Video management and storage

An Axis network video system is able to send video without the need for a dedicated physical infrastructure. It uses standard IP networks, such as Local Area Networks (LANs) and the Internet, for transporting information, rather than dedicated point-to-point cabling, such as that used in analog video systems.

If network video streams need to be monitored on existing analog equip- ment, an Axis video decoder can be used.

Easy and cost-effective expansion

A network video system is extremely flexible. Cameras can be moved freely around the network, and the system can be expanded by adding more network cameras. This is easily done regardless of whether the new cameras are to be placed at the same site, or at a new location communicating over the Internet.
