Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02694-004 is a tower-form video server designed for network video surveillance deployments. It supports up to 16 camera licenses and ships with 8 terabytes of onboard storage, making it suited for mid-to-large-scale security installations that require local recording capacity. This unit is intended for professional integrators and security technicians who need a self-contained recording platform that can be installed in a server room, utility closet, or equipment rack environment.

The 02694-004 is used in commercial and enterprise surveillance environments where centralized video storage and license management are required. Typical deployment involves connecting IP cameras through a network switch to the server, which handles recording, storage, and playback functions. It is appropriate for facilities such as warehouses, office buildings, retail spaces, and campuses requiring continuous multi-channel recording. Installation and configuration is performed by qualified security system integrators or network technicians familiar with IP video management systems.
