AXIS 242S IV
Video Server
The AXIS 242S IV Video Server is a one channel video server, equipped
with a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments.
This gives unique possibilities for executing advanced embedded
applications such as people counting, trip wire detection and other
advanced Intelligent Video solutions. Tailor-made Intelligent Video
applications for retail, transportation and security can also be
downloaded to the AXIS 242S IV for high-demanding video and
audio analysis.
All the analyses are done on site, inside the video server, making the
scalability infinite. It is capable of handling both video and audio
analyses, and includes sophisticated functions such as built-in
motion detection and powerful event management.
The AXIS 242S IV Video Server delivers high quality video at 30/25
(NTSC/PAL) frames per second with a de-interlace filter which
improves image quality in the highest resolution (4CIF). This feature
eliminates the motion blur problems caused by the analog video
signal. In addition, the video server is equipped with a complete set
of security features, including multiple user access levels, HTTPS
encryption and IP address filtering.
