up (PPP) connection.  
ISP Support - Arrange for the image files to be uploaded to an Internet Service Provider  
(ISP) and provide the global Internet community with browser access to your live images.  
Select any of the supported ISPs from the embedded Web-based Wizards, or choose your  
own preferred ISP as an imaging repository for your images.  
Security - The AXIS 2420 includes a self-contained Web server, which means that your  
digital images can be protected just like any other Internet host. Data protection is  
normally implemented by your Network Administrator using the unit security settings in  
combination with an organizations Internet firewall. The Administrator can subsequently  
restrict image access to specific individuals or groups, or alternatively allow global access.  
Linux Operating System - The AXIS 2420 includes modified versions of the Boa Web server,  
and Linux operating system - both of which are freely distributed under the GNU General  
Public License, as published by the Free Software Foundation. This software provides a  
stable and reliable platform for open-source development of the product. In accordance

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators  
centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an  
organization's network.  
Important!  
DHCP should only be enabled if you know which IP address the AXIS 2420 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 2420 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 30) and then perform the installation again (see page 12).

System Security  
To prevent unauthorized use of the camera, the AXIS 2420 supports multi-user password  
protection, and access can be restricted to defined users only. A system Administrator has  
unrestricted access to the product´s Administration Tools and can determine the  
registration and access rights for all users.  
Notes: •When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time you will be assumed to be the admin-  
istrator and will be logged in as such, with the user name root and default password pass.  
•The root password must however, be changed as soon as possible. Until this has been done, the  
security features in the product be will not be enabled. Furthermore, all Axis products are  
shipped with the same password by default.  
User Access Rights  
As an Administrator, click System and then Users to perform any of the following tasks:  
• define or edit the administrator (root) password  
• define, add and delete user names and passwords  
• assign individual access rights to a selected user, where each user is awarded with one or more  
of the following levels of access:  
Admin: a user granted with Admin rights has unrestricted access to the Administra-  
tion Tools and can consequently determine the registration of all users.  
Dial-in: provides the user with dial-in modem access only.  
View: provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user to view images.  
Important!  
By default, the AXIS 2420 supports anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the Inter-  
net/intranet has access to the images (but not the Admin tools) from a browser.  
To restrict open viewing access, simply register a single authorized user. This effectively revokes the  
anonymous user service and restricts access to specified users. If the anonymous user service is satisfac-  
tory for your application, simply do not add any users. The Administrator’s own settings are enough to  
provide anonymous viewing access.

4. Set the Size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders accordingly for the surveillance  
area. The sliders are described briefly below. A fuller description is provided in the  
on-line help.  
•Size - The relative size of the moving object in the motion detection window.  
•History - Specifies for how long a moving object will trigger the motion detection  
before being regarded as non-moving.  
•Sensitivity - The higher the level, the less contrast is needed to trigger the motion  
detection.  
5. If you are using Netscape Naviagator, click Save to save your motion detection  
windows. In Internet Explorer the windows are saved automatically.  
6. Having created a new motion detection window, you are now ready to test it. Create  
some physical disturbance within the motion window area and check the motion  
indicator box. If the window does not react as you want it to, adjust the sensitivity  
slider. The horizontal line will move to reflect the new setting. When the motion  
indicator shows activity in the image, it is the activity above the horizontal line which  
will trigger any alarms you may have set.  
Note: Motion detection windows support simple drag-and-drop functionality, which allows you extend  
or reduce the window area at any time. To delete a window, select the window and press Delete.  
COM-Ports, Modems and Pan-Tilt-Zoom Devices  
The supported COM-ports are one RS-232 and one RS-485/422 port. The RS-232 port is  
connected via the 9-pin D-sub connector on the rear of the unit and the RS-485/422  
interface is via the I/O-B terminal block connector.  
The RS-485/422 port supports the connection of an external device, usually a Pan Tilt unit.  
The RS-232 port can be used for the same purpose, but also for connecting a modem or the  
AXIS 2191 Audio Module. For details on how to connect and configure the AXIS 2191,  
please see The AXIS 2191 Audio Module, on page 38.  
Note: Only one port at a time can be used for controlling a Pan Tilt device.

own ISP is not listed, use the Generic setting. The settings available are; the number you  
dial to your ISP, your user name and password, the connection type and the re-dialing  
properties. You can save on phone bills by setting the connection type to Closes After or  
Optimized. See the on-line help for more information.  
Using Pan-Tilt-Zoom Devices  
There is a wide range of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) devices available on the market today. Some  
of these can be used with your AXIS 2420 to provide a simple means of remotely aiming  
and controlling your camera. A PTZ device connects directly to the AXIS 2420 via the  
RS-232 port or RS-485/422 port on the back panel of the camera. Both ports support the  
use of these devices, but only one port at a time can be used for the purpose.  
Apart from the COM settings shown by default for the COM ports, selecting External  
Device for the port will also reveal a section called Pan Tilt Settings. The drop-down list  
allows you to select the driver for your PTZ device. The devices in the list are the ones  
currently supported by the AXIS 2420. For the latest information concerning supported  
PTZ drivers, please see the Axis Web at www.axis.com.

