SURVEILLANCE

AXIS 216FD-V is a vandal-resistant fixed dome network
camera designed for indoor use. Its metal base and durable
transparent cover provide excellent protection against
vandalism – while offering the same superior camera
performance as AXIS 216FD.

AXIS 216FD network cameras have a discreet and compact
fixed dome design that make them the perfect choice for
indoor environments where a low camera profile is an
important factor – such as stores, banks, schools and prisons.

POWERFUL VIDEO
AND EVENT MANAGEMENT

With AXIS 216FD network cameras, video can be accessed
at any time, from any computer anywhere. AXIS 216FD
network cameras also allow for powerful event management
with multi-window motion detection, audio
detection, active tampering alarm and I/O (input/
output) for connecting devices such as external relays
and sensors to activate lights or open/close doors.
Pre- and post-alarm buffering secures images just before and
after an alarm. AXIS 216FD network cameras are supported

by AXIS Camera Station video management software, which

offers remote video monitoring, recording and playback.

OPEN PROGRAMMING INTERFACE FOR
CUSTOMIZED APPLICATIONS

AXIS 216FD network cameras include VAPIX®, the industry­standard application programming interface (API) from
Axis Communications, which facilitates the development of
customized software solutions. It also ensures compatibility
with the market’s widest range of third-party applications,
available via Axis Application Development Partners.

SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY

Thanks to the high-quality progressive scan sensor and
advanced image processing, AXIS 216FD network cameras
deliver crisp and clear images even in low-light conditions.

SIMULTANEOUS MOTION JPEG AND MPEG-4

AXIS 216FD network cameras offer simultaneous Motion

JPEG and MPEG-4. Video streams can be optimized for image

quality and bandwidth efficiency by configuration of frame
rate, resolution, compression level and format – offering up to
30 frames per second in VGA resolution.

TWO-WAY AUDIO SUPPORT

The audio support includes the option of using the built-in
microphone or connecting external speakers and microphones.
This enables remote users to listen in on an area and
communicate instructions, orders or requests to visitors or
intruders. Audio can be disabled when inappropriate.

EASY INSTALLATION

AXIS 216FD network cameras are quick and easy
to install. They allow flexible mounting on wall,
hard or drop ceiling and versatile adjustment by panning,
tilting and rotating the varifocal lens to any camera angle.
Smoked transparent cover and drop ceiling mount kit are
options for further discretion.

POWER OVER ETHERNET

Power over Ethernet allows power to be delivered to
the AXIS 216FD network cameras via the network,
reducing cabling requirements and installation
costs. This also means that continuous
power can be guaranteed by the
use of a UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply).
