Overview

AXIS T8412 is a battery-powered handheld device that greatly simplifies the field installation of
both Axis network cameras and analog cameras. It displays live video from a camera and makes
setting the viewing angle and focus at the installation site easier than with the use of a laptop or
remote computer. It offers user-friendly features such as touchscreen, zoom and snapshot
functions. AXIS T8412 can connect directly to a camera, or to a network and search for Axis
network video products. An Axis camera with built-in PoE support can be powered directly by AXIS
T8412, giving installers greater flexibility.

• Simplifies setting the camera's viewing angle and focus
The live video display and zoom functions help installers adjust the field of view and set
and test the camera focus.

• Power over Ethernet for powering cameras
AXIS T8412 delivers PoE to Axis network video products with PoE support either from the
unit's battery or from PoE by-pass. This allows network cameras with PoE to be powered
up and tested without extra tools or the need for electricity and network infrastructures
at the installation site.

• User-friendly
AXIS T8412 Installation Display has user-friendly functions that simplify camera setup. For
example, the touchscreen monitor is very convenient to use in arkward installation
locations. Full zoom in the image is via a simple tap on the touchscreen.

• Snapshot function
AXIS T8412 allows installers to take snapshots of images the network camera delivers as
proof of finalized installation. Snapshots can be saved to USB, Micro SD card, or AXIS
T8412 internal memory.

• Supports Axis network video products, ONVIF-compatible cameras, and analog

cameras

AXIS T8412 Installation Display supports Axis network cameras and encoders, but also
other brands of cameras that feature ONVIF support. There is also support for analog
cameras via a BNC connector. AXIS T8412 is supplied with both an Ethernet cable and a
BNC cable.
