eXCepTIoNAl IMAGe deTAIlAXIS 211M Network Camera is a high-performance megapixelcamera, designed for professional video surveillance. It featuresa 1.3 megapixel sensor that delivers crisp and clear images,perfect for the identification of objects and persons. The high-quality lens uses DC-iris control for improving the depth offield and protecting the sensor at intensely illuminated scenes.AXIS 211M is ideal for video surveillance in locations such asretail stores, schools, banks or governmental buildings.The megapixel resolution allows important areas like entrancesor checkouts to be monitored in great detail.SuperIor IMAGe quAlITyProGrESSIvE SCANWith traditional interlaced scanning NTSC/PAL techniques,every image consists of two frames that are captured aftereach other and merged together. This results in degradedquality when freezing the image. AXIS 211M instead usesprogressive scan, capturing the full image at the same moment,which provides non-distorted, superior quality images withdrastically reduced motion blur.SIMulTANeouS MoTIoN JpeG ANd MpeG-4AXIS 211M offers simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 videostreams in full 1.3 megapixel resolution. These streams canbe optimized for image quality and bandwidth efficiency, byconfiguring the frame rate, resolution, compression level andformat – offering up to 12 frames per second in full 1280x1024resolution and 30 frames per second in 800x600 resolution(partial scan).power over eTherNeTEquipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, AXIS 211Mis capable of using the same cable for both power and video,making installation quick and easy.The consolidation of power enables the use of a centralUninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), adding resilience to thevideo surveillance system.Two-wAy AudIo SupporTThe two-way audio support includes the options of using thebuilt-in microphone or an external audio capturing device,and connecting external speakers.This enables remote users to listen in on an area andto communicate with visitors or intruders. Axis’ audioenabled video products are capable of sending an alarm ata configurable audio detection level. Audio can be disabledwhen inappropriate.Progressive scan, all lines arecaptured at the same timeInterlaced scan, 20 ms differencebetween odd and even linesThe increased resolution can also be used to provide asignificantly larger overview.
