• AXIS 210A
•
AXIS 211A
All instructions and information in this manual are valid for both

Product features
The AXIS 210A/211A cameras are based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip. Both
models support the following features:
• Video streams from the camera available
on the network as real-time, full frame
rate, Motion JPEG and/or MPEG-4 video streams.
• Video Motion Detection - this can be used to
trigger image uploads when there is
activity in the video image.
• Scheduled image uploads.
• IP address filtering and multi-level password protectio
n.
• Alarm input and output, which can be connected to various external devices,
such as door
sensors and alarm bells.
• Multiple video resolutions.
• Simultaneous access by up to 20 viewers 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 license. One license is included in the product, additional
licenses can be purchased separately.
• Privacy masking allows the concealment of parts of the image that should not
be
viewable. Up to three areas can be configured as masked areas.
• Built-in web server that provides full access
to all features via a standard web
browser.
• Built-in scripting tool that allows the creation of basic
applications. For advanced
functionality, the cameras can be accessed via VAPIX®, Axis Communications’
powerful API (more info at www.axis.com/developer).
