AXIS 230 MPEG-2 Network Camera
Live, full resolution MPEG-2 video over your network

The AXIS 230 MPEG-2 Network Camera is a high quality video camera that delivers 25/30 frames per second of DVD quality video with synchronized audio over an IP network. It uses less bandwidth compared to equal Motion JPEG video, and provides the user with controllable constant bit rate. This makes it ideal for high-end security usage, such as traffic monitoring, casinos and airports, where high quality full frame rate video and quality audio are of vital importance.

This IR sensitive camera is based around a color camera block with built-in 18x optical zoom lens, day/night functionality (color image during daytime, black and white image during night time) and one way audio (from camera to viewer). It compresses video and audio into standard MPEG-2 and makes this available over the network supporting both uni- and multicast. For customers requiring Pan/Tilt control, it is also equipped with built-in support for RS232/485 and comes complete with support for a selected range of Pan/Tilt heads.
