AXIS 2460 - Why? The US security video recorder market alone was 2001 a $193M market with an estimated value of $277M in 2005 – at factory level The US DVR market estimations will from the 2001 value of $36M increase to hold a $171M market in 2005. (J.P. Freeman Inc. 2001)

Axis DVR advantages over analogue VCR Image quality, no tape wear-out No maintenance Quick search Remote administration Longer recording time

APViS (Axis Prioritized Video Storage) – Axis Patent Pending

Availability / Time to First Reduction Examples, approximate figures in days – 1 fps from four cameras.

Recording Modes - APViS Normal Same as FIFO, i.e. oldest recording erased completely no matter what priority Extended Approximately doubles recording availability over Normal Extended Long Approximately five-doubles recording availability over Normal Max Store Time Regardless of recording mode, maximum store time of recordings can be specified per camera to enable compliance with local legislation

Recording Conditions – Event Set-Up Always Scheduled At alarm Manually

Advanced alarm handling AXIS 2460 features Advanced alarm handling Up to 100 events, whereof 50 simultaneously active, can be defined Recording frame rate can be automatically increased upon alarm Pre-alarm buffer: recording triggered by event also includes video from just before the event took place

AXIS 2460 features Triplex functionality; simultaneous Secure storage Live viewing/Playback Recording Administration Secure storage Recordings are striped on 2 or 4 disks If a disk fails, ¼ of the images are lost No complete recordings are lost Recording continues at full frame rate

Secure Storage A method to reduce the impact of a hard disk crash or unexpected power failure The AXIS 2460 writes images sequentially to all available disks With for example 4 disks and in case of a disk crash, ¼ of the images of all recordings are lost, i.e. a 25 % decrease of frame rate is the only result and no complete recordings are lost The AXIS 2460 uses a journaling file system (ext3fs) After a power crash, the AXIS 2460 self-repairs and automatically resumes normal operation The recordings database is continuously backed up to all available disks, but 1 minute of latest recordings may be lost

AXIS 2460 features Built-in firewall functionality and user level access control (user name, password) Unauthorized stations can be locked out from access Three levels of users can be defined allowing different levels of access for different authorized persons

Axis – a smarter solution Many DVR’s don’t allow simultaneous recording, playback, live viewing, and administration The AXIS 2460 has this triplex functionality Archiving is often done to CD-RW, tape, Jaz and so on The AXIS 2460 creates AVI on the PC for archiving on any medium of free choice Many competitors require client software for remote viewing The AXIS 2460 has everything built in – even a complete Web server!

Customers and applications #1 Small-scale businesses requiring an easy to operate and remotely available monitoring and/or surveillance system: Small retail shops (loss prevention and monitoring) Gas stations (loss prevention and monitoring) Small workshops (employee/production monitoring)  

Customers and applications #2 Larger corporate organizations requiring a centrally administered remote monitoring and/or surveillance system: Retail chains/franchises (loss prevention) Telcos and ISPs (technical facilities surveillance) Public service providers (monitoring of water, gas, power supply, etc. systems)

Q & A AXIS 2460 Strengths: Ease of use No need for client software, Internet Explorer is all that’s needed – Truly unique! Works with Axis Network Cameras Works with the most popular network cameras in the world. Can be placed wherever the camera are placed, thus equally flexible Receive sound wherever you can receive images. The audio stream are sent using the same protocol (http) as the video stream, this allows the audio to traverse firewalls that normally restricts audio/multimedia use. No need to open ports, No need to interfere with system dpts, No security risk. Weaknesses Video and audio are sent in two separate streams – No guarantee for lipsynchronization -Practically of low importance for the targeted use-cases, can even be argued to be an advantage As the sound allways are prioritized in relation to the videostream, A slow picture stream are normally perceived as less important than flickering sound. Not integrated in the camera The two component solution can be perceived as bulky with it’s two parts and accompanying power-supplys. -Adds extra flexibility to the solution as the Audio-module can be mounted where audio are needed not necessarily where the camera are located (typically wall mounted near the roof) restrictons for serial communications applied, serial cables exceeding 10 meters not recommended
