5 AXIS 221 - Product Features
Product Features
The AXIS 221 is part of the latest generation of fully featured Axis Network Cameras,
based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip. It features a DC-Iris and supports Power
over Ethernet. It also features a metal casing and an infrared (IR) filter for day and night
operation.
Video from the camera is made available on the network as a real-time, full frame rate
Motion JPEG stream and/or MPEG-4 video stream. The camera includes Video Motion
Detection, which can be used to trigger e.g. image uploads when there is activity in the
video image. Uploads can also be scheduled to run at specified times. Security features
include IP address filtering, encrypted browsing with HTTPS and multilevel password
protection.
The AXIS 221 is equipped with two alarm inputs and one output, which can be connected
to various external devices, e.g. door sensors and alarm bells.
Video can be viewed in various different resolutions. Up to 20 viewers can access the AXIS
221 simultaneously when using Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 unicast. The number of
simultaneous viewers can be increased by using multicast MPEG-4.
Each MPEG-4 viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license, of which one is
included. Additional licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis dealer. If using
other clients to view the MPEG-4 video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder licenses are
required.
The camera has a built-in Web server, providing full access to all features through the use
of a standard web browser. The built-in scripting tool allows the creation of basic
applications. For advanced functionality, the camera can be accessed via the AXIS HTTP
API (more info at www.axis.com/developer).
