 NETWORK ENCODERS / DECODERS 19

VIDEO ENCODERS/DECODERS
Helping you migrate your analog security system to
an IP-based video solution
Axis video encoders digitize the video signals from your analog CCTV system and distribute
them directly over an IP-based network, turning analog cameras into network cameras. Users
can view live images from a video management software application or a web browser any-
where, at any time. Connect an Axis video decoder to your system to display live video on
digital or analog public view monitors.

Common features Benefits

> Analog video sources converted to high-quality digital video > Remote access to live and recorded video anywhere at any time, from
> Deinterlace filter corrects motion blur caused by the analog any authorized computer
video signal > Digital quality images for perfect viewing
> Support for ONVIF > Scalable and future-proof
> Standard video compression formats including H.264, MPEG-4 and > Lower total cost of ownership by leveraging existing network
Motion JPEG infrastructure and legacy equipment
> Direct connection to IP networks > Convenient digital video storage
> Independent system with embedded web server - no need for > Increased functionalities compared with CCTV system

Scenario 1: Basic installation with remote access on the local network

AXIS Camera Station and Axis network cameras are located on the same local network. Viewing, playback and
administration are done directly in AXIS Camera Station. Existing analog cameras connected to an Axis video
encoder achieve the same functionality.

Typical environments for this type of installation are small offices or retail shops.

 SOLUTIONS BY INDUSTRY 43

SOLUTIONS BY INDUSTRY
A tailor-made solution for every application
Flexibility and scalability are key promises that network video fulfills. Axis offers network video
solutions that ensure enduring results, whatever your business area or application need.

Retail
The key to success for retailers is to provide a satisfying customer experi-
ence. With Axis network video, you can achieve greater security and loss
prevention, optimize store management and significantly improve store per-
formance. Easily integrated with POS and EAS systems, an Axis network
video solution enables remote and local monitoring at any time, from any
place. You get rapid ROI as well as cross-functional use of your solution; for
instance, by combining people counting, integrated alarm functionality and
register monitoring.

Transportation
Axis provides the means to improve security, operations and overall
passenger experience at airports, seaports and public transit systems.
Automatic alerts and live video from any camera makes it possible to effi-
ciently detect and manage daily security incidents, and to protect valuable
goods and property. Intelligent capabilities such as passenger counting,
license plate recognition and motion detection help to improve daily oper-
ations in any transportation environment. For traffic monitoring, intel-
ligent camera applications enable automatic incident detection to reduce
response times, minimize congestion and improve traffic flow.

Education
From day-care centers to universities, Axis network video systems help
deter vandalism and increase student and staff safety. They enable schools
to efficiently monitor their indoor and outdoor areas. Features such as
motion detection and live video from any camera give security operators
powerful tools to quickly respond to security incidents and avoid false
alarms. The cameras provide HDTV-quality video, enabling positive iden-
tification of persons and objects. Remote learning is another interesting
application, e.g. for students who are unable to attend lectures in person.

Industrial
Axis network video is used in a multitude of industrial applications, such
as remote monitoring of manufacturing lines and processes, performance
enhancement of automated production systems, incident detection and
perimeter security. Network video is also an efficient tool to improve
remote trouble-shooting and maintenance support.
44 SOLUTIONS BY INDUSTRY

Critical infrastructure
Whether it is a solar plant, an electrical substation or a waste management
facility, network video can help ensure safe, secure and uninterrupted
activity everyday. Production data from remote sites can be enhanced
with visual information.

City surveillance
Network video is an essential tool for fighting crime and protecting the
public. In emergencies, network cameras can help police or firefighters to
quickly focus their action. Axis’ advanced network cameras offer razor-
sharp detail, motion detection and tamper-resistance. Operating over both
wired and wireless networks, they are ideal and extremely cost-effective
tools to promote the security that ensures safer cities.

Government
Axis network video helps protect all kinds of public buildings, from muse-
ums and offices to libraries and prisons. Supervising security at building
access areas and remote monitoring points 24/7, Axis cameras increase
security for staff and visitors. They also help prevent vandalism and pro-
vide visitor statistics.

Healthcare
Axis allows hospitals to efficiently monitor indoor and outdoor environ-
ments such as emergency departments, passageways and restricted areas
to ensure the protection of staff, patients and sensitive information.
Security staff can view live video from multiple locations and cameras
can automatically alert staff when there are incidents such as missing
patients, perimeter breaches, unauthorized entry, etc. Network video has
also become an important tool for remote learning, where doctors or stu-
dents can watch their peers perform various medical procedures.

Banking and finance

Banks have traditionally very high demands on security and surveillance.
Using existing CCTV equipment and infrastructure, they can create state-
of-the-art network video surveillance systems that deliver powerful event
