The Axis 221 Day & Night Network Camera is a high performance camera for round-the-clock surveillance over IP networks.
With the ability to provide high quality images under all lighting conditions, the Axis 221 is an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor applications, including the surveillance of buildings, roads, parking areas, garages, railway stations and airports.
The Axis 221 features an automatic, removable infrared-cut filter, which enables the camera to provide colour video when there is sufficient light, and black and white video in dark conditions. [see ]. It uses a high performance Pentax lens and a CCD image sensor that enables moving objects to be presented without distortion. In addition to support for 45 frames per second at all resolutions, the Axis 221 offers simultaneous Motion JPEG and advanced video streams to optimise image quality and bandwidth efficiency.
Integrated features include video motion detection, pre- and post-alarm buffer, and inputs/outputs for connecting external devices such as door sensors and relays to activate light or close doors.
Additionally, the product offers a complete set of security features such as multi-level password protection, IP address filtering and HTTPS encryption. The support for HTTPS provides a secure channel between camera and application and enables authentication of the video source.
The Axis 221 fully supports the IEEE 802.3af standard and works with compliant mid-spans and switches. Power supply to the camera can be guaranteed by use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
