AXIS  212  PTZ  network  cameras  are  perfect  for  indoor 
surveillance or premises up to 150 m
2
 (500 sq ft), such as shops,  
reception areas, banks, server rooms and other places where 
you  need  to  see  the  whole  area  and  have  the  possibility  to 
zoom in for detailed inspection and monitoring. 
The AXIS 212 PTZ-V is a vandal-resistant network camera with 
metal base and durable cover providing excellent protection 
against vandalism – while offering the same superior camera 
performance as AXIS 212 PTZ.
The dotted lines show the limited area covered by conventional PTZ cameras.  
If the man on the left was shoplifting, he would be out of view.  
AXIS 212 PTZ network cameras let you view the entire monitored area. There 
are no hidden areas.
When you zoom in on suspicious behavior, you increase your chances of being 
able to identify what is happening and who is involved.
180/360° degree cameras cover a bigger area, but at the expense of spreading 
the  amount  of  available  pixels  (resolution)  over  areas  that  are  often  of  no 
interest. With the AXIS 212 PTZ network cameras, you see everything you need 
to see, and the image is sharper.

INSTANT PAN/TIlT/Zoom
The  3x  zoom  provides  instant,  one-click  zoom  functionality. 
Consequently, from the overview image, a security officer can 
zoom in 3 times on any suspicious behavior by just clicking 
on the part of the image where it’s happening. No other PTZ 
camera  can  zoom  in  instantly  on  off-centered  action.  And 
since there is no movement in the lens system, the cameras 
instantly change the field of view. It’s this simple:
>  Overview of the whole scene in perfect image quality
>  Pan, tilt and zoom with one click
>  Follow a visitor with one click
>  Return to overview with one click
3x zoom
No moVINg PArTS 
AXIS 212 PTZ network cameras achieve full overview as well as 
instant pan/tilt/zoom without moving parts, which means no 
wear and tear. This unique feature is based on two determining 
factors:
>  A wide-angle lens combined with a 3 megapixel sensor
>  Utilization of the full "windowing" possibilities:  
the cameras capture predetermined sections of the 
overview without mechanical motion. 
The advantages of no moving parts are considerable:
>  No wear and tear – and a level of durability and  reliability 
far ahead of conventional PTZ.
>  No noise – thus making the cameras even more discreet. 
>  No way to tell where the cameras are pointing. In fact, the 
cameras seems to follow anyone on the premises.
>  No delay for mechanical movement – enabling instant 
pan/tilt/zoom, and thus no time lag in the images.

Many  cameras  cannot  deliver  an  overview  with  sharp 
resolution,  nor  maintain  resolution  when  zooming.   
AXIS 212 PTZ network cameras can, because they have such 
outstanding image resolution to start with.
OVeRVIew – The STARTINg POINT
By  having  a  full  overview  of  140°  (pan),  AXIS  212  PTZ  network 
cameras waste no pixels. This means that the full image sensor  
can be used for image quality purposes – and the difference  
is astonishing.
