System Options

Security - Users

User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on the first access. Other users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below.

Users - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:

•Viewer - the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page.

•Operator - an Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems Options configuration pages.

•Administrator - an administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can determine the registration of all other users.

To add a new user, click the Add... button and see the online help.

User Settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:

•Enable anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.

•Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.)

•Enable anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls on the Live View page.

Security - IP Address Filter

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address ranges or single IP addresses to the Filtered IP Addresses list. If IP address filtering is enabled, the AXIS 214 PTZ will allow or deny requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.

See the online help files for information on how to add IP address ranges.

The IP addresses for the users added to this list need to be specified in the user list, with the appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).

Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the AXIS 214 PTZ into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)

AXIS 214 PTZ specifications

Axis Communications, a pioneer in network video solutions, has made significant strides with the release of its AXIS 214 PTZ camera. This robust camera is designed for professional applications requiring remote pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, providing excellent versatility and control in surveillance scenarios.

One of the standout features of the AXIS 214 PTZ is its ability to deliver high-quality video with a resolution of up to 720x480 pixels. This ensures that users are able to capture clear and detailed footage, which is essential for effective monitoring and incident identification. The camera also has a wide dynamic range, allowing it to perform well in varying lighting conditions, which can often be a challenge in outdoor settings.

The PTZ function allows users to control the camera's movement remotely, making it possible to monitor large areas with just one device. It can pan a full 360 degrees and has a tilt range that enables it to cover a significant vertical span. Coupled with a 10x optical zoom, users can focus in on specific details, whether it be a facial recognition task, reading a license plate, or just monitoring activity in a specific area.

In terms of connectivity, the AXIS 214 PTZ is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling both power and data to be transmitted over a single cable. This simplifies installation and can reduce installation costs, as the need for separate power sources is eliminated.

Axis’s proprietary technologies enhance the AXIS 214 PTZ's functionality. The camera features Axis’ Zipstream technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage consumption without compromising video quality. This is particularly beneficial for users managing multiple cameras across large facilities, as it helps to efficiently store and retrieve crucial footage.

Moreover, the camera is designed with weather resistance in mind. With an IP66 rating, it can withstand tough environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use. This durability means users can rely on it in various weather scenarios, from rain to extreme temperatures.

In summary, the Axis Communications AXIS 214 PTZ is a feature-rich surveillance solution that combines high-quality imaging, remote control capabilities, efficient power management, and resilient construction. Its advanced functionalities make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance security and monitoring in diverse settings.
