AXIS 241Q/241S - Product Description
Product Description
The AXIS 241Q/241S is a fully featured video server for security surveillance and remote
monitoring needs. Based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip, it can digitize up to 4
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 241Q has 4 BNC inputs for analog video devices and the AXIS 241S has 1 BNC
input and a matching loop-through output. The AXIS 241S can also accommodate Y/C
video using an Y/C to BNC cable (not included).
The AXIS 241Q/241S is equipped with RS-232 and RS-485 ports for the connection of
third party PTZ systems. It also has 4 alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs, which can be used
to connect various third party devices, e.g. door sensors and alarm bells.
Up to 20 viewers can access the camera simultaneously when using Motion JPEG and
MPEG-4 unicast. If MPEG-4 multicast is used, the number of viewers is unlimited, but
when viewing with the AXIS Media Control (AMC), each viewer still needs a separate
MPEG-4 decoder license. The AXIS 241Q/241S includes one such decoder license.
Additional licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis dealer. If using other
clients to view the video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder licenses are required.
Video can be viewed in 5 resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image compression is configurable.
The 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 241Q/241S 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 241Q/241S has a built-in web server, providing full access to all features
through the use of a standard 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 HTTP API (see www.axis.com/developer).
