Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, recently announces two cost-effective additions to its line of video encoders that have been developed to meet the needs of small- to medium-sized surveillance installations. Offering full frame rate video, AXIS M7016 Video Encoder provides an attractive, cost-effective and easy entry to network video, while the flexible AXIS P7216 Video Encoder adds audio and I/O ports and is equipped with a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slot for use with fibre optics.
“With tens of millions of analogue cameras still in operation around the world, video encoders allow these end-customers to leverage existing investments while providing a scalable solution to network video – now at a more cost-effective price starting at $81 per channel,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications, Inc. “We continue to invest R&D into video encoder technology to increase performance and lower cost so that analogue CCTV users can migrate at their own pace and still benefit from the advantages of IP video. These two new encoders in particular address the needs of small- to mid-sized applications where cost and scalability are often barriers to going fully IP, like in many retail environments.”
