Endless possibilities for video surveillance.
Meeting today’s
video surveillance challenges
The video surveillance market is booming,
driven by increased public and private security concerns, as well as a technology shift.
The transition to network video is a reality
as customers take advantage of flexible, industry standard systems for security and
video surveillance. As security management
over the IP network expands and intelligence
capabilities move out to network cameras,
systems can scale much more easily. This
move to open systems empowers a much
more productive and cost-effective means of
surveillance than was ever possible.
For the security manager, the shift to network video creates new opportunities where digital
technology can be put to use to deliver maximum value.
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 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.
