Axis 2400 Video Server

While modern Axis encoders provide higher resolutions (HD/4K) and H.264/H.265 compression, the Axis 2400 set the benchmark for quality and durability in the video surveillance sector. It proved that analog infrastructure could effectively coexist with network technologies.

Up to 25 frames per second (fps) in PAL or 30 fps in NTSC shared across active channels. Key Features and Capabilities Quad-Channel Analog Integration

4 BNC connectors for analog composite video (NTSC or PAL). Networking: 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet (RJ-45). Compression: Motion JPEG with adjustable quality levels.

The AXIS 2400 was more than just a piece of hardware; it was a bridge between two eras. This purpose-built device was designed to "bridge the analog-digital technology gap," allowing organizations to leverage their existing analog cameras while embracing the power of network-based video. By converting traditional analog video signals into high-quality digital streams, the AXIS 2400 provided a cost-effective, one-box solution that helped pioneer the migration of CCTV systems to IP-based surveillance.

You can define specific "windows" within the video frame. If movement is detected, the server can upload images to an FTP server or send an email notification.

Overall, the Axis 2400 Video Server offers a reliable and feature-rich solution for integrating analog video cameras into an IP-based network, making it an ideal choice for various professional video surveillance applications.

The Axis 2400 Video Server is a 1U rack-mountable video server that can handle up to 16 channels of video input, making it an ideal solution for large-scale surveillance installations. With its robust design and high-performance capabilities, the Axis 2400 is designed to provide reliable and efficient video processing, storage, and transmission. The AXIS 2400 was more than just a

Connects up to four traditional analog security cameras simultaneously.

The AXIS 2400 was not a standalone product but the flagship model of a series. The key models were:

Before the dominance of HD-over-Coax or modern IP cameras, large facilities (airports, factories, prisons) were wired with coaxial cable and analog cameras. Ripping out this cabling to install IP cameras was prohibitively expensive. The Axis 2400 solved this by acting as a "bridge." You plugged up to four analog cameras into the back of the unit, connected the server to your LAN, and suddenly those legacy cameras became network devices viewable via a standard web browser. 2 MB of flash. On that

The Axis 2400 Video Server is a specialized network appliance designed to convert traditional analog video signals into digital video streams. By compressing and broadcasting these streams over a standard IP network, the Axis 2400 allowed security personnel to view, manage, and record security footage using standard web browsers and networked computers.

But consider the constraints: 4 MB of RAM, 2 MB of flash. On that, they ran a web server, an RTSP streamer, PTZ control daemons, a four-channel video multiplexer, and motion detection.