Choosing Your Application  
The AXIS 2420 can be used in a wide variety of applications and installs directly onto an  
Ethernet network, or over a V.90-compatible modem. Requiring no additional software on  
your viewing desktop, it is a completely self contained unit that delivers crisp live images  
to your browser. Using the Web-based Administration Tools and easy-to-use Wizards, you  
can quickly and easily develop your application.  
This section contains a few examples of typical applications, and also includes other  
reference information to help you configure your product.  
Networking Applications  
If you have access to an Ethernet connection at your installation location, simply plug the  
AXIS 2420 into your LAN/WAN and set the IP address. You are then ready to view images  
from any desktop over your network.  
However, the AXIS 2420 offers more than just convenient access to live images over the  
network. Using the available Wizards to guide you through the process, you can quickly  
and easily configure your product for a variety of exciting applications, including:  
• Using Motion Detection to generate alarms and trigger uploads of recorded images.  
• Connecting an external alarm device, e.g. a door switch, to the AXIS 2420 and uploading pre  
and/or post alarm images to a target FTP server when an alarm or time-based event occurs;  
and optionally, sending e-mail alerts containing images, and/or a link to the camera.  
• 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.  
Note: You can access live images from a desktop browser on your network as soon as the AXIS 2420 is  
physically installed on your network. Both advanced and novice users should then use the Wiz-  
ards to configure the chosen application. After the basic configuration has been established with  
the Wizards, advanced users can then use the Web-based Administration Tools for refining the  
application.

Picture frequency for Networking Applications  
When used in a TCP/IP networking environment, the AXIS 2420 delivers up to 30/25  
(NTSC/PAL) images/second. The perceived frame rate in your browser is typically limited  
by:  
• the number of clients accessing the images  
• your computer and browser  
• the chosen image resolution and compression  
• the lighting conditions at the point of installation  
• available network bandwidth  
• the complexity of detail and color variation within the image  
Note: The AXIS 2420 is available in NTSC and PAL variants to accommodate the different power supply  
frequencies in the USA and Europe.  
Image Compression Ratios  
Although the file size of a JPEG-compressed image depends upon the actual content of the  
image, images containing great detail generally generate larger files. Image quality is  
largely controlled through the level of compression; where high compression yields small  
files, and low compression maintains higher image quality at the expense of larger files.  
The table below is derived from real-life tests, and defines the average file sizes for each  
supported image resolution:

Modem Applications  
If a local network connection is not available at your chosen point of installation, you can  
alternatively connect your AXIS 2420 to a V.90-compatible modem and quickly configure  
any number of exciting applications using the Wizards; including:  
• Using Motion Detection to generate alarms and trigger uploads of recorded images.  
• Uploading single or pre/post alarm image sequences to your ISP over a modem connection,  
when an alarm or time-based event occurs; and optionally, sending e-mail alerts containing  
images or links to pre/post alarm images stored by your ISP.  
• Sequentially uploading images to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) over a modem  
connection and publishing images to the whole Internet community.  
Important!  
Although the AXIS 2420 is compatible with most V.90-compliant modems, Axis takes no responsibil-  
ity for V.90 modems that fail to work with the product.  
When the AXIS 2420 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 dialing out, this will allow you to dial-in and make any  
necessary changes, etc. If you also have an Ethernet network connection, then this will always be  
available, even if the camera is dialing out via the modem connection.  
Configuration  
All modem applications must initially be configured from a browser on a local computer. If  
available, you should always use an Ethernet network for this purpose, even if the actual  
application will be using a modem. When there is no network available, you can use the  
supplied Null Modem Cable to create a direct connection to the AXIS 2420 from the  
computer. This direct connection is only intended as an alternative for the initial  
configuration of the modem application in the absence of a network. The Null Modem  
Cable should not be used for any other purpose.  
Note: Once the modem connection has been created and the AXIS 2420 is physically connected to the  
modem, you can then connect to your camera in exactly the same way as you would to your ISP -  
with no further configuration whatsoever. You use the Installation and Application Wizards to  
establish the basic parameters for your application, and advanced users can optionally use the  
Administration Tools to refine their application once the basic configuration is complete.

