AXIS 247S One Channel Video Server (Encoder)

AXIS 247S One Channel Video Server

AXIS 247S One Channel Video Server (Encoder) is a high-performance, single channel video encoder for integrating analog security cameras into IP-based security surveillance systems. The compact AXIS 247S One Channel Viedo Encoder is ideal for distributed installation close to the analog security camera, where space constraints call for an optimized solution, e.g. for video security surveillance with small and discreet security cameras in retail stores. Axis video servers provide the opportunity to take advantage of all the benefits that digital technology offers, perfect for installations where analog fixed security cameras are to be used in an IP-based video surveillance system.

Powerful video and event management

With AXIS 247S Video Server, video can be accessed at any time, from any computer anywhere. AXIS 247S One Channel Video Server (Encoder) allows for powerful event management with multi-window motion detection, audio detection and I/O (input/output) for connecting devices such as security sensors and external relays to activate lights or open/close doors. Pre/post-image alarm buffering secures images just before and after an alarm.

AXIS 247S One Channel Video Server (Encoder) is supported by AXIS Camera Station video management software, which offers remote video monitoring, recording and playback.

High quality, de-interlaced video

AXIS 247S Video Server provides high quality, de-interlaced video at up to 30/25 frames per second in 4CIF resolution. The de-interlace filter eliminates the artifacts caused by the analog PAL/NTSC video signal.

Open programming interface for customized applications

AXIS 247S One Channel Video Encoder supports the industry-standard Axis Application Programming Interface, AXIS VAPIX™ API, which facilitates the development of customized software solutions. It also ensures that users benefit from the market’s widest range of third-party applications, available via Axis Application Development Partners.

Audio support

A microphone or line-in equipment can be connected to Axis 247S One Channel Video Server (Encoder), enhancing the video surveillance by enabling users not only to view, but also listen in on an area, picking up communication between intruders or unusual sounds from suspicious activity.

Power over ethernet

The installer-friendly AXIS 247S Video Server is powered over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3af, and can feed the camera with power, which eliminates the need for power outlets. Power classification 2 or 3 is selectable, enabling optimization of the PoE-enabled network - either providing just enough power for a miniature camera, or for supplying a standard analog security camera.

The security camera can quickly be connected by use of the optional camera cable, fitting to the multi-connector on AXIS 247S and providing standard connectors at the other end for video in, power out and audio in.

Key Features:

• The compact AXIS 247S is ideal for installation close to the analog camera, where space constraints call for an optimized solution
• Powered over Ethernet with power out for the camera
• High quality, de-interlaced video
• Powerful event management
• Installer-friendly AXIS 247S is powered over Ethernet, and can also feed the camera with power, eliminating the need for power outlets.
• Analog video is converted to high-quality, de-interlaced, digital video at up to 30/25 frames per second in 4CIF resolution. Simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams allow for optimization both on image quality and bandwidth efficiency.
• Audio support enables users not only to view, but also listen in on an area, picking up communication between intruders or unusual sounds from suspicious activity. Event management capabilities include multi-window video motion detection, audio detection and alarm buffering for efficient use of the video surveillance system.
