AXIS 243SA Video Server enables high resolution, full frame rate video surveillance and remote monitoring in MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG. For optimized system integration and network usage, the server converts analog video into high quality, deinterlaced digital video, and can deliver the highest resolution, 4CIF, at 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per second in MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG.

Designed to migrate analog systems into high performance, IP-based solutions, AXIS 243SA offers a number of advanced functionalities such as active tampering alarm, image upload, scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification and simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG. With two-way audio, AXIS 243SA enables users to not only see, but also listen in on an area and communicate requests or orders.
