AXIS 243Q Blade - Product description 7

Up to 20 viewers can access each video input on the AXIS 243Q Blade simultaneously when using Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 unicast. The number of simultaneous viewers can be increased by using multicast MPEG-4. When using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view MPEG-4 video streams, each MPEG-4 viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license. One license is included, and further licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis dealer. If using other clients to view the MPEG-4 video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder licenses are required.

Video can be viewed in five resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image compression is configurable. The AXIS 243Q Blade contains support for video motion detection, which allows the unit to trigger activity in the video image, and advanced scheduling tools which can also be used to trigger an event. As the AXIS 243Q Blade is designed for use in security systems, it is equipped with several security features, such as IP address filtering, user levels with passwords, and HTTPS.

Each video input on the AXIS 243Q Blade 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 basic applications to be created, providing basic surveillance solutions. For advanced functionality, the video server can be integrated via the use of the VAPIX® API (see www.axis.com/developer for further information).
