Axis Communications 0288-004 Q7401 1 Channel Video EncoderThe Axis Communications AXIS Q7401 can be used to interface a single analog CCTV camera to a network. Video is captured in the H.264 format, a codec that offers high compression rates while maintaining excellent image quality, thus reducing storage and network requirements. MJPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. Up to 3 video streams, each configurable for frame rates and resolution, can be sent simultaneously over the network. Images can also be adjusted for contrast, brightness, saturation, and other parameters before the conversion takes place.If the analog camera is of the PTZ type, it can be accessed over the network for pan, tilt, and zoom control as well as to operate its presets and tour guard functions via a Windows compatible joystick. To enhance security and for better data management, this encoder incorporates video motion detection, active tampering alarm, and audio detection functions, all of which can be viewed and configured over the network. Each of these detection functions can be used to trigger an action following an alarm alert such as email notification, file uploads, or local storage to the encoder's SD card slot. There are also a number of alarm I/O ports to facilitate connection to external input and output devices.Axis Communications 0288-004 Q7401 1 Channel Video Encoder Features:†Intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection, active tampering alarm and audio detection†External inputs and outputs that can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors†Image setting adjustment to improve images before encoding takes place†Two-way audio support†SD/SDHC memory card slot for local storage†Open Application Programming Interface (API) for software integration, including VAPIX from Axis Communications.
