AXIS 232D
Network Dome Camera
The AXIS 232D Network Dome Camera is a day and night camera
that is designed particularly for outdoor surveillance and remote
monitoring applications. It provides round-the-clock, high quality
Motion JPEG and MPEG-4* video, with remote pan, tilt and zoom
control over IP networks.
The AXIS 232D features an 18x optical zoom, autofocus lens and
a ¼-inch Sony ExView HAD interlaced CCD image sensor. It has
an IR-cut filter that can be automatically or manually removed,
depending on the light conditions. This enables the camera to
capture color video in light conditions down to 0.3 lux, and black
and white video in dark conditions as low as 0.005 lux.
As with all true domes, the AXIS 232D can execute a continuous
360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt to cover large areas. It provides
20 preset positions and 1 sequence (auto patrol). The AXIS 232D
offers 4 alarm inputs and 4 outputs, advanced event management
functions, and a complete set of security features such as HTTPS and
IP address filtering. The camera is ideal for demanding surveillance
applications, such as at airports, railway stations and prisons, as
well as at warehouses, manufacturing facilities, shopping centers
and school campuses.
Available accessories include an outdoor housing and a wide variety
of mounting brackets.
