AXIS 210/211/211A - Product Features
Product Features
The AXIS 210, AXIS 211 and AXIS 211A are part of the latest generation of fully featured
Axis Network Cameras, all based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip. The AXIS 211
and AXIS 211A both feature a DC-Iris and support Power over Ethernet. In addition, the
AXIS 211A supports two-way audio. All the instructions and information in this manual
are valid for all three cameras unless otherwise stated.
The video streams from the cameras are made available on the network as real-time, full
frame rate Motion JPEG streams and/or full frame rate 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, and the AXIS 211A supports audio for up to 10
users. If MPEG-4 multicast is used, the number of viewers is unlimited, but each viewer
needs a separate MPEG-4 decoder license. There is one license included in the product,
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).
