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!
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.
• 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.
