Comprising of two network cameras, strategically
positioned together at a fixed preset angle, this kit
is all that is needed for the panoramic surveillance
of entire retail stores, banks, transport areas,
offices, or any other critical areas where good
remote video monitoring is essential.

Offering a fixed, panoramic field of view, the
AXIS Panorama PTZ kit provides a Web interface
that allows you to remotely pan, tilt, or zoom
in, live, within any area of the panoramic image.
Using a standard Web browser, multiple users
can independently view different parts of the
panorama, simultaneously. And, because the AXIS
Panorama always streams video in an un-rendered
format, users can always view the recorded images
of something they were not previously looking at
in real time. So, if you do happen to miss a live
incident... you can always look at it later.
Now, you needn’t miss anything!

Image

• Image frame rate: up to 15 frames/sec

• 4 levels of compression are available. The file

size of a JPEG compressed image depends on the
actual content of the image. Images containing
a lot of detail will generate larger files. Image
quality is controlled through the level of
compression. High compression yields smaller
files at the expense of image quality, while low
compression results in larger files, but maintains
image quality. The table below shows average
file sizes, derived from real life tests

• JPEG still images and Motion-JPEG video

• High-speed hardware-based image compression,

generating high quality JPEG images

• Bandwidth control prevents data saturation on

the network.15 frames/sec. typically requires
about 1.5 Mbit/sec
