VIDEO ENCODERS 17
VIDEO ENCODERS
Helping you migrate your analog security system to
an IP-based video solution
Axis video encoders integrate easily into your existing analog CCTV system. A video encoder
(also referred to as video server) digitizes analog video signals and distributes digital images
directly over an IP-based network (e.g. LAN/intranet/Internet), turning analog cameras into
network cameras. Users can view live images from a video management software application
or a web browser on any networked computer, anywhere and at any time. With Axis video
encoders, you get all the benefits that digital technology offers while protecting your existing
analog investment.
Common features
Benefits
> Analog video sources converted to high-quality digital video
> De-interlace filter corrects motion blur caused by the analog
video signal
> Remote access to live images, any time, anywhere, from any computer
> Digital quality images for perfect viewing
> Scalable and future-proof
> Products with Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 and/or H.264
> Direct connection to IP networks
> Lower total cost of ownership by leveraging existing network
infrastructure and legacy equipment
> Independent system with embedded web server - no need for
additional hardware or software to capture and transfer images
> Powerful event and alarm management capabilities
> Remote configuration and status with Axis management tools or
standard web browser
> Comprehensive set of security features, including multi-level
password, IP address filtering and HTTPS encryption
> Powerful API (VAPIX®) for software integration
> Products with IPv6 and Quality of Service (QoS)
> Convenient digital video storage
> Increased functionalities compared with CCTV system
> Remote and secure accessibility for efficient, centralized manage-
ment and reduced maintenance costs
> Ease of integration: easy addition of functionality, system
expansion and integration with other systems, such as access
control or point of sales
> Backed by the industry’s largest base of video management
software with Axis Application Development Partners

RACKS FOR ENTERPRISE INSTALLATIONS
Designed for improved serviceabil-
ity and quick replacement of units,
AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack,
AXIS Video Server Rack and
AXIS Q7900 Rack hold up to 3, 12
or 14 video encoder blades respec-
tively, which are interchangeable

Scenario 1: Basic installation with remote access on the local network
AXIS Camera Station and Axis network cameras are located on the same local network. Viewing, playback and
administration are done directly in AXIS Camera Station. Existing analog cameras connected to an Axis video
encoder achieve the same functionality.
Typical environments for this type of installation are small offices or retail shops.

This will help you determine the features you would
like to have in a network camera, such as video
quality, light sensitivity and type of lens.
This determines the type of camera and type of lens
(normal, telephoto, wide-angle) to use, as well as
the placement of the camera(s). Choose Axis net-
work cameras with fixed focal or varifocal lenses,
with or without replaceable lenses, according to the
level of flexibility needed.

Network cameras come with fixed angle and focus,
as well as variable ones that allow remote pan/tilt/
