Visual Tools Brings HD Monitoring for Axis Communications Cameras

Visual Tools' new AX-TV wireless video decoder makes it easy to monitor and manage high-resolution video for Axis Communications IP cameras.

The Video Technology Provider Visual Tools has used its expertise in video monitoring and management in the IP environment with the development of the AX-TV wireless video decoder, aimed at enhancing the functionality of the supplier's video surveillance cameras Axis Communications.

AX-TV is a small device designed especially for offices, hotels or small businesses that allows up to sixteen Axis devices to be viewed on an HDMI TV and manage their configuration and display on screen with a remote control.

This system does not require a PC for operation, as it allows the visualization of video surveillance cameras on the local network itself, via WiFi or via the Internet, with configuration and selection of different views via the remote, to view the cameras one at a time or in quadrants of 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4.

The decoder supports image formats of 4:3 and 16:9, as well as the different resolutions of IP cameras, and even with resolution up to 1,280×720 Pixels, as long as the device supports it. Otherwise, AX-TV upscales the picture to fill the full screen.

In multi-viewer quadrants, This device only asks the cameras for the resolution with which they are displayed on the screen to optimize the bandwidth consumed; if the latter is very small, You can limit the maximum resolution provided by the cameras by editing their respective profiles from the settings menu.
