For complete and easy-to-use monitoring of up to 3 rooms and hallways, you need look no further than the Axis 2100 Starter Kit (3-pack). This system is ideal for intruder detection or surveillance in your small business or in school offices, or in any other application that requires remote monitoring. The Axis 2100 Starter Kit includes three Axis 2100 cameras, and a CD-ROM with Axis Camera Recorder software on it and three licenses for use on different machines.

The Axis Camera Recorder software is easy to install and maintain, and enables live video recording to be done continuously, on a schedule, from an alarm or when motion is detected. This software will also send you alarm alerts by email or by notification sounds and lets you search for specific recordings by date, time or event. With a built-in Web Server and a direct network connection, the Axis 2100 cameras allow high-quality remote surveillance from any browser on the network, and provide full Web-based control of its various management and configuration functions. Connecting directly to Ethernet networks, or to your local ISP using an external modem requires no special hardware or software for installation or use.

Each 24-bit color camera utilizes a high-end 0.25-inch Sony progressive-scan CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor, with a resolution of 640-by-480 pixels and a minimum illumination down to three Lux. The Axis 2100 comes with a replaceable, standard 4mm wide-angle CS lens, equivalent to a 35mm lens on a standard camera with aperture 2.0, with rotational focus control that can focus from 0.5-millimeters to infinity. Backlight compensation, AGC (Automatic Gain Control), automatic and preset white balance, and exposure times ranging from 1/30,000 to 0.7 of a second ensure a higher picture quality. With five different compression levels generating high-quality JPEG still images and motion-JPEG video, the cameras can provide images at up to 10 frames-per-second (frames per second). Each camera has eight megabytes of RAM and uses two megabytes of internal flash memory that allow for simple firmware upgrades. Powered via a 12-volt external power supply (included), each camera generally has a seven-watt maximum power consumption. Each unit can operate in temperatures from five to 40-degrees Celsius.

Supporting TCP/IP, SMTP, HTTP and other protocols, the Axis 2100 can be configured and managed via its own simple Web-based administration tools through the use of a regular browser, and can be used in mixed environments such as Windows, Macintosh, Unix and others. The Axis 2100 also has built-in support for the Axis 2191 Audio Module (sold separately), which allows live audio on your camera. Also included is a general input/output connector that can be used with Infrared sensors, door sensors, motion detectors, and other external devices. The 2100 also features a conveniently hidden push button on the front to adjust focus and other functions.

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) support allows you to use your Axis 2100 remotely over a serial link, just as if it were located on your local network. The cameras can be easily configured for remote use via your PC and the supplied null modem cable. Because of the Axis 2100's self-contained Web server, your digital images can be secured like any other Internet host. Using the unit's security settings, which includes support for multi-user password protection, an administrator can assign whether individuals, groups, a whole company or the whole world can access the cameras. In order to ensure maximum reliability and ease of use, the Axis 2100 is based on the Linux operating system, giving users access to free, open-source functionality.

Technical Features:

Sensitivity: 3 Lux to 10,000 Lux
Resolution: 640 by 480 pixels
Focal range: 0.5 millimeters to infinity
Frame rate: up to 10 frames per second
Dimensions: approximately 10 x 15 x 4 centimeters (W x D x H)

In short, the Axis 2100 is a reliable, economical and high-quality monitoring system designed to be used over the Internet or internal networks in small business applications. Intended for indoor use only (the CCD sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light), this camera is optimized for use with Netscape, although Axis provides an ActiveX component for use with Internet Explorer. Note: The Axis 2100 is a discontinued model and will be supported by Axis through February, 2008.

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.

About IP Cameras
An IP camera can be used to project images and video directly through a computer's Web browser for remote monitoring. An IP camera, unlike a web cam, contains the IP and Web page within it and can often be added to a network without additional configuration or software. Combined with a network video recorder, an IP camera can be used to construct a reliable video surveillance system.

Navagation is horrible.......2003-11-26

First off, the picture quality is great. I have a 53 inch Sony HDTV and the picture is great. There are so many features in this baby you'd get sick trying to tweak it all. The only issue I have is the navagation features are horrible. Trying to fast forward or rewind 3 seconds if you missed something someone said takes 3 minutes to get where you need to go. The remote sucks big time.

