AXIS 207/207W
Network Cameras
The true bandwidth-efficient
MPEG-4 network cameras
The AXIS 207 Network Cameras, from the recognized market leader in
network video, offer compact and cost-effective solutions for indoor
surveillance and remote monitoring. The built-in microphone enables
remote users to not only view, but also listen in on an area and increase
the monitoring options.
The AXIS 207 family offers the best image quality in its class, providing
excellent image quality also in low lighting conditions. In addition, it
provides the best bandwidth efficiency, thanks to its MPEG-4
implementation that includes motion estimation. Simultaneous
MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG allow systems to be optimized for both
image quality and bandwidth.
With their built-in Web server, the AXIS 207 Network Cameras can be
monitored via a standard browser on a Windows computer as well as
a Mac. In addition to the included AXIS IP Utility tool for Windows,
the cameras support both UPnP and Bonjour, for easy location on the
network in a Windows or Mac environment.
Snapshots can be taken directly from the Web interface, in addition,
video can be sent by email when the camera detects motion, or when
triggered by a sensor connected to the alarm input. Video can also be
recorded via the included AXIS Camera Explorer software.
The AXIS 207W Network Camera comes with both wireless IEEE 802.11g
and Ethernet network interface for flexible installation. It supports the
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 protocols to provide the best
security measures for wireless networks. The high performing wireless
transmission with a wide coverage range gives the freedom to place the
camera where it is needed, instead of where the network outlet is.
These entry-level network cameras are ideal for securing small
businesses, home offices and residences over a local area network or
the Internet.
