AXIS 221 Network Camera is a high-performance camera for round-the-clock video surveillance
over IP networks. The camera provides high-quality images under all lighting conditions, which
makes it ideal for demanding security installations both indoors and outdoors.

The automatic, removable infrared-cut filter, together
with the highly light-sensitive CCD sensor, enables
AXIS 221 to provide color video when there is sufficient
light, and black/white video in dark conditions.
Progressive scan enables the camera to reproduce
moving objects without distortion.

The camera provides up to 45 frames per second in VGA
resolution (640x480 pixels).

Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) supplies power to the
camera via the network, which eliminates the need for
power cables and reduces installations costs.

The event management capabilities ensure efficient use
of the camera in the video surveillance system. This
includes video motion detection, active tampering alarm
and pre/post alarm buffering.

> Powerful event

management

Simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams
allow for optimization of image quality and bandwidth
efficiency.
