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. It features a DC-Iris and supports Power over Ethernet. It also features a metal casing and an infrared (IR) filter for day and night operation.
Video from the camera is made available on the network as a real-time, full frame rate Motion JPEG stream and/or 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 AXIS 221 simultaneously when using Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 unicast. The number of simultaneous viewers can be increased by using multicast MPEG-4.
Each MPEG-4 viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license, of which one is included. Additional 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.
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).
