Axis 233D User manual

AXIS 233D Network Dome Camera
High-speed dome camera with
progressive scan and 35x zoom
35x optical and 12x digital zoom provides powerful zoom
capabilities to enable monitoring of distant objects in sharp
detail.
AXIS 233D, with its unique area zoom feature, enables
immediate zoom to any desired part of a scene.
Progressive scan provides full resolution images of moving
objects, without distortion.
The Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) reduces the effect of
vibrations caused by traffic or wind, giving sharper images.
With 128x Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), AXIS 233D ensures
high-quality video even in complex lighting conditions.
High precision, low speed movement of 0.05°/second makes it
possible to follow an object from a long distance. Maximum
speed 450°/second allows for extremely fast pan and tilt.

FOR DEMANDING SECURITY
INSTALLATIONS
AXIS 233D is a network dome camera for demanding security
installations. Its wide range of features including progressive
scan, 35x zoom, fast and precise pan/tilt mechanics and
wide dynamic range ensure superb performance and superior
image quality. AXIS 233D is designed for use in challenging
surveillance applications - such as airports, stadiums, casinos
and ports - where the ability to follow moving objects from a
long distance and see great detail is crucial.
POWERFUL 35X ZOOM
With the powerful 35x optical and 12x digital zoom, AXIS 233D
can zoom in on small and distant objects, allowing for example
license plates to be clearly identified from a distance of 160 m
(525 ft). Whether zoomed out or in full 35x zoom position,
images are crisp, clear, and rich in color and detail.
AREA ZOOM
AXIS 233D can simply and quickly pan, tilt and zoom to
any desired part of a monitored scene. Mark an area and
AXIS 233D will immediately zoom in to show a detailed view
of that area.
SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY
PROGRESSIVE SCAN
With traditional interlaced scanning NTSC/PAL techniques,
every image consists of two frames that are captured after
each other and merged together. This results in degraded
quality when freezing the image in recorded video. AXIS 233D
instead uses progressive scan, capturing the full image at the
same moment, which provides non-distorted, superior quality
images with drastically reduced motion blur.
ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZER (EIS)
Electronic image stabilizer (EIS) reduces the effect of vibration
caused by traffic or wind, giving sharper images. This feature is
especially useful when AXIS 233D is installed in places subject
to shaking or vibration, such as on a pole or close to a highway
with heavy traffic.
SIMULTANEOUS MPEG-4 AND MOTION JPEG
AXIS 233D offers simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG.
Video streams can be optimized for image quality and band-
width efficiency by configuration of frame rate, resolution,
compression level and format – offering up to 30 frames per
second in 4CIF resolution in all compressions.
EXCEPTIONAL PAN/TILT
PERFORMANCE
With a maximum speed of 450º/second, and high precision
low speed movement at 0.05º/second, AXIS 233D can follow a
walking person at a distance of 400 m (1300 ft) and pan/tilt to
any preset in less than 1.5 seconds. The freeze function holds
the image while moving between presets, to make it easier to
work with. The E-flip functionality electronically inverts the
image 180ºwhen following an object moving under the dome.
TWO-WAY AUDIO SUPPORT
With the ability to connect to external speakers and micro-
phones, AXIS 233D enables remote users not only to view, but
also listen in on an area and communicate orders or requests
to visitors or intruders.

WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE (WDR)
AXIS 233D has 128x wide dynamic range, maintaining contrast
to ensure high-quality video and detailed images even in
very complex lighting conditions, such as bright sun, sharp
backlight or shaded areas.

ADVANCED SECURITY
AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT
AXIS 233D is supported by AXIS Camera Management, which
offers centralized management of AXIS 233D and other Axis
network video devices. It locates and shows connection
status, sets IP addresses, configures single or multiple units
and manages firmware upgrades and user access rights.
AXIS 233D Network Dome Camera offers a comprehensive
set of network security features, such as IP address filtering,
HTTPS encryption and IEEE 802.1X authentication.
AXIS 233D supports Quality of Service (QoS), which enables
reservation of network capacity and prioritization of mission-
critical surveillance in a QoS-aware network. Support for IPv6
is included in addition to the standard IP protocol version 4, as
insurance against the growing shortage of IPv4 addresses.
POWERFUL VIDEO
AND EVENT MANAGEMENT
With Axis network cameras, video can be accessed at any time,
from any computer anywhere. AXIS 233D allows for powerful
event management with multi-window motion detection, and
inputs/outputs for connecting e.g. sensors and external relays
for activating lights, locking/unlocking doors, etc. Pre- and
post-image alarm buffering secures images just before and
after an alarm.
OPEN PROGRAMMING INTERFACE FOR
CUSTOMIZED APPLICATIONS
AXIS 233D includes the industry-standard Axis Application
Programming Interface, AXIS VAPIX™ API, which facilitates
the development of customized software solutions. It also
ensures compatibility with the market’s widest range of third-
party applications, available via Axis Application Development
Partners.
