Axis video encoders integrate easily into your existing analog CCTV system. A video encoder
(also referred to as video server) digitizes analog video signals and distributes digital images
directly over an IP-based network (e.g. LAN/intranet/Internet), turning analog cameras into
network cameras. Users can view live images from a video management software application
or a web browser on any networked computer, anywhere and at any time. With Axis video
encoders, you get all the benefits that digital technology offers while protecting your existing
analog investment.
