3. AXIS 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.

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

8. APViS (Axis Prioritized Video Storage) – Axis Patent Pending

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

11. 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

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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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!

18. 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)  

19. 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)

29. 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
