User manual AXIS 212 PTZ PRODUCT BROCHURE

[. . . ] In short, it's a whole new definition of PTZ. These distinguishing features make a unique combination: FULL OVERVIEW INSTANT PAN/TILT/ZOOM NO MOVING PARTS MAINTAINED RESOLUTION PERFECT FOR INDOOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE > A full 140° field of vision provides video of the entire monitored area. Conventional PTZ cameras can view only one part of the whole video scene at a time. Zooming in from full overview to close-up is instant, in onestep clicks. Pan and tilt work in the same instant way. [. . . ] > No delay for mechanical movement ­ enabling instant pan/tilt/zoom, and thus no time lag in the images. The dotted lines show the limited area covered by conventional PTZ cameras. If the man on the left was shoplifting, he would be out of view. The AXIS 212 PTZ lets you view the entire monitored area. There are no hidden areas. RESOLUTION ­ SHARP AND MAINTAINED Many cameras cannot deliver an overview with sharp resolution, nor maintain resolution when zooming. The AXIS 212 PTZ can, because it has such outstanding image resolution to start with. INSTANT PAN/TILT/ZOOM The 3x zoom provides instant, one-click optical zoom functionality. Consequently, from the overview image, a security officer can zoom in 3 times on any suspicious behavior by just clicking on the part of the image where it's happening. No other PTZ camera can zoom in instantly on off-centered action. And since there is no movement in the lens system, the camera instantly changes the field of view. It's this simple: > Overview of the whole scene in perfect image quality > Pan, tilt and zoom with one click > Follow a visitor with one click > Return to overview with one click OVERVIEW ­ THE STARTING POINT By having a full overview of 140° (pan), the AXIS 212 PTZ wastes no pixels. This means that the full image sensor can be used for image quality purposes ­ and the difference is astonishing. IMAGE SENSOR 140° LENS 3x zoom 180/360° degree cameras cover a bigger area, but at the expense of spreading the amount of available pixels (resolution) over areas that are often of no interest. With the AXIS 212 PTZ, you see everything you need to see, and the image is sharper. SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY Whether in overview or fully zoomed in, you get up to 30 frames per second in VGA resolution. Zooming ­ the instant, one-click, 3x zoom ­ does not decrease the image quality. More importantly, when you zoom in on suspicious behavior, you increase your chances of being able to identify what is happening and who is involved. The AXIS 212 PTZ offers progressive scan and advanced signal processing based on a 3 megapixel CMOS sensor. OVERSAMPLING Oversampling is a technology that uses the advantages of a high-resolution sensor (2048x1536 pixels) in its full format. This means that, whether in full overview mode or when zooming in, full 1:1 VGA resolution of 640x480 pixels is maintained - resulting in a brighter image, more detail and higher contrast. ADVANCED VIDEO AND EVENT MANAGEMENT You can access live and recorded video at any time from any computer anywhere. The AXIS 212 PTZ supports AXIS Camera Station video management software, offering all the advanced capabilities you need: remote video monitoring, recording and playback. It also lets you perform scheduled event management, using its embedded features: video motion detection, audio detection, inputs/output for connecting additional devices such as external relays and sensors to activate light or open/close doors. The pre- and post-image alarm buffer further contributes to powerful event management, by securing images just before and after an alarm. The AXIS 212 PTZ includes the Axis Application Programming Interface, AXIS VAPIXTM API, facilitating the development of customized applications. It also ensures you benefit from the widest available range of third party applications, available via Axis Application Development Partners. 1x zoom 3x zoom When you zoom in 3 times, you obtain normal VGA 1:1 resolution EASY INSTALLATION The AXIS 212 PTZ is optimized for wall mounting, but may also be mounted on the ceiling. An adapter is provided for angled mounting, so that when positioned at a specific angle, the camera can monitor a specific area along a wall or corridor, for instance. BANDWIDTH SAVER Another obvious advantage of VGA resolution combined with enhanced image quality is lower requirements on bandwidth and storage capacity. [. . . ] Simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams for optimized quality and bandwidth usage together with preand post-alarm image buffering, video motion detection, scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification provide effective indoor monitoring. The builtin two-way audio support enables remote users to not only view, but also listen in on an area and communicate orders or requests to visitors or intruders, thereby increasing the monitoring options. In short, this compact and discreet camera is ideal for indoor environments where you need an overview and the possibility to instantly pan, tilt and zoom for detailed inspections. Add open integration capacities, flexibility, scalability and the added security that comes with a reliable product from a reliable supplier, and you have the ideal solution for indoor video surveillance.
