Axis Communications Video Server 243Q Blade - Manual (Page 7)

7 AXIS 243Q Blade - Product description
Up to 20 viewers can access each video input on the AXIS 243Q Blade simultaneously
when using Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 unicast. The number of simultaneous viewers can
be increased by using multicast MPEG-4. When using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to view
MPEG-4 video streams, each MPEG-4 viewer requires a separate MPEG-4 decoder license.
One license is included, and further licenses can be purchased separately from your Axis
dealer. If using other clients to view the MPEG-4 video stream, no further MPEG-4 decoder
licenses are required.
Video can be viewed in five resolutions (up to 4CIF), and image compression is
configurable. The AXIS 243Q Blade contains support for video motion detection, which
allows the unit to trigger activity in the video image, and advanced scheduling tools which
can also be used to trigger an event. As the AXIS 243Q Blade is designed for use in
security systems, it is equipped with several security features, such as IP address filtering,
user levels with passwords, and HTTPS.
Each video input on the AXIS 243Q Blade has a built-in web server, providing full access
to all features through the use of a standard web browser. The built-in scripting tool allows
basic applications to be created, providing basic surveillance solutions. For advanced
functionality, the video server can be integrated via the use of the VAPIX® API (see
www.axis.com/developer for further information).