AXIS 2420 User’s Manual

Picture Frequency for Modem Applications  
The speed of your modem link is a dominant factor in determining the frequency at which  
images are displayed in your browser, and an average-sized image is normally transmitted  
in 2-4 seconds. For alarm applications, where picture updating is critical, images are  
buffered into internal memory prior to being uploaded to your ISP or Web server. This  
means that a slow connection will not prevent your images being correctly saved and  
transmitted.  
Proprietary ISP Dial-up Protocols  
If you need 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  
2420. In these circumstances, we recommend that you ask your ISP for an alternative  
dial-up service that allows for standard dial-up networking. Axis does not guarantee the  
compatibility of this product with any ISPs requiring the use of proprietary or  
non-standard software as a pre-requisite for dial-up connections.

Ideal for busy Web sites on large or small networks, this application uploads images to an  
FTP server/ISP, via the network or a modem, and is perfect for applications where a large  
audience is expected. Your images can then be accessible to several specific users, or to the  
whole Internet community! You can select any of the ISPs in the Application Wizard, or  
specify your own.

access the application at any one time. Use this  
setting to limit access if you only have limited  
bandwidth available.  
5. If you are using Half-Duplex mode, the Send  
option can be used to send audio from the  
client currently transmitting to all the other  
clients, and not just to the server end. Set to  
Yes to enable the function.  
6. When using Half-Duplex, the Push-To-Talk  
button will be visible. Select the mode to use  
for this button. Selecting Toggle means that  
when the button is pushed it will remain so  
until pushed again. Instant means that the  
button will remain active (pushed) until  
released.  
7. Adjust the Volume Out control until a  
satisfactory speaker level is heard. The Level  
Out LED can be used to check that there is  
audio being received. Note that both the  
control and the LED are on the audio module  
itself.

Using the Different Audio Modes  
Full-Duplex  
Full-Duplex mode means that you can transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the  
same time, without having to use any of the controls. This is just like having a telephone  
conversation. The only controls you may wish to use are the mute checkboxes to turn off  
the sound, and the level sliders, to adjust the input/output levels. This mode requires a  
full-duplex sound card on your computer. If your available bandwidth is 0.2Mbit/s or less,  
it is recommended that you use Half-Duplex mode instead.  
Half-Duplex  
Half-Duplex mode also sends and receives audio in both directions, but only in one  
direction at a time. This means you must actively transmit with the help of the  
Push-to-Talk button. To speak, press the button (check that the microphone is not muted).  
When finished speaking, release the button. You will now be receiving audio from the  
other end of the connection. Note that the Push-to-Talk button can be configured for use  
in two different ways - Toggle or Instant. This is set in the cameras admin tools.  
Half-Duplex mode is best if you only have limited bandwidth available.

This appendix provides useful information to help you to resolve any difficulty you might  
have with your AXIS 2420. Symptoms, possible causes and remedial actions are provided  
in a quick reference table.  
PINGing Your IP Address  
determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It also provides a particularly useful  
method for confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 2420 on the network.  
Having disconnected your AXIS 2420, follow the instructions below in association with  
Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions, on page 48, and run PING to  
troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your network:  
1. Start a Command window.  
2. Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the AXIS 2420.  
3. If you recieve the reply destination host unreachable, then the AXIS 2420 is not  
accessible on your subnet. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the unit.  
4. If this does not solve the problem, disconnect the AXIS 2420 from the network and run  
the PING command again. See the table below for an interpretation of the results.

page 47). If the utility returns no response or similar, then this  
diagnosis is probably correct.  
In Windows, check that the IP address for your AXIS 2420 is on the  
same subnet as your workstation. Exactly how this is done varies  
from one version of Windows to another. See Windows’ help for  
more information.  
If your AXIS 2420 is on a different subnet than your workstation  
you will not be able to set the IP address from this workstation.  
Contact your network administrator.  
In Windows 95, the ARP  
table was empty when you  
tried to set the IP address.  
In Windows 95, the ARP command cannot be used if you have an  
empty ARP table.  
Type arp -a to view the ARP table. If it is empty, you must ping  
an existing unit on your network before you can download the IP  
address to the AXIS 2420, using ARP.  
The AXIS IP Installer is a good alternative to ARP.  
The IP address has changed. Check that there is no DHCP or BOOTP server running on your  
network.  
Possible problem with your  
proxy server.  
Try disabling the proxy default in your browser.  
Other networking problems. Try replacing your network cable.  
Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local  
computer to the unit, using a standard Crossover (hub-to-hub)  
Cable.  
If the above actions do not resolve the problem, the AXIS 2420 may  
be faulty. In this case, try to localize the problem by connecting the  
AXIS 2420 to the serial port of a local computer, using the supplied  
Null Modem Cable and report your findings to your local distributor.

