Sized for Smaller Systems
Axis qualifies the S1224 for 32 video channels and 64 doors with up to 300 Mbit/s of recording, tested with 20 live view clients and 2 clients doing heavy playback. It ships with 24 Core Device NVR licenses, and more can be added as the site grows. When a system outgrows it, AXIS S30 Series recorders add devices without replacing the server.
Expandable Storage
One 12 TB enterprise SATA drive (7200 rpm) is installed and the second bay is empty. Adding a drive allows RAID 1 mirroring for redundancy or RAID 0 for more capacity; the RAID level is not configured at the factory. AXIS Site Designer can estimate the storage a design needs.
Efficient and Secure
A 450 W Platinum power supply keeps typical consumption at 55 W (70 W maximum). A FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified TPM 2.0 protects keys for encrypted operating system and recording drives, and Secure Boot and SBOM are included. The datasheet lists it as TAA compliant.
Installation
Dell Ready Rails 1U static rails and a C13 to C14 cord for a rack PDU are included, and iDRAC 9 provides remote server management. The server is not intended for local viewing, so pair it with an AXIS S9301 Mk II workstation for monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Elementary and middle schools
- Retail stores and restaurants
- Small offices and branch locations
- Clinics and dental offices
- Houses of worship and community centers
- Small warehouses and service yards
