AXIS 241 Video Servers

Full-featured, digital benefits for analog surveillance systems

The AXIS 241 Video Servers are designed to migrate your analog systems to high performance, IP-based solutions, ideal for professional surveillance and remote monitoring applications.

The 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.

AXIS 241QA and SA models offer a de-interlace filter that eliminates interlace artifacts from NTSC/PAL cameras. In addition, they provide one audio stream in each direction, enabling users to not only see, but also listen in on an area and communicate requests or orders.

For surveillance installations that require many AXIS 241Q/S, blade versions of the video servers are available for use with the AXIS Rack Solution.
