Okay Sup Forums I got a challenge for you. You must figure out what kind of tech this is, what cables it needs, and what programs you need to run it with it only turning on by motion activation.
I'll offer some hints if you want, but to be honest I don't know what I have here myself.
I know nothing about softwear or hardwear like this. All I know is its old, I dont know what the hell I'm dealing with. Ive looked around the web, I've asked people I know and nobody seems to know much about it. Figured you nerdy fucks might know something more than me on the subject.
> Looks like all you need is a serial cable, an ethernet cord and a 9 or 12 V power brick.
Thats part of the struggle figuring this thing out, I dont know of a way to know how much power it needs for the power brick. As for software, I havnt have a clue of what would run it.
WWW axis dot com And Google.com will help you without the harsh comments. All the info you need is printed on the camera itself. Use that info in the aforementioned websites and you should be able to figure out the rest.... Hopefully!

>I have no clue what P/N even means I'm afraid the setup process of this IP Camera is way beyond your skillset, OP. Just give it to someone who can use it.
Xavier Ross
>Just give it to someone who can use it Nigga done snatched it clean off, doubt its any useful without the stand
so i know the s/n may be the serial number, just dont know what p/n means.
I have, its just I dont know what I need on my computer to run this thing. I also asked encase there is something not listed on the website that users of this tech know. Either way, I got the website on another tab.
>Still complains about not knowing what P/N means instead of fucking googling it Yeah go fuck yourself OP
David Davis
It didnt come with a stand when I was given it. It was bolted into the ceiling using another stand for that purpose before the person replaced it with a newer model. I'm as white as they come, I'm no criminal
>network >display Have you even tried just plugging it in and see what happens. I mean obviously it's not plug and play but surely it's using some standardized software. I doubt a company like this would just make their own software for this, but I could be wrong.

>steampunk shit >encase never post again

try plugging in a network cable and powering it on and doing a host discovery to see if it picks up an address from your network.
Carter Evans
I googled it after I posted the image, its the Part Number I'm not an idiot.
> Have you even tried just plugging it in and see what happens
Unable to power it up until I figure out what voltage it requires.
Nicholas Nelson
>Unable to power it up until I figure out what voltage it requires. nigger just stop
Zachary Robinson
>Unable to power it up until I figure out what voltage it requires. read the fucking documentation you utter fucking moron
Dylan Parker
Start with 5 as usually that is the lowest, if it dosent power on, step up to 9 or 12.
Anthony Adams
Then only god can help you if you haven't worked that out by now.
Christopher Watson
Good idea user. I'll try that, just gotta order some power bricks.
Until then, I'm unable to power it on to see whats loaded on this thing.
The psu connector probably needs to be negative on the outside A lamp should light up on the camera if it works After that, read this: axis.com/files/userguide/2100/2100ug.pdf
John Adams
Is it required to have this run? Or would the other connection do?
Right to left: power serial cable if you want to use/setup your camera from a pc and not the network. optional general purpose cable connector, read the manual you retard it's written there what it could be used for. optional LAN connector for network cable
Listen, OP is a fucking retard and won't read the manual no matter how many times you tell him to. He's just waiting for you to spoonfeed him (which you've been doing for a while now) Please just stop posting in this thread already, let him read the manual and figure it out for himself. You have no right to complain if you're still giving him information and bumping the thread.
Nathaniel Moore
Ran into one problem user, the cable i thought it needed (the one next to the power) doesnt fit.
I'm unsure how to connect this to my pc now.
Its not the bluer one, so I'm unsure what to do from here. Anyone know the right cable or whats it called or looks like?
I'm readning the menuel right now, I just havnt found the cable section yet in the PDF.
>serial cable So i tried it, but it doesnt quiet fit. Guess my serial cable needs another end on it to fit, do you happen to know what that part is called/looks like? As when i google the term serial cable it looks like what i already have.
Scratch that, i found my issue. I need the reciving part of the cable. The one i have is a double ended one so i dont have the right connection. I may ask the wife when shes gets back from work if she has a spare laying around. Unless i can find it, its delaying me checking this thing out.

