Product Description
The AXIS 240Q is a fully featured video server for security surveillance and remote
monitoring needs. Based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip, it can digitize up to 4
analog video sources and make these available on the network as real-time Motion JPEG
video streams, at a maximum frame rate of 5 (PAL) or 6 (NTSC) frames per second.
Video can be viewed in 5 resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image compression is configurable.
Up to 20 viewers can access the video server simultaneously.
The AXIS 240Q is equipped with RS-232 and RS-485 ports for the connection of third
party PTZ devices. It also has 4 alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs, which can be used to
connect various third party devices, e.g. door sensors, alarm bells, etc.
The AXIS 240Q also contains support for video motion detection, which allows the unit to
trigger on activity in the video image, and advanced scheduling tools that can also be used
to trigger an event. As the video server is designed for use in security systems, it is
equipped with several security features, such as HTTPS, IP address filtering and multiple
user levels with passwords.
The AXIS 240Q has a built-in web server, providing full access to all features through the
use of a standard browser. The built-in scripting tool allows the creation of basic
applications, providing basic surveillance solutions.
For advanced functionality, the video server is easy to integrate through the use of the
AXIS HTTP API (see www.axis.com/developer).
