, they created a hybrid system. This allowed guards to monitor the entire store from a centralized security office using a networked approach, rather than relying on old-school VCRs and monitors. The Result
4 composite video sources (BNC jacks), auto-sensing for NTSC and PAL formats.
For modern users accustomed to sleek mobile apps, the Axis 2400 interface feels archaic—but in 2002, it was revolutionary. The device hosted its own internal web server.
It included digital inputs and outputs to connect external sensors (like motion detectors or door contacts) and triggers (like sirens or lights). Key Benefits to the Security Industry 1. Cost-Effective Migration to IP
is a legacy high-performance tool designed to bridge the gap between traditional analog surveillance and digital IP networks. It allows you to convert up to four analog video feeds into high-quality digital streams for remote monitoring over the internet or an intranet.
