Axis 212 Network IP Camera

The AXIS 212 PTZ is no ordinary PTZ. It�s the only PTZ network camera that provides full overview, and instant, one-click pan/tilt/zoom - with maintained sharp image resolution. And it�s all done without moving parts, so there�s no wear and tear. In short, it�s a whole new definition of PTZ. Conventional PTZ cameras allow the user to pan, tilt and zoom, but not to see the whole video scene � just one portion at a time. AXIS 212 PTZ gives the user the whole picture, then allows instant pan/tilt/zoom to get the details.

The 3x zoom provides instant, one-click optical zoom functionality. Consequently, from the overview image, a security officer can zoom in 3 times on any suspicious behavior by just clicking on the part of the image where it�s happening. No other PTZ camera can zoom in instantly on off-centered action. And since there is no movement in the lens system, the camera instantly changes the field of view.Many cameras cannot deliver an overview with sharp resolution, nor maintain resolution when zooming. The AXIS 212 PTZ can, because it has such outstanding image resolution to start with.

The AXIS 212 PTZ offers the highest degree of security by using multiple, password-protected user access levels, IP address filtering, HTTPS encryption and IEEE 802.1X network access control. With the appropriate access rights, video from the AXIS 212 PTZ can be accessed from any computer, anywhere, at any time.

The AXIS 212 PTZ achieves full overview as well as instant pan/tilt/zoom without any moving parts, which means no wear and tear. This unique feature is based on two determining factors:

• A wide-angle lens combined with a 3 megapixel sensor
• Utilization of the full "windowing" possibilities: the camera captures predetermined sections of the overview without mechanical motion.

The advantages of no moving parts are considerable:

• No wear and tear � and a level of durability and reliability far ahead of conventional PTZ.
• No noise � thus making the camera even more discreet.
• No way to tell where the camera is looking. In fact, the camera seems to follow anyone on the premises.
• No delay for mechanical movement � enabling instant pan/tilt/zoom, and thus no time lag in the images.

Axis 212 Features:

• Full Overview
• Instant Pan/Tilt/Zoom
• No Moving Parts
• Maintained Resolution
• Perfect for Indoor Video Surveillance

The AXIS 212 PTZ also incorporates a number of other features that it shares with many other Axis network cameras:

• Built-in Power over Ethernet, Simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4, Two-Way Audio, Comprehensive set of network security features, Tamper-resistant design, Powerful API, and more.
