DVR Security System Review

The Axis video server rack is 19 inches in width and it accommodates the blade versions of the Axis video server range.  The Axis video server range serve the purpose of allowing you to integrate analog security cameras into a digital security system.  The front of the 0192-004 has a total of 12 slots to accommodate Axis video servers, you can attach video servers to the device without having to turn it off.  Video servers that are compatible with the rack include the Axis 241Q, 240Q and the 241S.  This leaves out the Axis 243Q, this device has to be connected to the Axis 291U video server rack.

Expanding on a security system is simpler when security cameras are attached to the rack as opposed to a standalone DVR, more often than not you are unable to increase the amount of channels available on single DVR, with the rack you can simply attach another video server to the device. Video servers can be housed neatly with the rack, there are cover plates on the front of the device to prevent dust build up when the slots are not in use.

The casing of the Axis video server rack is composed of aluminium, the back of the device has a power input and there is a power supply module fitted to the inside.  The video server rack has 1 BNC video input and there are also alarm inputs and outputs fitted to the device.  Ethernet connectors can also be found at the back of the rack so you can control and monitor cameras attached to it over a local area network or through the Internet.

The back of the device also has RS-485 and RS-232 serial communication ports, these can be used for cameras that have pan, tilt and zoom features.  At the back of the rack you will also find a 12 volt DC power output, you can use this to power a multitude of devices such as external infra red sensors or alarms.  Setting up the Axis video server rack will take some expertise, each video server blade has a serial number on the front panel, you will have to make a note of this in order to set up IP addresses for networking your surveillance cameras.
