AXIS 241Q/241S - Product description
Product description
This manual covers the following Axis video servers:
• AXIS 241Q: 4-port video server (and blade version)
• AXIS 241S: 1-port video server (and blade version)
The Axis video server is fully
featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring
needs. It is based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip, and can digitize up to four
analog video sources and make these available on the network as real-time, full frame rate
Motion JPEG and/or MPEG-4 video streams.
The Axis video server is equipped with RS-2
32 and RS-485 ports for connecting third
party PTZ systems. The four alarm inputs and four alarm outputs can be used to connect
various third party devices, such as, door sensors and alarm bells.
Up to 20 viewers can access the Axis video server simultaneously when
using Motion
JPEG and MPEG-4 unicast. This number can be increased by using multicast MPEG-4.
When using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view MPEG-4 video streams, each MPEG-4
viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license. One license is included, and further
licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis dealer. If using other clients to view
the MPEG-4 video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder licenses are required.
Video can be viewed in 5 resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image com
pression is configurable.
The Axis video server contains support for video motion detection, which allows the unit
to trigger on activity in the video image, and advanced scheduling tools which can also be
used to trigger an event. As the Axis video server is designed for use in security systems, it
is equipped with several security features, such as IP address filtering, several user levels
with passwords, and HTTPS.
The Axis video server has a built-in web
server, providing full access to all features
through the use of a standard web browser. The built-in scripting tool allows basic
applications to be created, providing basic surveillance solutions. For advanced
functionality, the video server can be integrated via the use of the AXIS VAPIX API (see
www.axis.com/developer for further information).
