This product is now discontinued and has been replaced by Axis M7011

The Axis M7001 video encoder is a compact video encoder providing an affordable solution for integrating an analogue CCTV camera into a digital IP-based surveillance system.

Ultra compact, the M7001 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, ideal for non-invasive monitoring applications and for installing inside camera housings. With H.264 support it also delivers streaming video at significantly reduced bit-rates compared to conventional compression formats without any loss of image quality.

Power over Ethernet support allows the video encoder to be powered using the same Ethernet cable which supplies the data providing a quick, easy and cost effective installation. Like all products offered by Network Webcams, the Axis M7001 IP video encoder has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet as a streaming IP webcam.

Note: This video encoder does not include a power supply. Please select one if required from the options above.

Axis M7001 - 0298-001 - Key benefits:

• Ultra compact. The M7001 measures only 86mm (3.4 inches) long and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hands making it ideal for non-invasive surveillance, unobtrusive monitoring or for installing inside camera housings
• Hybrid connectivity provides a solution for converting legacy analogue CCTV equipment into an IP-based surveillance system
• H.264 compression significantly reduces the bandwidth and storage space required for live streaming video which lessens the load on the network and provides costs savings when designing an IP CCTV system
• Power over Ethernet connectivity allows the encoder to be powered using PoE which greatly simplifies installation reducing time spent on site and installation costs
• Affordable and easy to use, perfect for small or large installations
