New from Axis Communications, the Swedish network video product company, is the AXIS M7011 video encoder. The single-channel encoder offers the makers say integration of analogue CCTV cameras into an IP-based video system. The M7011 provides H.264 video compression in a small package, without any limit of the number of individually configured video streams, the firm says.
The encoder is said to be suitable for all analogue camera types, both fixed and pan/tilt/zoom cameras. Featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE), the same Ethernet cable is used for both data and power, for flexible installation. The encoder also features a card slot for edge storage with microSDTM cards or NAS (Network-Attached Storage). AXIS Camera Companion and AXIS Video Hosting System are supported. The product is available through Axis distribution channels.