Appendix B - Other IP Setup Methods  
In addition to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this  
manual), you can alternatively set the IP address for your AXIS 2420 using any of the  
following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:  
Method  
Operating Systems  
Refer to...  
AXIS IP Installer  
Windows  
Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 52.  
BOOTP  
UNIX  
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this  
method operates over the entire network. A  
request to an active daemon initiates a search of  
the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s  
Ethernet address. The daemon replys with the IP  
address for the device, if a match is found.  
DHCP  
Most  
This method should only be used if you know which  
IP address the DHCP server will give the camera, or  
if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server,  
which then allows you to access the camera using  
a name.  
Notes: •Do not use the default IP address featured in these examples when installing your AXIS 2420. If  
in doubt, consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address.  
•Make sure the AXIS 2420 is powered up and attached to the network.  
•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME, you do  
need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems  
require Root privileges.  
Ethernet Address: The AXIS 2420 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address based upon the serial  
number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows the format  
00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You must know the Ethernet address to complete the installation.

Notes for Macintosh Users  
The AXIS 2420 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 2420 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 to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81)  
and then connect to the camera.  
• Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the camera.  
• Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.  
• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a 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.

Lenses and Advanced Focusing  
AXIS 2420 User’s Manual  
54  
Appendix C - Lenses and Advanced Focusing  
Your camera was supplied either without a lens (AXIS 2420), or with a DC-Iris lens (AXIS  
2420 W/Lens). Either model can be fitted with any standard CS/C lens. The DC-Iris support  
included with the AXIS 2420 will drive any standard DC-Iris lens.  
Fitting a Lens  
Note: The AXIS 2420 is equipped with a CS-mount, so any standard CS lens can be fitted directly. To  
mount a C-type lens, a CS-C adapter must also be used. The adapter effectively moves the lens  
5mm away from the camera’s CCD.  
Follow the instructions below to fit any C or CS type lens:  
1. C-lens only: Attach the new lens to a CS-C Adapter.  
2. Screw the lens onto the AXIS 2420. If applicable, adjust the iris according to the  
prevailing light conditions.  
3. Referring to Focusing Procedure, on page 56, adjust the camera focus.  
4. Adjust the DC-Iris settings. See page 57.  
5. Refresh your browser and check the results from the cameras Home Page.  
Caution!  
Exposing your camera to bright sunlight may cause permanent damage to the CCD if you:  
use a non-DC Iris lens, or  
select anything other than DC-Iris in the Exposure Control settings of the Image - Advanced page.  
Axis consequently advises extreme caution when fitting a lens to your AXIS 2420 and/or when using the  
Image - Advanced settings. Damage caused to the AXIS 2420 through overexposure to direct sunlight or  
halogen light is not covered under the product warranty.

Direct Focusing in Your Browser  
The AXIS 2420 is easily targeted for different applications.  
With your video stream displayed in a browser, simply  
adjust the camera focus ring until you are satisfied with  
the focus.  
Important!  
The illustration below is displayed as  
an example of a commonly available  
lens type, but is NOT typical for  
all lens types.  
However, for remote installations - where you are unable  
to view your video images directly in a browser - you can  
achieve a good level of camera focus by using the Focus  
Assistant, described below.  
Lock Ring  
Focus Ring  
Notes: •The text information printed on the lens assembly will  
clearly define the focusing polarity (F, , and N) for the  
focus ring supplied with your unit. The camera focus is  
adjusted for either Far-focus (F, ) or Near-focus (N) by  
rotating the focus ring in the appropriate direction.  
•The lens rotates on a screw fitting and can be completely  
removed. If you need to remove the lens, take care not to  
let any dust enter the lens or the camera window as this  
can adversely affect the quality of your live images.  
Wide/Tele Zoom  
Using The Focus Assistant  
Important!  
As an alternative to the procedures described here, you can also enable and use the Focus Assistant  
directly from the Administration Tools. For more information on this, please refer to the on-line help.  
Enabled manually using the Control Button (or via the administration Web pages), the  
Focus Assistant works in conjunction with the Status Indicator to provide an onboard  
visual display for focusing your camera. With the Focus Assistant enabled, the Status  
Indicator displays Green when the camera is focused - which means you can conveniently  
focus the AXIS 2420 without having to monitor the images in a desktop browser.  
Focusing Quality  
The table below show the full range of colors displayed by the Status Indicator when the  
Focus Assistant is enabled; where each color represents a predefined level of focus:

