Overview

AXIS T8414 is a battery-powered, handheld device that greatly simplifies the installation of both
Axis network cameras and analog cameras. It displays live video from a camera and makes setting a
camera’s 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 T8414 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 even be powered directly by
AXIS T8414, giving installers greater flexibility.

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

• Power over Ethernet for powering cameras
AXIS T8414 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 T8414 Installation Display has user-friendly functions that greatly simplify camera
setup. For example, the touchscreen monitor is simple and convenient to use at awkward
installation locations. Full zoom in the image is via a simple tap on the touchscreen.

• Snapshot function
AXIS T8414 allows installers to take snapshots of images the network camera delivers as
proof of finalized installation. The snapshots from network cameras can be saved to USB,
Micro SD card, or AXIS T8414.

• Supports both Axis network video products and analog cameras
AXIS T8414 Installation Display supports Axis network cameras and encoders, as well as
analog cameras through a BNC connector. AXIS T8414 is shipped with both an Ethernet
cable and a BNC cable.

Viewing images

With AXIS T8414 Installation Display you can connect to a camera either through Connect or
Device Search for viewing images, see Connect and Device Search, on page 11. The default view
from the camera is at a relatively low resolution. When zooming into the view (see Digital zoom

Zoom - Tap ZOOM on the screen for digital zoom. This
will show the image at the camera's own default
resolution, to allow fine adjustment of the focus.

PT Mode - While digitally zoomed into the view from the
camera, the navigation keys can be used to move around
in the image. The letters PT (Pan/Tilt) indicate that this is
enabled. The arrows and digits at the bottom of the
screen indicate the current position.

Flip view - Press and hold the Up and Down navigation
keys to flip the view 180 degrees. Press again to flip back
