Section 1 Introduction
The AXIS 240 Camera Server
The AXIS 240 Camera Server connects video cameras to Ethernet
networks. The AXIS 240 can service up to 4 coax/BNC cameras and
one S-video camera.
With its built-in web server, it provides an easy and cost-effective
solution for interactive surveillance and remote monitoring. Images
can be captured and distributed over the local network or Internet
using a standard Web browser.
Traditional surveillance systems often limit camera access to a specific
monitor i.e. the control room. However, the AXIS 240 can be used for
both industrial and security operations over a secure intranet system,
or allow open access via the Internet. This means that you can monitor
operations remotely from within the comfort of your own home,
headquarters, or indeed from any workstation of your choosing that
supports a Web browser.
