Full frame rate in MPEG-4/Motion JPEG in all resolutions

The AXIS 243SA Video Server enables high resolution, full frame rate video surveillance and remote monitoring in MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG. The video server converts analog video into high quality, de-interlaced digital video, and can deliver the highest resolution, 4CIF, at 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per second.

Converting from analog CCTV to digital video

The AXIS 243SA is designed to migrate analog systems into high-performance, IP-based solutions. It offers a number of advanced functionalities such as video motion detection, image upload, scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification.

Advanced network security

A comprehensive set of security features, including multiple user access levels, HTTPS encryption, possibility to disable unused network services for example ftp, IEEE802.1X and IP address filtering, ensures secure video handling and configuration. In addition, the AXIS 243SA has support for Quality of Service (QoS) which helps secure the necessary bandwidth for streaming video and control commands over a network.

All installations that require full-motion video

The AXIS 243SA is the ideal choice for casinos, airports, traffic surveillance and prisons — anywhere an analog surveillance system is already installed and full frame rate is needed. The two-way audio support enables identification of suspicious behavior and communication of orders or requests.

Support for PTZ and dome cameras

All Axis video encoders connect to analog pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras to allow for easy operation of these PTZ cameras across the IP network. Axis' open policy ensures simple and fast integration with most analog PTZ cameras on the market by including software drivers for more than 25 different analog cameras, including products from American Dynamics, Bosch, Canon, Panasonic, Pelco, Philips, Samsung, Sensormatic and Sony.
