The Point to Point Protocol (PPP) support allows you to use your AXIS
ISP and Modem -
2110 remotely over a serial link, just as if it were located on your local network. Initially
setting up the unit using a computer connected by the supplied Null Modem cable, you can
quickly configure the unit for remote use using an external modem; whereby your video
images can even be uploaded to your preferred Internet Service Provider (ISP) to allow
global access to your live images from any browser on the Internet. Select any of the
supported ISPs in the Web-based Wizards, or use your own ISP as storage for your live
images.
The AXIS 2110 includes a self-contained Web server, which means that digital

whether individuals, groups, the whole company or the whole world may access your
camera. The AXIS 2110 supports multi-user password protection.
