AXIS 2400 Video Server
The compre-
hensive single
box solution
for realtime
digital video
transmission.
Delivering extremely high quality Motion-JPEG images with a frame rate of
up to 30 frames/second, the AXIS 2400 video server represents a performance
technology breakthrough that revolutionizes CCTV and video surveillance
systems. It provides a comprehensive single box solution for video transmission
over any data network including local and wide area networks and even over
the Internet. Connecting directly to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networks, it
enables any computer to view live video images from hundreds of video servers -
without the hassles normally associated with digital video transmission.
Ease of Use
The AXIS 2400 video server is installed in an instant – users simply connect
their video sources, attach the video server to a network, assign it a network
address and it is networked. The only viewing software needed is the freely
available Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Axis´ true Web-
based administration tools include several user-sensitive guides, allowing users
to quickly tailor-design their application. They can choose from several
application pre-configurations: quad, guard tour, pre/post alarm storage and
Pan/Tilt/Zoom control are but a few of the built-in features available.
Wide Range of Applications
The application possibilities for the AXIS 2400 video server are limitless: remote
monitoring, security systems, alarms verification, traffic surveillance, railway
monitoring, airports, banks, manufacturing plants, process monitoring, remote
image archiving, remote administration, shops, gas stations, car parks, and much
more.
Cost-effective
Users can enhance their existing CCTV systems with an AXIS 2400 video
server and instantly have a state-of-the-art remote monitoring system – no
expensive software, dedicated monitors or expensive coax cabling is required.
All that is needed is a standard PC with network access.
Open Standards
Based on worldwide standards, the AXIS 2400 video server seamlessly connects
to a whole range of different Ethernet devices, such as Wireless Ethernet and
Ethernet to ISDN, PSTN, xDSL or cable modem routers. This open standard
approach to design gives the freedom to choose optimal transmission media for
the specific application.
Speed and Quality
The AXIS 2400 video server is based on the industry’s first dedicated digital
video surveillance compression chip, ARTPEC-1, and the ETRAX 100, a
processor optimized for Ethernet networks - both developed by Axis. The
design-synergy yielded by this advanced chipset technology provides a cost-
effective solution that delivers up to 30 high-quality images per second over
10/100 Mbps networks.
