AXIS 215 PTZ Network Camera with its unique pan/tilt/zoom capabilities and tamper-resistant design
is the perfect solution for video surveillance in retail stores, banks, receptions and schools.
The camera offers advanced remote monitoring with pan,
tilt and zoom over IP networks. The total magnification
capacity of 48x (12x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom)
increases monitoring options with the ability to show a
detailed and precise view of the zoomed in area.
AXIS 215 PTZ has 360 degree pan capability, thanks to
the Auto-flip function. Auto-flip is a unique Axis function
that allows a camera that is mounted in the center of
a premises to follow a moving object at 360 degrees
without limitation.
The E-flip function, flips the image electronically 180
degrees allowing a person or object to be followed when
passing directly below the camera in correct orientation
without a repositioning delay.
The camera has automatic day and night functionality
with a removable IR filter for increased light sensitivity.
Perfect color video are provided when there is sufficient
light and high quality black/white video in dark
conditions.
AXIS 215 PTZ can send an alarm at a configurable audio
detection level. Its two-way audio support allows for
communicating with visitors and intruders.
Simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video streams
allow for optimization on both image quality and
bandwidth efficiency.
