Axis 216 FD Tamperproof Dome Camera

A compact, tamperproof casing and progressive scan sensor make the Axis 216 FD a great network camera for retail stores and small businesses

Dome cameras have become security fixtures for most retail stores - perched on the ceiling or back wall, a networked dome camera can help business owners, managers and security staff help control losses, whether it's theft, internal shrinkage, or broken merchandise. The Axis 216 FD network dome camera takes the traditional form of a dome camera, but it's tough exterior and modern features can help retail stores and other service-oriented businesses take their security to the next level.

Progressive Scan Footage Provides Great Footage

The 216 FD's progressive scan footage guarantees clear, crisp footage no matter the conditions. Progressive scan footage from the Axis 216FD means that retail store surveillance will always be high quality and easy to read - making security easier for everyone. The 216FD also offers simultaneous streams - in both M-JPEG and JPEG-4 quality. Using this simultaneous streaming technology, users can fine tune their surveillance system's streams to maximize bandwidth efficiency or optimize viewing experience.

Simple Installation, Sturdy Results

With a one-cord Power over Ethernet setup and flexible mounting, setting up the Axis 216 FD couldn't be easier. What's better though, is that even though it's easy to set up, it's hard to tamper with. The 216 FD has several innovative yet simple features that can prevent camera damage without a lot of fuss. The 216 FD is mounted to the wall using special tamper-proof screws, and the dome glass that is fitted over the camera is affixed to the casing on the interior (rather than the exterior). Setup takes just minutes and these small features go far in preventing vandals from destroying your camera.
