6AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA - Product description

AXIS 241QA

The AXIS 241QA provides 4 BNC inputs for connecting analog video devices.

The AXIS 241QA also provides a Line/Microphone In (mono) connector for connecting an external microphone or other source, producing a line level signal. An active speaker with a built-in amplifier can be connected to Line Out (mono), to enable two-way communication. Audio communication can be bi-directional (full-duplex), push to talk (half-duplex) or in one direction only (simplex).