Dont waste your money.........2003-09-27

If you need a DVD player, buy another one but this. Only lasted aprox 16 months and then just quit working without warning

like many others here..........2003-09-25

my husband received this as a gift about 4 months ago and it died this evening. No power, nothing working. Strange how they manage to make it work within their 90 day parts and labor window. Now? It would cost as much in shipping and labor as it will to buy the new Sony my husband is out buying as I type.

Only good for a year.......2003-09-05

Bought this as a gift for my husband, but we have been too busy to use it. We just started using it to play DVD's for our daughter & crackle pop - out went the power (one year & one month after we got it). It was cheap, but probably cost us $1.50 a viewing if we calculate it out by how many times we used it. Doesn't seem like a great value. On a brighter note - it worked fine when it worked!

Poorly designed, and built with underrated components.......2003-06-28

I gave it 2 since it did work for a few months under EXTREMELY LIGHT USE! I even turned off the hardware power button after each use, but it was pointless since the player still died with only about 50 hours of runtime.

It turns out this player has a very poorly designed power supply unit, that uses underrated capacitators. Apparently this might not be the only Apex unit affected by this, but I think it might be a combination problem with the underrating and the fact that there has recently been a bad strain of capacitators in Asia. Whatever the cause, use underrated capacitators sure doesn't help!

Very annoyed, although hopefully I will be able to get my unit working again after replacing the capacitators. If you notice red lines showing up on your LCD display on the front of your unit and the display is dim, PLEASE STOP USING THE UNIT! Further use will eventually cause the capacitators to explode. If you catch it in time theoretically the capacitators could be replaced, although I don't know if anybody's actually gotten this to work. =(

Get The Full Focus .......2005-09-10

I bought this card thinking I could simply plug it in my pci slot and update driver and install software plug it into my DV Sony Camcorder and WOW can download all my home movies. Well to my suprise as soon as I installed it (which of course is a breeeeeze - come on its just a PCI card) I lost sound. I currently run Creative Audigy Platinum 2 with external output as well. I was kinda shocked after thinking about it - why in the hell do I need this card? It is just a card that gives you firewire capability? Digital 100%? Well it's a firewire port so anything Firewire is going to be this way (that's why Apple developed it in the first place). The box says external ports have less quality but of course they are talking about USB ports which are a JOKE when referring to video editing (those are just for idiots ). I have since unintalled the card and my sound started working again. Which I must say I have a MONSTER system to large to mention now, I built it myself - just to give you an idea of where I am coming from. So after saying all of this I must say the card so good for the price - but if you want to kill two birds with one stone try to get an external output center that accepts 1394 ports and buy a dv/1394 cable (like the one that comes with this package) and you would be doing yourself a favor. What about the software you need you say? HA - As you've probably read here, you will need to get better software anyways - unless your just starting out. The main reason I would say this is a very good card for what is does is because of the price/quality ratio you get for it. I'm not rating a 4 because of my problems with it - just think a PCI slot is a value not to used litely! And if you are buying this card then you are more likely to be other things internal for your computer. Have fun if you buy you probably won't be that bad off, just think of other options (and of course they always questionable compatibilty questions which you only know once you buy it).

Great value, works perfectly.......2004-07-02

It's hard to believe this FireWire card is less than $50, and comes with PC Magazine's top-rated consumer video editor: Ulead VideoStudio. I've used a lot of video editors and it has the best combination of power and usability.

great value...........2003-02-21

For the price, i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this little package. I have a relatively old computer - p3 500 w/ 192mb ram, and a 16mb voodoo3 video card - all on windows 98.
The card installation was a breeze, and the installed software was great. I had my first movie made in two days.
I've used this for a month now w/ no complaints. Highly recommend it.

To anyone who thinks that this card allows you to capture analog video from your VCR, DVD or TV, think again! This is simply a Firewire interface for your PC; it does not have analog inputs for audio/video and does not perform analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion.

Software is useless, Card okay.......2001-08-27

The card installed and works fine. The software on the otherhand is useless. I mistakenly believed the reviews I read here and other places, including CNET and even the articles on ADS's site. I'm not sure what sort of editing these people are used to but NLE software should do far more than allow for single track sound editing and confine users to basic cutting tools with very little control of the video clips. Horrible, useless software package. I regret being cheap. Spend the money for a good Firewire card that comes with useful software, like Premiere.
