Bangalore: Axis Communication, a network video solution provider has introduced channel video encoder with H.264 video compression. The AXIS M7001 Video Encoder is aimed at integrating small or large numbers of analog CCTV surveillance cameras into an IP-based video surveillance system. Small in size, the video encoder is used in camera housings and in retail stores or banks. A small covert camera is made available with the video encoder in the AXIS M7001 Covert Surveillance Kit. AXIS M7001 Video Encoder designed to be installed close to an analog camera. It converts analog video signals into digital video streams that are sent over an IP-based network. AXIS M7001 is powered over Ethernet using the same cable as for data transmission. The video encoder can, in turn, feed power to the small covert camera that is included in the AXIS M7001 Covert Surveillance Kit. "AXIS M7001 offers network video without having to replace analog cameras," said Erik Frannlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications.
