Unique Auto-flip Feature in New Axis Pan/Tilt/Zoom Network Camera Allows 360 Degree Panning Surveillance
AXIS 215 PTZ Network Camera is a Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera that provides full 360 degree panning by the use of the new and unique Auto-flip feature. The highly compact AXIS 215 PTZ is perfect for the indoor surveillance of shops, reception areas, schools, offices and other places that require both overview and zoom functionality.
AXIS 215 PTZ also
features automatic day and night functionality, 12x optical zoom, 4x
digital zoom and autofocusing. Simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG
video streams at resolutions up to 4CIF allow for optimised quality and
bandwidth usage. Pre- and post-alarm image buffering, video motion
detection, as well as scheduled and triggered event functionality with
alarm notification all combine to create an effective solution for
indoor monitoring. Two-way audio support enables remote users not only
to view, but also listen in on an area and communicate orders or
requests to visitors or intruders, thereby increasing the monitoring
options. AXIS 215 PTZ also supports audio alarms, making it possible
to detect the noise from intruders even in the dark.
All PTZ
cameras have a mechanical stop that prevents the camera from panning
the full 360° degrees and thereby breaking the cables between the
camera and the main board. This means that following e.g. a person
walking behind the camera will not be possible - you will only see them
when they appear in the camera's angle of view. The unique Auto-flip
feature reverses the pan direction whenever the camera reaches the
mechanical stop at 180° and does so in about in 1 second. Auto-flip
means the AXIS 215 PTZ has no blind spots and is suitable for mounting
in the centre of the ceiling.
The comprehensive set of network
security features in the AXIS 215 PTZ includes multi-level password
protection, IP address filtering and HTTPS encryption.
The AXIS 215 PTZ is supplied complete with all indoor mounting accessories (a separate housing is available for outdoor use). The product is supported by the industry's largest base of application software through the Axis Application Development Partner program, as well as the AXIS Camera Station video management software. The AXIS 215 PTZ is now available through Axis distribution channels.