Plane of Focus  
The lens has rotational focus control that allows the focal length of the lens to be adjusted  
manually. Depending on the chosen physical location for your camera, it is likely that  
several planes of focus will exist throughout the full focusing depth of the unit;  
consequently, the Status Indicator is likely to display green - indicating a good level of  
focus - several times throughout the full travel of the lens assembly.  
Focusing Procedure  
Before you begin:  
For the focusing algorithm to work efficiently, always ensure that there is minimal movement in the  
camera’s field of view when focusing, as described below.  
With reference to the accompanying illustrations, follow the instructions below to achieve  
a good basic level of focus under stable conditions:  
Important!  
Do not press the Control Button for at least 10 seconds after powering up the unit, as this will cause the  
AXIS 2420 to return to its factory default settings.  
1. Power up the AXIS 2420 and then wait at least 10 seconds.  
2. Turn the lens to its extreme Far-focus (F, ) position.  
3. Enable the Focus Assistant. Using a suitably  
pointed object, press and continue to hold  
the Control Button - until the Status  
Indicator flashes Yellow.  
Lens Assembly  
Status Indicator  
The Focus Assistant is now enabled with the  
Status Indicator set to Focus Mode. The  
AXIS 2420 now initiates a focusing  
algorithm to regularly calculate the quality  
of focus.  
4. In order for the Focus Assistant to access the  
full focusing range for your application  
environment, turn the lens slowly to its  
extreme Near-focus (N) position.  
Control Button

AXIS 2420 User’s Manual  
Lenses and Advanced Focusing  
57  
5. Finally, turn the lens slowly towards the Far-focus (F, ) position, until the Status  
Indicator displays Green; that is, until a Good level of focus is achieved.  
Notes: •A Good level of focus is normally achievable throughout several planes within the focusing  
range of the camera.  
•The Status Indicator displays Green to indicate a Good level of focus at 80% of optimum focus.  
•Since optimum focusing is dependent upon the camera’s field of view, it is important to scan  
the focusing plane from the furthest to the closest perspectives before attempting any  
fine-tuning.  
6. Return to your browser and review the picture quality. Repeat step 5 only if you  
consider the focal distance too distant - until you are satisfied with both the  
focal-distance and focus-quality.  
7. To exit the Focus Assistant: press and hold the Control button - until the Status  
Indicator flashes Yellow. The Status Indicator displays Green when the Focus Assistant  
is closed.  
Adjusting the DC-Iris Settings  
The DC-Iris settings must be adjusted to meet the requirements of the lens you intend to  
use. You will need to modify the Exposure Control and other related settings for your  
camera, from the Image-Advanced page.  
Use the information presented in the following tables to choose the appropriate settings for  
your lens type.  
Caution!  
Exposing your camera to bright sunlight may cause permanent damage to the CCD if you:  
install and use a non-DC Iris lens with the product, or  
select anything other than DC-Iris in the Exposure Control settings of the Image - Advanced page.  
Axis consequently advises extreme caution when changing the lens and/or when using the Advanced  
settings. Damage caused to the AXIS 2420 through overexposure to direct sunlight or halogen light is  
not covered under the product warranty.

The table below provides a summary of the Exposure Control settings in the Image -  
Advanced page. Select the parameters for your lens type and product application.  
Lens Options  
Description  
DC-Iris  
The DC-Iris setting is the standard factory default setting found on the Image-Advanced page. It allows  
the user to manually specify the exposure, shutter speed, gain, and ALC levels.  
Non-DC-Iris - Manual  
Non-DC-Iris - Shutter  
Non-DC-Iris - Auto  
Choose this setting if you have fitted a non-DC-Iris lens to your AXIS 2420, but wish to adjust the  
shutter speed and gain manually.  
Choose this setting if you have fitted a non-DC-Iris lens to your AXIS 2420 but wish to adjust the  
shutter speed manually.  
Choose this setting if you have fitted a non-DC-Iris lens to your AXIS 2420 and would like the shutter  
speed and gain to be adjusted automatically.  
Other Advanced Parameters  
Lens Options  
Description  
Shutter Speed  
Derived from the shutter speed on a normal camera, this parameter defines the exposure period for each  
image. Use a high shutter speed only if your image subject is expected to be moving quickly; otherwise, a  
slower speed will normally suffice.  
Sharpness  
Gain  
Defines a level of differentiation between light and dark areas within the image. Corresponding higher lev-  
els of sharpness provide for sharper images, but also cause the image compression to be more complex.  
Consequently, the file size of a sharp image can be significantly greater than an image that is less sharp.  
Adjust the gain to suit the average level of light at your point of installation. The AXIS 2420 should be set to  
a corresponding higher level of Gain if your camera is normally monitoring an area at night, or is situated in  
a dark room or cupboard.  
ALC Level  
This defines how acutely the lens reacts to a single light source within the image. For example, with the ALC  
level set at a higher level, the headlights from a car will generally cause the calculated average level of light  
to increase, and subsequently result in a compensated image that is usually much darker.  
Adjusting the ALC to a lower level reduces the sensitivity of the lens to single light sources within the  
image.

