Axis
Since 1996, when Axis launched the world’s first network camera for connection to an IP network, the company has been the leader in network video solutions. Axis currently offers a broad range of network cameras and video servers for a large number of applications, the most prominent solutions being in the areas of security and remote surveillance. Today, the portfolio comprises a broad range of video solutions, cameras and servers for installations ranging from entry level to professional level.
The advantages of IP-camera’s over analog video surveillance are numerous, that’s why IP-camera’s are becoming the new standard in video surveillance. With Axis network video solutions you can take advantage of the most advanced features of network video surveillance.- Superior
image quality
Image quality is clearly one of the most important features of any camera, if not the most important. Superior image quality enables the user to more closely follow details and changes in images, making for better and faster decisions to more effectively safeguard people and property. It also ensures greater accuracy for automated analysis and alarm tools. Axis network cameras provide high-quality video images, and megapixel and HDTV network cameras are available to provide even more image details. - Remote
accessibility
With network video, users can access real-time video at any time from any authorized computer anywhere. Axis network video products provide an easy way to capture and distribute high quality video over any kind of IP network or the Internet. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be transported over the LAN or Internet. - Easy,
future-proof integration
There are almost no limitations as to where a network video product can be placed. Axis network video has the capacity to provide a high level of integration with other equipment and functions, making it a continually developing system. A fully integrated Axis network video system can be used for a multitude of applications simultaneously: for instance, access control, building management, point-of-sales systems, ATMs, as well as fire, intruder and visitor management. - Scalability
and flexibility
An Axis network video system can be expanded by adding more network cameras. You can choose exactly what you need today, and scale the system at any time to meet your growing needs. New technologies, additional cameras, and extra storage capacity can all be easily added as required, thanks to strict adherence to industry standards. - Cost-effectiveness
Based on open standards, Axis network video products run on IP networks. Using standard PC server hardware rather than proprietary equipment such as DVRs radically reduces management and equipment costs, particularly for larger systems where storage and servers are a significant portion of the total solution cost. Additional cost savings come from the infrastructure used. IP-based networks such as LANs and the Internet can be leveraged for other applications across the organization. - Distributed
intelligence
These days, a massive amount video is being recorded, but never watched or reviewed due to lack of time. As a result, events and activities are missed, and suspicious behaviors remain unnoticed. With network video, intelligence has been brought into the camera itself. Network cameras can have built-in video motion detection and alarm management so the camera decides when to send video, at what frame rate and resolution, and when to alert a specific operator. Other unique features include audio detection and active tampering alarm.
Incorporate existing analog video surveillance systems
You may already have analog video surveillance, but the technology shift to network video does not, however, mean that existing analog CCTV investments have to be discarded. With an Axis network video solution, you can integrate your existing analog system into an IP-based solution.