These are the kind of people we share the board with. Why can't they fuck off to lainchan already?
Camden Carter
But lainchan IS good
Joseph Adams
Do you mean the arrogant cunts who tell op hes too dumb to into electronics without any actual support/try to derail the thread or the op who didnt read the manual?
Andrew Bailey
Op here, I did read the manual after it was posted, I just didnt find the info fast enough before people started bitching.
I made progress, its lite up, but sadly I just dont have the blue cable I need to connect it to my PC. The power brick, works and I'm just missing one bloody cable.
Well since you covered the serial and product number, the best I can do is the bar code, which looks like the MAC address: 00:40:8C:64:AF:49. At least we know it's really Axis, right?
Evan Long
As people said, you need to plug in a network cable into the port on the left of the back. Not a serial one.
Colton Butler
>muh safespace This is not a board for tech illiterate or tech support. Read the rules and FAQ before posting.
Luis Perry
Well since i plan to never have this thing connected online, heres the uncensored one.
I didnt look at it much before the edit, just wanted to cover my bases encase i looked something over wrong.
>I know nothing about softwear or hardwear like this and you'll never know if you don't do research, you dumb, illiterate fuck
Adrian Cooper
>As people said, you need to plug in a network cable into the port on the left of the back. Not a serial one. But didnt someone say that its optional if you just plan to use it with a PC and not a network?
Yeah it seems this post explained it. I dont think the network cable is mandatory since i plan to just hook it to a normal PC
Wyatt Robinson
All the serial cable does is emulate a small and slow network You still haven't really read the manual How the fuck do people like you even survive? I've had enough
Kevin White
>All the serial cable does is emulate a small and slow network So what? If i can use a serial cable, I'm gonna use it. are you trying to say it isnt required? It kinda is if im plugging it into a computer user.
Unless you mean I can use an enternet cable and just power for it....i dont think its helpful.
Lastly im reading the manual, i just6 havnt read 100% of it yet.
>Well you can, since it's a network camera Yeah, but I dont want to put my camera on any internet connection. I'm just trying to use it on an offline PC. Since ive seen how easy people can view these cameras online, there is even some site that shows the unprotected ones.
Nigger. It literally says "network camera". Aka: a webcam. It requires an RJ45 ended network cable, dc power input, and a serial cable. Next time Google shit before making a thread, and even then go to the stupid questions thread because you're retarded. I bet you don't know these ports because you're underage.
Ryder Thomas
>I bet you don't know these ports because you're underage. Oh shit man ive been found out, im sooo underage being 27....fuck off nigga. Nobody can be "underage" to use old tech, faggot.
>Nobody can be "underage" to use old tech, faggot. Your new is showing.
Please return to reddit.
Eli Roberts
What the fuck OP. I didn't know people with an IQ under 40 could even manage to type. It's a fucking NETWORK CAMERA It needs to be connected to a NETWORK NETWORK CAMERA NETWORK IT WON'T WORK OVER SERIAL (Which for some fucking reason despite it having only nine pins and having everyone tell you it's fucking serial you still think it's VGA) THE SERIAL PORT IS FOR CONTROL YOU NEED TO CONNECT IT TO A NETWORK IT ONLY OUTPUTS A PICTURE THROUGH THE NETWORK PORT NETWORK CAMERA NEEDS A NETWORK
Brayden Campbell
plz leave
1. you could have googled any of the fucking numbers on it to get manuals for it. Even googling 20876r2 gets you enough info to find even MORE data on it, easily enough to work out how it works 2. unironically namefagging 3. Sup Forums is not your personal tech support 4. I'm 27 and you are making me ashamed of my generation right now 5. Sup Forums is not your personal tech support for fuck's sake read the sticky and fuck off
are you a legitimate retard, it's a goddamn serial-controlled network camera and I literally could have told you that without googling anything by using my fucking brain
Michael Nelson
>THE SERIAL PORT IS FOR CONTROL This is new info. Control? like what, turning it? Or just settings?
> YOU NEED TO CONNECT IT TO A NETWORK
can that be offline? >IT ONLY OUTPUTS A PICTURE THROUGH THE NETWORK PORT
user your caps-lock seems to be broken, maybe its time for a new keyboard?
I'm not checking if he's a Pajeet. He's been calling us "niggas" the entire thread, is phoneposting and doesn't know how to read or write. The item this thread is about looks like it was ripped off of its mount, and he doesn't want either to show the serial number or to connect it to the internet, which raises some suspicion about it being stolen. I was just curious about OP's ethnicity, but yeah: Looks like he's just clinically retarded. Listen OP, you can go to the doctor and get your mental disability checked out, you might get some help from the government for your condition, since you're not black.
Jaxson Edwards
... boy that number is literally on the fucking camera that you physically have
how the fuck are you less observant than someone who took a glance at your shitty pictures and googled the first text they saw
also calling it something else doesn't make it not tech support you fucking assclown
"aw nah officer that's not my bong it's just a water-containing smoking implement for herbs and tobacco"
Matthew Edwards
>He's been calling us "niggas" the entire thread, is phoneposting and doesn't know how to read or write. Part of this is just bait. I'm not on a phone, I'm on a computer just using a phone to take pictures.
Finally, > he doesn't want either to show the serial number or to connect it to the internet,
Check the thread, i posted the serial number, the censoring at the start was just some bait m8.
Anyway, if you are an user of their word, reply to the questions. Come on, dont let me down, all this is a bit of fun, bait, and some honest questions. I had to make it interesting.
>it's just bait I was just pretending to be retarded
Easton Davis
OP, I should say you gave me hopes for the future. A future where the USA dies completely and becomes another Africa, only exploited for its natural resources and used by (((weapon companies))) to profit off some fake wars they themselves created. Thanks for being retarded and refusing every single bit of help, OP. Thanks for being a true American.