Adjusting the Back Focus  
Your AXIS 2420 is supplied with the back focus roughly set to accommodate a reasonable  
level of focus throughout the complete focusing range. However, if you are dissatisfied  
with the quality of focusing at a specific plane (or at several planes) within the focusing  
range, you may need to make some fine adjustments to the back focusing of the lens. This  
is performed by adjusting the focus and zoom rings of the camera lens, as described below:  
Procedure  
1. With the Focus Ring set to the Far-focus (F, ) position, aim the camera at a subject  
over 30 metres away.  
2. Set the lens assembly to wide angle, and adjust the back focus by loosening the Lock  
Ring and then turning the lens assembly. Continue to turn the lens assembly until you  
achieve optimum image clarity  
3. Check that you obtain sharp pictures at various zoom grades and various distances.  
Note: If possible, it is better to perform this adjustment in low light conditions, or with a filter covering  
the front optic. This will ensure the iris is fully open to give the smallest depth of field, and there-  
fore the best result.

Appendix D - Customizing Your Camera  
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 2420 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 2420.  
When attempting to modify the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that will require  
you to return the AXIS 2420 to its factory default settings. At worst, you may even cause permanent  
damage to the unit that renders it unusable. Consequently, Axis strongly recommends that inexperi-  
enced users DO NOT modify the file system.  
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  
• A description of the reduced PHP3 scripting language  
Configuration using FTP  
As an alternative to configuring the AXIS 2420 from a browser, the configuration  
parameters of your camera can be modified using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  
FTP is supported by most operating environments and is a useful method for quickly  
uploading standard pre-configurations to one or more cameras.

Custom Web Pages  
The AXIS 2420 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 these pages, 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.  
All files stored in the /etc/httpd/html directory are available through the product Web  
server in the virtual directory /local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html  
directory is http://IP/local/<filename>.htm  
You can change the html files as and when you like, but remember that the available flash  
memory is limited. The number of times the memory can be written to is approximately 1  
million.  
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 2420, as  
described below:  
Caution!  
Adding a new Web page to your AXIS 2420 is not something that should be undertaken lightly. Remem-  
ber: 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 2420, 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 lines 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 camera, by using the put command.  
6. Restart the camera.  
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!  
7. 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:

AXIS 2420 User’s Manual  
Updating the Firmware  
63  
Appendix E - Updating the Firmware  
The AXIS 2420 camera 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 that you can install firmware updates for your AXIS 2420 as soon as they  
become available - without having to replace any parts. New firmware can be simply  
loaded into the AXIS 2420 over the network.  
Obtaining Updated Firmware  
The latest version of the AXIS 2420 camera firmware is available free of charge from the  
Axis website at www.axis.com or from your local distributor.  
Upgrading  
The AXIS 2420 Flash memory is upgraded over the network using FTP. See the detailed  
instructions supplied with each new firmware release.  
Important!  
Always read the instructions available with each new release, prior to ugrading.  
Upgrading normally takes at least 30 seconds and up to 10 minutes, although it can take longer.  
After starting the process, you should always wait at least 20 minutes before power cycling the AXIS  
2420 - even if you suspect the upgrade procedure has failed.  
In controlled environments, flash memory upgrades provide a very safe method for updating firm-  
ware. However, flash products can become damaged if the upgrade operation is not performed cor-  
rectly. Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty upgrading by the  
user.

