If the AXIS 241S is to be connected in loop-through with other equipment, disable the input termination by 
setting switch 1 to the up-position (OFF). Failure to do this may cause reduced image quality.

Control Button - Press this button to restore the factory default settings, as described in 

Resetting to the Factory Default Settings, on page 47, or to install using AXIS Internet 

Dynamic DNS Service, see page 15.

Video Input - Coaxial BNC connector supporting a single composite video source. The 

physical connection is made using 75 Ohm coax video cable with a recommended 

maximum length of 800 feet (250 meters).

The AXIS 241S supports conversion between composite video and Y/C (S-video) using an Y/C to BNC cable. 

Video Output - A single video loopthrough (VIDEO OUT) connected in parallel with VIDEO 

IN and terminated with a coax/BNC connector. Allows direct connection of e.g. an external 

monitor. Set dipswitch to OFF when in use.
