AXIS 242S IV Video Server
Intelligent video & audio analysis inside

The AXIS 242S IV Video Server is a one channel video server, equipped with a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments. This gives unique possibilities for executing advanced embedded applications such as people counting, trip wire detection and other advanced Intelligent Video solutions. Tailor-made Intelligent Video applications for retail, transportation and security can also be downloaded to the AXIS 242S IV for high-demanding video and audio analysis.

All the analyses are done on site, inside the video server, making the scalability infinite. It is capable of handling both video and audio analyses, and includes sophisticated functions such as built-in motion detection and powerful event management.

The AXIS 242S IV Video Server delivers high quality video at 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per second with a de-interlace filter which improves image quality in the highest resolution (4CIF). This feature eliminates the motion blur problems caused by the analog video signal. In addition, the video server is equipped with a complete set of security features, including multiple user access levels, HTTPS encryption and IP address filtering.
