FEATURES
Axis 241S Video Server Blade- Single 1 Channel, Motion JPEG Video, 100/120 (4CIF) Total Frame Rate, VMD, 4 Inputs/4 Outputs, PTZ support, HTTPS, NO audio support. For use in AXIS Video Server Rack. Each blade is shipped with connector kit, installation guide for video server rack and the respective video server manual. The AXIS 241Q/S is ideal for security surveillance and demanding remote monitoring needs. It can be integrated with other systems such as access control and intrusion detection. The AXIS 241 Video Servers are designed for professional surveillance applications. They provide easy integration with traditional analog systems, ensuring a smooth migration toward an IP solution. The AXIS 241Q and AXIS 241S Video Servers digitize analog video into crisp, real-time Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams at full frame rate for professional video surveillance and remote monitoring. Combining your analog camera investments with a network video solution gives you a flexible and cost-effective solution with plenty of room for growth. With an open standard interface, the AXIS 241 Video Servers support a large base of existing applications and integrate easily with new ones. The AXIS 241 offers advanced event handling with video motion detection, I/O control and alarm notification. Pan/tilt/zoom cameras may be connected to the units serial port and are easily controlled from a user interface. Security features include multiple user access levels with password protection, IP address filtering and HTTPS encryption. The AXIS 241Q can connect up to four analog cameras and transmit digital video from all four channels simultaneously via an Ethernet connection. The AXIS 241S has one analog video input and one video loop-through port for an analog monitor, in addition to an Ethernet connection.
