AXIS 212PTZ-V VANDAL RESISTANT

Full overview

Vandal-resistant

Instant pan/tilt/zoom

No moving parts

Maintained resolution

Excellent protection against vandalism

The AXIS 212 PTZ-V Network Camera has a vandal-resistant casing with metal base and durable cover that provides effective protection against tampering as no part can be forcibly moved.

Video surveillance in demanding environments

A full 140� field of vision provides video of the entire monitored area. Conventional PTZ cameras can view only one part of the whole video scene at a time.

The AXIS 212 PTZ-V Network Camera is perfect for indoor surveillance or premises up to 150 m² (500 sq ft), such as shops, reception areas, banks, server rooms and other places where you need to see the whole area and have the possibility to zoom in for detailed inspection and monitoring.

Instant pan/tilt/zoom

The 3x zoom provides instant, one-click optical zoom functionality. Consequently, from the overview image, a security officer can zoom in 3 times on any suspicious behavior by just clicking on the part of the image where it?s happening. No other PTZ camera can zoom in instantly on off-centered action. And since there is no movement in the lens system, the camera instantly changes the field of view.
It?s this simple:

Overview of the whole scene in perfect image quality
Pan, tilt and zoom with one click
Follow a visitor with one click
Return to overview with one click

Whether in overview or fully zoomed in, you get up to 30 frames per second in VGA resolution. Zooming - the instant, one-click, 3x zoom - does not decrease the image quality. Edges do not become jagged. More importantly, when you zoom in on suspicious behavior, you increase your chances of being able to identify what is happening and who is involved.

Overview - The Starting Point
By having a full overview of 140? (pan), the AXIS 212 PTZ wastes no pixels. This means that the full image sensor can be used for image quality purposes - and the difference is astonishing.

180/360? degree cameras cover a bigger area, but at the expense of spreading the amount of available pixels (resolution) over areas that are often of no interest. With the AXIS 212 PTZ, you see everything you need to see, and the image is sharper.

Superior Image Quality
The AXIS 212 PTZ offers progressive scan and advanced signal processing based on a 3 megapixel CMOS sensor.

Oversampling
Oversampling is a technology that uses the advantages of a high-resolution sensor (2048x1536 pixels) in its full format. This means that, whether in full overview mode or when zooming in, full 1:1 VGA resolution of 640x480 pixels is maintained - resulting in a brighter image, more detail and higher contrast.

When you zoom in 3 times, you obtain normal VGA 1:1 resolution

Bandwidth saver
The AXIS 212 PTZ is able to efficiently "window" a specific portion of the 3 megapixel sensor grid. In doing so, the camera filters out unnecessary information that offloads your network and storage capacity, and lets you capture a well-defined "image concentrate".

Resolution Bandwidth Storage

VGA 2.4 Mbit/s 4 GB/day

3 Megapixel 24 Mbit/s 40 GB/day

Built-in Power over Ethernet

Built-in Power over Ethernet enables power to be delivered to the AXIS 212 PTZ via the network, consolidating power for higher reliability as well as further reducing cabling requirements and installation costs.

Network installation and management

Using AXIS Camera Management, you can manage your AXIS 212 PTZ and other Axis network video devices seamlessly. It helps you locate and show connection status on the network, set IP addresses, configure single or multiple units, manage firmware upgrades and user access rights.
