AXIS 2420 User’s Manual An Introduction to the AXIS 2420 7
Outdoor Use - The AXIS 2420 is a professional product including full DC-iris control and is
shipped either without a lens (AXIS 2420) or with a DC-Iris varifocal lens (AXIS 2420
W/Lens). Both variants can alternatively be fitted with any standard C-CS type lens.
Installed into an appropriate outdoor housing, the camera makes an ideal remote
monitoring tool for outdoor use. Follow the accessories links for information on
appropriate outdoor casings for the AXIS 2420 on our Website at www.axis.com.
Motion Detection - Sophisticated motion detection with in-picture alarm programming, and
multi-window triggering for professional remote monitoring over TCP/IP networks, or via
a modem.
Standard Image Format - In professional surveillance applications it’s often critical for every
recorded image to be of a high quality. That’s why, in contrast to many inferior solutions
that simply store image changes from one frame to another, the AXIS 2420 delivers up to
25/30 (PAL/NTSC) full, high-quality frames per second. Your pictures can be viewed using
any standard browser and the data integrity of your recorded images is always assured.
Image Updating - The on-board AXIS ETRAX 100-LX processor combined with the
revolutionary AXIS ARTPEC-1 Real Time Picture Encoder provides an amazing
power-synergy to deliver up to 25/30 frames/second over 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks.
High Compression - The AXIS ARTPEC chip affords both an efficient and variable ratio of
JPEG image compression that can be defined by the user.
Analog or Digital - The AXIS 2420 includes a standard BNC video output which means that
apart from a connection over a modem or network, you can simultaneously connect the
AXIS 2420 to any analog CCTV system. That gives you simultaneous video imaging over
diverse surveillance systems.
External Device Connection - Supporting RS-232 and RS-485 communication protocols, the
AXIS 2420 includes the physical interfaces for connecting a variety of external devices;
such as, Pan/Tilt/Zoom devices, doorbells, switches and alarm relays. Develop your own
PHP-based programing scripts for creating a variety of security applications triggered on
time or alarm-based events. You can even drive annunciators and other audible alarm
devices using the relay output.
Wide Range of Applications - The AXIS 2420 offers live video over internet networks and the
Internet, and is ideal for use with many of today’s high-speed internet services. Allowing
remote access directly from your Web browser, you can view live images, manage, and
control the AXIS 2420 at any time and from anywhere. The AXIS 2420´s sophisticated
features make it the ideal tool for intruder detection, industrial process control, public
surveillance, visual security, and image archiving applications.
