AXIS 243Q Blade Network Video Server
The Axis 243Q Blade Video Server enables high resolution, full frame rate video surveillance and remote monitoring in MPEG-4 or Motion JPEG on all four channels. The video server converts analogue video into high quality, de-interlaced digital video, and can deliver the highest resolution, 4CIF, at 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per second.
The server’s serial port enables pan/tilt/zoom control over the network, and its support for Quality of Service (QoS) helps secure the necessary bandwidth for streaming video and control commands over a network. In addition, a comprehensive set of security features, including multiple user access levels, HTTPS encryption, IEEE802.1X and IP address filtering, ensures secure video handling and configuration. The Axis 243Q supports (IPv6) in addition to IP version 4 as an insurance against the growing shortage of IPv4 addresses.

High-density video encoder rack solution
The 1U Video Server Rack is a 19'' rack that can use any combination of up to 3 interchangeable and hot-swappable Axis blade video servers. The Axis video server rack solution migrates 4-12 analogue cameras to IP-based, digital video streams using a single Ethernet port. The combination of AxisS 243Q Blades together with the Axis 291 1U thus makes a higher density of video channels compared to a standalone solution
