AXIS 210/211 - Product Features
Product Features
The AXIS 210 and the AXIS 211 are part of the latest generation of fully featured Axis
Network Cameras, all based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip. The AXIS 211
features a DC-Iris and support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). All instructions and
information in this manual are valid for both cameras unless otherwise stated.
The video streams from the cameras are made available on the network as real-time, full
frame rate Motion JPEG and/or MPEG-4 video streams. The cameras include Video Motion
Detection, which can be used to trigger e.g. image uploads when there is activity in the
video image. Uploads can also be scheduled to run at specified times. Security features
include IP address filtering and multilevel password protection.
The cameras are equipped with an alarm input and an output, which can be connected to
various external devices, e.g. door sensors and alarm bells.
Video can be viewed in various different resolutions. Up to 20 viewers can access a camera
simultaneously when using Motion JPEG. If MPEG-4 multicast is used, the number of
viewers is unlimited, but each viewer still needs a separate MPEG-4 decoder license. There
is one license included in the product, and additional licenses can be purchased separately.
The cameras have their own built-in web server, providing full access to all features
through the use of a standard web browser. The built-in scripting tool allows the creation
of basic applications. For advanced functionality, the cameras can be accessed via the
AXIS HTTP API (more info at www.axis.com/developer).
