AXIS 242S IV - Product description
Product description
Overview
The AXIS 242S IV is a 1-port video server that provides support for Intelligent Video (IV)
modules. It is equipped with a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) dedicated to processing
advanced intelligent video algorithms.
IV modules (IVMs) are uploaded to the video server, and each module provides its own
configuration page. See page 26 for more information.
The AXIS 242S IV is fully featured for security surveillance and remote monitoring needs.
Based on the AXIS ARTPEC-2 compression chip, it can digitize an analog video source and
make it available on the network as real-time, full frame rate Motion JPEG and/or MPEG-4
video streams.
The AXIS 242S IV is equipped with RS-232 and RS-485 ports for connecting third party
PTZ systems. The 4 alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs can be used to connect various third
party devices, e.g. door sensors and alarm bells.
Up to 20 viewers can access the AXIS 242S IV simultaneously when using Motion JPEG
and MPEG-4 unicast. The number of simultaneous viewers can be increased by using
multicast MPEG-4. When using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view MPEG-4 video streams,
each MPEG-4 viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license. One licence is included,
and further licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis dealer. If using other
clients to view the MPEG-4 video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder licenses are required.
Video can be viewed in 5 resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image compression is configurable.
The AXIS 242S IV contains support for video motion detection, which allows the unit to
trigger on activity in the video image, and advanced scheduling tools which can also be
used to trigger an event. As the AXIS 242S IV is designed for use in security systems, it is
equipped with several security features, such as IP address filtering, several user levels with
passwords and HTTPS.
The AXIS 242S IV has a built-in web server, providing full access to all features through
the use of a standard web browser. The built-in scripting tool allows basic applications to
be created, providing basic surveillance solutions. For advanced functionality, the Video
Server can be integrated via the use of the AXIS VAPIX API (see www.axis.com/developer
for further information).
