Axis Internet Camera
The Axis Internet Camera module provides an interface to the Axis camera series. This module is
similar to the HTTP Read in that it reads images over the Internet but
also provides an easier interface
to the
camera adjustment capabilities of the Axis cameras. Note that when accessing cameras over
the Internet there can be significant delays between the image capture time and viewing time.
