Product Overview
Axis’ Video Servers include a built-in Web server that enhances traditional surveillance systems and
provides added networking connectivity for distributing monitored images over a secure intranet
network, or even the Internet. Video camera management, configuration, and monitoring - all at
your fingertips through a standard Web browser; such as, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
The following models are currently available:
The AXIS 2400 Video Server -
Connecting directly to Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet networks, the AXIS 2400 Video
Server supports up to four PAL/NTSC
video cameras and is programmable for
both NTSC and PAL video systems.
The AXIS 2401 Video Server -
Connecting directly to Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet networks, the AXIS 2401 Video
Server provides a single video input that
accommodates any standard composite
video source and a loop-through video
output connector. The AXIS 2401 is
available for NTSC or PAL video systems.
Both product variants include a Web-based interface featuring several user-friendly Wizards that
not only simplify the installation process, but also allow for a seamless and automated integration
into your networking environment and custom applications. Furthermore, its open-network
structure minimizes the need for costly coax cabling and optimizes imaging broadcasting for a
minimal connection overhead.
The AXIS 2400/2401 is the smart and cost-effective solution for the sophisticated demands of a
modern interactive surveillance and remote monitoring system. Simple to install - and easy to use!
