AXIS 221 - Product Features 5
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. The AXIS 221 features a DC-Iris and supports Power over Ethernet. The AXIS 221 has a metal casing and an infrared (IR) filter so it can operate day and night.
The video from the camera is made available on the network as a real-time, full frame rate Motion JPEG stream and/or full frame rate 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 camera simultaneously when using Motion JPEG. If MPEG-4 multicast is used, the number of viewers is unlimited, but each viewer needs a separate MPEG-4 license. There is one license included in the product, additional licenses can be purchased separately.
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).
The AXIS 221 features a varifocal lens with DC-Iris, which automatically regulates the amount of light entering the camera. Tele/wide and focus are adjusted manually with the aid of the pullers mounted on the lens. The AXIS 221 is also available without a lens.
