AXIS 214 PTZ
Network Camera
Day & night camera with
pan/tilt/zoom and audio
AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera is a high performance camera for
professional surveillance and remote monitoring. It combines a high
quality color camera with the flexibility of remote pan/tilt/zoom
operations through operator control. Incorporating an 18x optical
motorized lens with auto focus, the AXIS 214 PTZ allows the user
to zoom in on a small or distant object with exceptional clarity. The
movability of the camera enables it to cover a wide field of view.
With automatic day/night functionality and the highly light
sensitive CCD, this camera provides perfect color images in low-
light conditions as well as sharp black and white pictures in
extremely poor lighting conditions. The built-in 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.
Pre- and post-alarm image buffering, video motion detection,
scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification
together with two-way audio makes the AXIS 214 PTZ ideal for
remotely monitoring people and property. This network camera is
designed for use in mid-sized businesses, such as retail stores and
supermarkets, transmitting images over the local area network or
the Internet.
