The Sarix IXE Series IXE21 2MP PoE Box Camera features SureVision technology which helps the camera achieve better resolution, consistent color science, fast processing power, and simultaneous advanced low-light performance with wide dynamic range (WDR) and anti-bloom technologies. It comes with a 1/3' CMOS sensor and is compatible with standard CS mount megapixel lenses. The camera supports two independently-configurable video streams in addition to a service video stream. These streams can be compressed in MJPEG and H.264 formats across several resolution configurations.

IXE21 includes eight user-configurable behaviors and is capable of running up to two behaviors at the same time. For each behavior, you can create several custom profiles that contain different camera settings. With these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for the behavior, which will automatically detect and trigger alarms when the specific activity is detected. Available Pelco behaviors include abandoned object, adaptive motion detection, camera sabotage, directional motion, loitering detection, object counting, object removal, and stopped vehicle.

This camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) to simplify planning, wiring, and installation. PoE functionality works with PoE-enabled network switches or power injectors, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and cabling, and increases camera fail-safety through an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
