AXIS 241 Video Servers
Full-featured digital benefits for analog surveillance systems

AXIS 241 Video Servers from the market leader in network video, are designed to migrate your analog investments into high-performance IP solutions, ideal for surveillance and remote monitoring.

The AXIS 241 Video Servers accommodate one or four analog video streams depending on the model. System integration and network utilization are optimized with sophisticated functions such as built-in motion detection, SNMP and simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 streams. Powerful event management tools include image upload, alarm notification and I/O control. Pan/tilt/zoom control is done over the serial port, enabling PTZ and dome camera handling over the network.

A complete set of security features, including multiple user access levels, HTTPS encryption and IP address filtering, ensure secure video handling and configuration.

• High quality, de-interlaced video at 30/25 frames per second per channel

• Simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 streams in resolutions up to 768x576

• Video motion detection and pre/post-alarm buffer

• Support for PTZ and dome cameras

• HTTPS encryption for network security
