First vandal resistant indoor fixed dome network camera

Lund, Sweden

The AXIS 216FD V is a high performance, fixed dome network camera specifically adapted for indoor locations potentially exposed to vandalism. Compact, discreet and vandal resistant, the AXIS 216FD V Network Camera is said to be perfect for video surveillance in areas such as schools, stores, banks and prisons.

"The AXIS 216FD-V perfectly fulfills the market's demand for a vandal-resistant, yet discreet and easy-to-install video surveillance solution for indoor locations," said Johan Lembre, Vice President, Product Management of Axis Communications.
The AXIS 216FD-V, with its metal base and durable, transparent cover, is a vandal-resistant complement to the successful AXIS 216FD Network Camera, which was launched in April 2006. Both network cameras use progressive scan technology and advanced image processing to deliver crisp, digital images of moving objects, even in low light conditions down to 1 lux. The network cameras can deliver up to 30 frames per second in VGA resolution and provide simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video streams to optimize both image quality and bandwidth efficiency over an IP network.
The AXIS 216FD-V has a built-in microphone as well as connections for an external microphone and speakers, enabling two-way audio communication. This makes the camera suitable for video surveillance and remote monitoring applications that require the added ability to listen in on an area and communicate instructions, orders or requests to visitors or intruders. The camera also provides event management capabilities such as video motion and audio detection, and pre-and post-alarm image buffering. Power over Ethernet allows power to be delivered to the AXIS 216FD-V via the network, reducing cabling requirements and installation costs.
The AXIS 216FD-V supports IPv6 in addition to the standard IP protocol version 4 as insurance against the growing shortage of IPv4 addresses. It also offers sophisticated network security and management capabilities such as HTTPS encryption, IEEE802.1x for port-based authentication, and support for Quality of Service (QoS), which enables reservation of network capacity and prioritization of mission-critical surveillance in a QoS-aware network.
The AXIS 216FD-V is supported by the industry's largest base of application software through the Axis Application Development Partner program, as well as the AXIS Camera Station video management software.