•2 x I/O Connectors (I/O-A and I/O-B)  
•1 x DC-Iris Connector  
•1 x BNC Video Output  
•1 x Ethernet network connector (RJ-45)  
The RS-232 Serial Connector  
In the absence of a local network connection, a single 9-pin D-sub connector provides a  
dedicated physical interface for connecting a modem or computer to the AXIS 2420. This  
RS-232 interface supports modem speeds of up to 115kbps and effectively allows the AXIS  
2420 to operate as a standalone unit independent of any computer network. So, when a  
local network connection is unavailable at the point of installation, you can simply  
connect your PC to this connector and use the supplied Null Modem Cable to initially  
configure your product. If you intend using the AXIS 2191 Audio Module with your  
network camera, then this is the connector to use.

This requires you to have root access to the AXIS 2420 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,  
available from the Axis Web at www.axis.com.  
Relay Output  
You can use the supported relay output to directly drive a maximum load of 24V AC/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.  
http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/  
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.  
http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:1000/  
Digital Input  
The digital input, programmed using the Application Wizard, allows the AXIS 2420 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 the Digital Input  
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 port 1  
http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/input.cgi?check=1  
The AXIS 2420 then displays the status of the input, as follows:  
Input 1 = 0

High-Speed Services

Appendix G - High-Speed Services  
The AXIS 2420 is designed with high-speed Internet services foremost in mind, and you  
will experience the full performance of your AXIS 2420 if you are fortunate enough to  
have xDSL or a cable modem connection. However, as most high-speed Internet services  
only provide you with one external IP address, there are some practical issues that should  
be considered when developing your application. This section discusses some of these  
issues.  
Available IP Addresses  
Ideally your ISP (Internet Service Provider) should supply you with several external, static  
IP addresses - in which case you can assign any one of these to your AXIS 2420 to make it  
fully accessible over the internet. If your ISP supplies you with only one IP number - which  
is usually the case - then this IP number is normally assigned to your PC. If your ISP is  
unable to provide you with an additional IP number, you still have a number of other  
options that you may like to consider, including:  
Windows 2000 NAT-feature (Network Address Translation):  
Utilize the NAT feature in Windows 2000 to allow multiple Ethernet cards in your PC. You  
then use one port for the Internet and the other for your internal network. Using this  
solution, you can let your AXIS 2420 upload image streams to your ISPs external Web  
server.  
Routers and Firewalls  
Another ideal solution is to use one of several small routers/firewalls that are currently  
available on the market. These provide the necessary NAT functionality and allow  
complete independence for your PC, which can be switched off or rebooted without  
affecting the image transmission from your AXIS 2420.  
WinGate Server Software:  
Running on a single Windows computer, this software allows multiple users simultaneous  
access to the Internet through a single connection; be it modem, ISDN or high speed line,  
such as xDSL or cable modem connection. You can thus effectively share 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 allow the  
administrator to change the IP bindings so that external requests may be routed  
specifically to your AXIS 2420 - running behind the WinGate software.

Sie die folgenden Anleitungen, um eine gute Basis-Scharfeinstellung Ihrer AXIS 2420 zu erzielen:  
Drehen Sie das Objektiv nun langsam in Rich-  
tung Fernfokus bis die Statusanzeige grün zeigt,  
d.h. eine gute Fokuseinstellung (>80%) erreicht ist.  
Schalten Sie die AXIS 2420 ein, und warten  
Sie mindestens 10 Sekunden.  
Stellen sie den Fokus der AXIS 2420 auf unendlich (F, •).  
Statusanzeige  
Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Browser-Anwen-  
dung zurück, und überprüfen Sie die  
Bildqualität. Wiederholen Sie Schritt 5  
nur, wenn Ihnen die Brennweite zu  
groß erscheint. Sie können ihn so oft  
wiederholen, bis Sie mit der Brennweite  
und der Scharfeinstellung zufrieden  
sind.  
Starten Sie den Fokusassis-  
tenten: Drücken Sie die Kon-  
trolltaste mit Hilfe eines  
spitzen Gegenstands und  
halten Sie diese gedrückt bis  
die Statusanzeige gelb blinkt.  
❸❸ Zum Verlassen des Assistenten für die Fokussierung drücken Sie die Kon-  
troll-Taste, bis die Statusanzeige gelb blinkt. Wenn der Assistent für die  
Fokussierung beendet ist, leuchtet die Statusanzeige grün.  
Drehen Sie das Objektiv

