Market trends for cameras, particularly those

for use within security applications, indicate

a growing interest in PTZ network cameras, as

network video has made it possible to easily

manage cameras remotely with no extra cables.

Built-in Power over Ethernet further contributes to this

by enabling power to be delivered to the AXIS 212 PTZ via

the network, consolidating power for higher reliability as well

as further reducing cabling requirements and installation

costs.

The lack of moving parts contributes to operating reliability

as well as resistance to tampering. Even though the camera

does not need to move to capture a full field of view, it gives

the impression of following anybody within its range. This

can be a significant security factor, as people tend to act

responsibly if they feel they’re being watched.

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams for

optimized quality and bandwidth usage together with pre-

and post-alarm image buffering, video motion detection,

scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm

notification provide effective indoor monitoring. The built-

in two-way audio support enables remote users to not only

view, but also listen in on an area and communicate orders

or requests to visitors or intruders, thereby increasing the

monitoring options.
