is a high-performance video server designed to bridge the gap between traditional analog CCTV systems and modern IP-based networks
The 2400’s true genius was not hardware, but open standards. In 2000, most security hardware was locked to proprietary software (e.g., "Works only with Sensormatic DVRs"). Axis did the opposite. They published the API for the 2400 openly. They made it serve M-JPEG over HTTP—a format any web browser could read. Axis 2400 Video Server
The primary purpose of the Axis 2400 is to act as a bridge between old and new technologies. It converts analog video signals from up to four cameras into high-quality digital streams using Motion JPEG (MJPEG) compression. is a high-performance video server designed to bridge
The Axis 2400 didn't invent IP surveillance; it legitimized it. And in doing so, it quietly presided over the death of the VCR and the birth of the video byte. Enables existing analog cameras to be integrated into
At first glance, it looks like a boring external modem from 1998. It’s beige, plasticky, and covered in proprietary ports. But this unassuming brick is the unsung hero of your smart home. Without the Axis 2400, there would be no Ring Doorbell, no Nest Cam, and probably no "IoT" (Internet of Things) as we know it.
Video Inputs: 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 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.
