The Axis Communications AXIS 241S Blade Video Server effectively bridges the gap between analog and digital technology. The server accepts a single analog fixed or dome camera and turns it into a virtual network camera complete with remote Internet viewing and recording, PTZ control and alarm I/O ports. This Blade is designed to slide inside an AXIS Video Rack Server, either the 3-port or the 12-port version, with the Rack providing both power and serial camera control. Both rack models use a single Ethernet port to connect to a network and allow easy swapping between different types of Blades. A Blade is a very useful tool for long established security facilities looking to take full advantage of the latest in network technology without having to replace their existing high resolution and expensive analog equipment.

Axis Communications 241S Overview
Note:
This Blade requires either a 3-port (AX291) or 12-port (AXRVS19PS) Video Rack
Simultaneous M-JPEG/MPEG-4 (30 FPS)
Single port servers are available in four different configurations, each designed to suit a particular application. This AXIS 241S Video Server has the distinction of being able to capture video simultaneously in both the MJPEG and MPEG-4 formats at a resolution of 704 x 480 and at speeds up to 30 FPS. This gives a user the necessary control over how data is transmitted over a network and also provides a user with the image clarity and smooth picture movement required to better identify people and objects.
PTZ Control
A number of standard serial ports allow the direct connection of a PTZ dome camera. Once connected, the dome camera is treated like any other network camera, with a user able to control basic pan, tilt, and zoom functions as well as any additional complex operations like preset positions, tours and groups.
Alarm I/O Ports
To further enhance security performance, this server features a number of alarm I/O ports. These I/O ports will accept a number of external sensors to trigger alarm events such as when a door or window is being forcefully opened, and to activate devices following an alarm event like turning a light on or locking down a row of doors.
Built-In Motion Detection
Built into the server is a motion detection function fully configurable for area and sensitivity. Motion detection not only alerts an operator to suspicious movement, but when used to trigger recording to a DVR, saves valuable time and network resources. To keep users apprised of all important events, this server can be set to send alerts to a designated Email address over the network.
Secure Network Management
An elaborate encryption and filtering system is incorporated to prevent hackers and other illicit network infiltrators from accessing the camera. Authorized users however will find it easy to access the camera for viewing images and for PTZ control. A multi-user password system is employed to determine the level of access for general clients and an administrator.
