Axis 20443r2 Manuale Utente

The AXIS 230 MPEG-2 Network Camera combines the features of a high quality network 

camera containing a built-in zoom with the functionality of a powerful video server, thus 

providing video and audio streams over IP networks. With its day/night functionality, the 

AXIS 230 provides quality video 24 hours a day.

The AXIS 230 provides real-time compression and transmission of a DVD-quality MPEG-2 

video and audio stream over TCP/IP networks. A video stream from the AXIS 230 using no 

audio requires approximately a third of the bandwidth required by a Motion-JPEG stream 

of equivalent quality.

When viewing multimedia content (video and audio) in a browser on a network, various 

technologies and protocols are employed to supply the content. The video and audio 

streams are transmitted either as unicast, where communication is between a single sender 

and a single recipient, or as multicast, which is communication between a single sender 

and multiple recipients. Multicasting is an excellent way to save on bandwidth.

The AXIS 230 is a complete hardware and 

software solution that includes all the 

required networking connectivity for 

distributing multimedia content over the 

network. The built-in web server provides 

its own application page for direct viewing 

of the video stream, as well as full 

web-based control of the management and 

configuration functions. All of this can be 

accessed from a browser over the network.

The AXIS 230 is 

based on a color camera block that 

includes a built-in 18x optical zoom lens, 

and day/night functionality for low light 

conditions, including locations lit by 

IR-illumination. For Pan/Tilt control, the 

camera is equipped with built-in support for RS232/485 and comes complete with the 

main Axis PT drivers. For direct local monitoring, the camera is also equipped with an 

analog composite video output.
