Axis Camera Station video recording software - 1 channel upgrade

Overview of Axis Camera Station - 1 channel upgrade

This product is a 1 channel upgrade license for Axis Camera Station IP video monitoring, recording and playback software and can be added to any 4 or 10-channel base license to provide an additional camera channel.

Axis Camera Station provides a professional IP video monitoring, recording and playback application for up to 100 Axis cameras or video servers using a Windows based PC or Server. View live images or archived footage while simultaneously recording footage to local or network attached storage. Recordings can be triggered in a number of ways using schedules or on-demand recording. To save on storage space, event based recording can be used using sensor inputs or motion detection.

To save bandwidth and server load the application allows you to benefit by using the motion detection routines from the camera. Playback gives synchronous feeds from up to 4 cameras simultaneously allowing you to track events from past archived recordings as they happen. Recordings can be searched using the new visualisation timeline which provides a graphical representation of event recordings, date/time or by camera.

The client program can also be installed on other computers to allow access to live video, playback and basic administration from remote locations. A complete live video monitoring and recording application for up to 100 simultaneous Axis video devices, Axis Camera Station provides even more powerful features in an easy to use application suitable for any business or organization.