Description du Materiel  
Lisez les informations ci-dessous pour vous familiariser avec la caméra AXIS 2420, en  
portant particulièrement attention à lemplacement des connecteurs et des voyants. Ces  
informations constituent une référence utile lors de linstallation du produit.  
Panneau avant  
Voyant détat  
Utilisé conjointement avec l’assistant de mise au point, le voyant multicolore facilite la mise au point locale  
(voir la section Mise au point de votre caméra, à la page 90). Cependant, dans des conditions normales, ce  
voyant définit l’état opérationnel de la caméra, comme cela est décrit ci-dessous :  
vert - le voyant clignote brièvement et s’affiche momentanément en orange pendant les  
sous-programmes de mise en route et d’auto-test. Il doit ensuite normalement s’afficher en vert pour  
indiquer un état d’unité correct.  
rouge - le voyant ne s’affiche en rouge qu’en cas de problème de la caméra AXIS 2420. Reportez-vous  
à la section Appendix A - Troubleshooting.  
Remarque : L'indicateur d'état peut aussi clignoter lorsqu'une image est prise. Veuillez consulter l'aide en  
ligne pour plus d'informations.  
Bague de maintien

Fixez la bague de maintien  
sur le châssis. Ne réglez la  
bague de montage CS que si  
vous souhaitez régler le foyer  
arrière. Pour plus de détails,  
reportez-vous à la section  
Adjusting the Back Focus à la  
page 59.  
Utilisé pour la capture  
d’images, le capteur CCD  
est très sensible à la  
poussière ou à la saleté.  
Bague de montage CS  
Prend en charge tous les  
objectifs de type CS ou C  
(avec un adaptateur CS-C  
approprié).  
Numéro de série  
Situé sous la caméra  
AXIS 2420, le numéro  
de série est identique à  
l’adresse Ethernet de  
l’unité.  
Bouton Control  
Situé à gauche de l’objectif, ce bouton est placé en retrait dans le boîtier du produit.  
En vous aidant d’un objet pointu, appuyez sur ce bouton pour restaurer les paramètres  
d’usine par défaut, comme cela est décrit dans la section Restauration des paramètres  
dusine par défaut à la page 91, et pour activer l’assistant de mise au point, comme  
cela est décrit dans la section Using The Focus Assistant, à la page 55.  
Important!  
Si vous utilisez la caméra AXIS 2420 en extérieur, celle-ci doit être protégée dans un coffret étanche et  
équipée d’un objectif à diaphragme DC afin de réguler automatiquement la quantité de lumière entrant dans  
la caméra. Une exposition prolongée à la lumière directe du soleil ou à une lumière halogène endommage le  
capteur CCD. Axis vous recommande donc de faire très attention si vous installez votre produit dans un  
environnement très ensoleillé. Le non-respect de cette consigne peut entraîner l'annulation de la garantie de  
votre produit. L'AXIS 2420 W/Lens est fournit avec un objectif DC-Iris en standard.

atención en el lugar en el que están situados los conectores e indicadores. Esta sección  
proporciona una útil referencia cuando se instala el producto.  
Panel frontal  
Indicador de estado  
Utilizado junto con el asistente de foco, este indicador multicolor puede utilizarse como ayuda de  
enfoque local (consulte Enfocando la cámara en la página 100). Sin embargo, en condiciones  
normales, este indicador define el estado operativo de la cámara, según se describe a continuación:  
verde - el indicador destella brevemente y aparece momentáneamente en naranja durante las  
rutinas de inicio y autoevaluación. El indicador aparece luego en verde para indicar un estado de  
unidad correcto  
rojo - el indicador aparecerá en rojo sólo si se ha producido un problema en la AXIS 2420.  
Consulte Appendix A - Troubleshooting.  
Nota: El indicador de estado también puede iluminarse cuando las imágenes son mostradas en el  
Navegador. Consulte la ayuda online para mas información.

Número de serie  
Situado en la cara  
inferior de la AXIS  
2420, el número de  
serie es idéntico al de  
la dirección Ethernet  
de la unidad.  
Botón de control  
Situado a la izquierda del ensamblaje de la lente; este botón está incorporado en la  
caja del producto. Usando un objeto puntiagudo, pulse este botón para recuperar los  
parámetros de fábrica por defecto, tal y como se describe en Incluir los parámetros por  
defecto, en la página 101; y para habilitar el asistente de foco, tal y como se describe  
en Using The Focus Assistant, en la página 55.  
¡Importante!  
Si está utilizando la AXIS 2420 en una aplicación al aire libre, debe guardarla en una caja resistente a la  
intemperie y equiparse con una lente DC-Iris para regular automáticamente la cantidad de luz que entra en  
la cámara. La exposición prolongada a la luz solar o a luz halógena directa dañará el CCD. Por consiguiente,  
Axis recomienda extremar las precauciones cuando instale el producto bajo una luz solar fuerte. De no  
hacerlo así, la garantía del producto puede quedar anulada. La AXIS 2420 W/Lens es suministrada con una  
lente DC-iris.
