Overview of the Axis P7216 0542-003
Axis P7216 cost-effective network video encoder with simultaneous streaming at full frame rate, PTZ support and included power supply.
The Axis P7216 is a high quality video encoder, enabling analogue cameras to be used on an IP video system without needing to invest in new network cameras. The P7216 provides support for up to 16 cameras, an ideal encoder for small to medium sized CCTV systems in applications such as offices, retail and medical centres. This Axis encoder delivers a H.264 and Motion JPEG stream per channel at full frame rate up to D1 resolution for smooth video data.
Intelligent video capabilities such as video motion detection, two-way audio with audio detection and active tampering alarm can all alert the user to potential security breaches for precise, reliable monitoring. Analogue cameras with PTZ can also be controlled through the MP217 protocol, enabling effective coverage of an area and utilising the existing analogue camera features.
4 built-in memory card slots provide edge storage for data in case of network failure, so data remains smooth and uninterrupted. Configurable inputs and outputs enable sensors and external relays to be connected to enable features such as light activation and door unlocking.
The Axis P7216 encoder can either act as a standalone device or can be rackmounted into a 19 rack and comes with a power supply included.
