Section 5: Using the AXIS 200
AXIS 200 User’s Manual

External Web Sites
When using the AXIS 200 over the Internet, we recommend that it is
accessed over an assisting web server and not directly. This is because
the AXIS 200 has limited capacity for handling the extra amount of
buffering that might be required.
Note:
❏ You can use the CRON script facility to collect snapshots
periodically. See “CRON Script” on page 39.
If your web site does not have heavy traffic, it is possible to use the
URL directly to the AXIS 200. However, this has three main
drawbacks:
• Your AXIS 200 may be located on the other side of a firewall.
• The AXIS 200 cannot handle more than 5 simultaneous requests.
• Generating large files, such as the

, is very time
consuming. If used with a CRON script, the delay will not be
noticed.
