Axis Communications has launched the AXIS 243SA Video Server – the first one-channel video server that supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

The IPv6 internet upgrade expands IP addresses from 32 bits to 128 bits, effectively increasing the amount of IP addresses available from 232 to 2128. The AXIS 243SA provides de-interlaced video at full frame rates in both MPEG-4 and MJPEG compressions. It is particularly suitable for environments where full-motion video is required, such as casinos, airports, traffic surveillance and prisons.

The video server provides integrated two-way audio functionality, allowing users to hear intruders and communicate orders. The server supports dome cameras and pan/tilt/zoom cameras through a built-in serial port. It also includes a range of event-management tools, including video motion detection, pre/post-alarm buffering, and triggered event functionality with alarm notification.

The AXIS 243SA is supported with comprehensive application software through the Axis ADP program. The video server is available through Axis’ distribution channels and retails at around £426 excluding VAT.
