When it comes to enabling next generation security – surveillance is fast becoming the need of the hour and Axis has got a lot of products and solutions for meeting different surveillance needs of the society.
As part of our India’s Spectacular Gadgets – special reviews – we reviewed some of the latest offerings form Axis.
AXIS M30 Series
The compact palm-sized design of the new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series allows them to be discreetly installed in indoor locations.
They can easily be repainted in any desired color to blend in with the environment and are ideally suited for video surveillance applications in hotels, restaurants, retail shops, offices and schools.
AXIS M3044-V provides HDTV 720p video up to 30 fps with HDMI support that enables live streaming to an HDTV monitor for public viewing.
AXIS M3046-V provides 4MP resolution up to 30 fps and offers HDMI support as well. AXIS M3046-V can also be used as an alternative to a camera with varifocal lens – its 4MP resolution and digital PTZ capability enable sharp, cropped out views in HDTV 1080p, for example, with a horizontal field of view between 95° and 125°.
AXIS Camera Station 5
AXIS Camera Station 5 is a full-featured VMS for mid-sized installations comprising from 4 to 50 IP cameras. Together with the AXIS S10 Series of network video recorders and Axis’ IP products it offers a complete video surveillance monitoring and recording solution.
The user interface of AXIS Camera Station has been designed for ease of use. The ’Operator Mode’ provides a dedicated interface for efficient operation that meets the requirements of the occasional user as well as the more active user in larger installations such as, malls, educational institutes and manufacturing facilities.
AXIS Perimeter Defender
Axis Communications offers a complete perimeter defense solution with the addition of AXIS Perimeter Defender, a scalable and flexible video analytics application for intrusion detection in the enterprise market.
Combined with Axis’ network cameras, Axis network horn speakers and third party video management software, the application forms a comprehensive, video-based solution for effective perimeter surveillance and protection, designed to reinforce physical access control in demanding and large-scale installations.
Designed for easy installation, configuration and management, AXIS Perimeter Defender uses edge-based video analytics for maximum accuracy, efficiency and scalability.
The application supports multiple detection scenarios including several types of intrusion detection and loitering. It specifically meets the needs of high-security perimeter protection scenarios such as power plants, chemical plants and demanding installations where there is a need to reinforce the physical access control system with reliable intrusion detection.
AXIS Multisensor Panoramic Cameras
The new multisensor panoramic cameras provide high-resolution 360° and 180° video surveillance coverage. The cameras are ideally suited for monitoring large open areas or to cover several viewing directions.
The cameras are ideally suited for video surveillance in airport terminals, railway and metro stations, city surveillance installations such as monitoring public squares, perimeter security for critical infrastructure and industrial sites, video surveillance of university campuses and school halls, or shopping mall security both indoors and outdoors, including parking lots.
AXIS P3707-PE comprises four camera heads that can be repositioned along a circular track to point in the desired viewing direction. Each camera head can be individually tilted and adjusted to provide a 108° to 54° horizontal field of view for either wide or zoomed-in views.
AXIS P1244 Network Camera
AXIS P1244 Network Camera offers a cost-effective solution for indoor applications that require exceptionally discreet surveillance. The high-performance HDTV 720p modular camera features a thumb-sized sensor unit that is connected via a cable to a small main unit.
It allows for versatile mounting options and is ideal for use in stores and banks, and for integration in tight places such as in ATMs and ticket/vending machines.
The modular concept divides a camera into different parts: a sensor unit comprising a lens and an image sensor, a main unit that houses the processor, network and power connections, and a cable that connects the sensor unit to the main unit.
The modular concept allows for the discreet installation of a small sensor unit where needed while the main unit can be placed elsewhere where there is space.
AXIS intelligent i-CS lens
The intelligent i-CS lens in the new high-end fixed cameras can directly exchange information with the camera thanks to an open protocol.
Quick and easy installation, intuitive configuration and high performance are coming together.
Thanks to several motors inside the i-CS lens, both zoom, focus and iris opening can be remotely adjusted.
Furthermore, the exchange of information between the i-CS lens and the camera enables easier setup of Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Barrel Distortion Correction (BDC). This reduces the time needed for setup and enables easy installation.
AXIS A8105-E Network Video Door Station
AXIS A8105-E Network Video Door Station secures your premises and simplifies visitor management by combining a full-fledged IP camera, a communication device, and a convenient door opener in one discreet unit.
The door station is only 48 mm (1.89 in) wide and the small form factor enables mounting even on door frames and mullions.
AXIS A8105-E is a full-featured video surveillance camera with intercom and door opener capabilities. In addition to physical access control it can also be used for video monitoring. Incidents taking place in front of the door can be recorded, and audio and video analytics can alert operators to situations as they occur.
This makes AXIS A8105-E an effective complement to a video surveillance system while also providing physical access control.
