Axis Communications 215 PTZ Security Camera User Manual


 
RELIABLE, DISCREET SURVEILLANCE
AXIS 215 PTZ is a day and night camera that offers pan/tilt/
zoom control over IP networks. AXIS 215 PTZ has a compact,
tamper-proof design providing protection against tampering
as all moving parts are inside the casing.
This versatile camera
is the perfect choice for indoor environments
such as shops,
receptions, banks and other facilities, where you need both
an overview and the possibility to zoom in for detailed
inspections.
48X MAGNIFICATION
The total magnification capacity of 48x increases the monitoring
options with the ability to show a detailed and precise view of
the zoomed in area.
DAY & NIGHT FUNCTIONALITY
With automatic day/night functionality, light sensitive
CCD and removable IR filter, this camera
provides perfect color images when
there is sufficient light, and high
quality black/white video in dark
conditions.
AUDIO DETECTION ALARM
The two-way audio support allows remote users not only to
view but also listen in on an area, picking up unusual sounds
from suspicious activity and communicating with visitors or
intruders. Axis’ audio enabled video products are capable of
sending an alarm at a configurable audio detection level. The
camera can be redirected to fixed, preset positions when there
is an alarm.
SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY
SIMULTANEOUS MOTION JPEG AND MPEG-4
AXIS 215 PTZ offers simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG.
Video streams can be optimized for image quality and band-
width efficiency by configuration of frame rate, resolution,
compression level and format – offering up to 30 frames per
second in 4CIF resolution.
ADVANCED PTZ CONTROL
AXIS 215 PTZ enables advanced remote monitoring with pan,
tilt and zoom through operator control over the IP network.
With high speed and high precision movement between presets,
AXIS 215 PTZ can follow a person at distance or quickly pan/
tilt to a preset postition. A Joystick can be used to control the
PTZ movements.
AUTO-FLIP
Traditional PTZ cameras have a mechanical stop that prevents
the cameras’ circular movement making it impossible to follow
a person walking in a full circle around the camera. Thanks to
the Auto-flip functionality developed by Axis, AXIS 215 PTZ
can instantly flip the camera head 180 degrees and continue
to pan beyond its zero point. The camera can then continue to
follow a passing person or object, regardless of the direction.
E-FLIP
When a person passes below the camera, the image will be
upside-down after 90 degrees tilt. With other PTZ camera
models, the operator must rotate the image 180 degrees but
with the E-flip functionality, AXIS 215 PTZ can automatically
flip the image electronically 180 degrees, and continue to
follow the person in the correct orientation, without delay.
