FLEXIBLE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
WITH WIRELESS NETWORK
CAPABILITIES
AXIS 211W Network Camera is a high-performance camera
designed for professional video surveillance, offering the
choice of either a wireless or a wired connection to the
network. In addition to its flexible installation options,
AXIS 211W provides superior image quality thanks to its
progressive scan sensor and advanced image processing. This
makes AXIS 211W ideal for the video surveillance of locations
such as retail stores, offices, hotels and university campuses.
FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
For optimal installation flexibility, AXIS 211W offers either
a wireless connection to the network, or a wired connection
supporting Power over Ethernet. For both of these alternative
installation options, the camera only needs one outlet - either
power or network - which facilitates installation or relocation,
e.g. when monitoring product campaigns in a store.
WIRELESS CONNECTION
AXIS 211W provides high performing wireless transmission
with a wide coverage range according to the IEEE 802.11g
standard, as well as backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b.
The omni-directional indoor antenna, which is included in the
AXIS 211W shipment, is exchangeable for further flexibility.
AXIS 211W offers progressive
scan, all lines are captured at the
same time
Interlaced scan, 20 ms difference
between odd and even lines
SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY
PROGRESSIVE SCAN
With traditional interlaced scanning NTSC/PAL techniques,
every image consists of two frames that are captured one after
the other and merged together. This results in degraded quality
when freezing the image. AXIS 211W instead uses progressive
scan, capturing the full image at the same moment, which
provides non-distorted, superior quality images with drastically
reduced motion blur.
SIMULTANEOUS MOTION JPEG AND MPEG-4
AXIS 211W offers simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4. Video
streams can be optimized for image quality and bandwidth
efficiency by configuration of frame rate, resolution,
compression level and format – providing up to 30 frames per
second in VGA resolution.
POWER OVER ETHERNET
Equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, AXIS 211W is
capable of using the same cable for both power and video when
connected to a fixed network, making installation quick and
easy. The consolidation of power enables the use of a central
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), adding resilience to the
video surveillance system.
TWO-WAY AUDIO SUPPORT
The two-way audio support includes the options of using the
built-in microphone or an external audio capturing device,
and connecting external speakers. This enables remote users
to listen in on an area and to communicate with visitors or
intruders. Axis’ audio-enabled video products are capable
of sending an alarm at a configurable audio detection level.
Audio can be disabled when inappropriate.
OUTDOOR OPTION
A bundle is available that includes AXIS 211W, outdoor anten-
na and housing. This constitutes the perfect choice for outdoor
installations, for example when the camera is to be mounted
on a light pole in a parking lot, where power is available but
network cable installation can be cumbersome.
