Axis strengthens its outdoor camera offerings

New Delhi: Axis Communications is releasing a number of outdoor-ready products.

“We cooperated very closely with our end users and installers to develop our outdoor camera range. As a result, we are now launching a series of outdoor-ready products that reduce installation time and are ideal for demanding outdoor conditions. Typical applications range from railway stations and university campuses to city surveillance and traffic monitoring,” said Erik Frännlid, Director-Product Management, Axis.

The cameras include pre-installed cables and brackets needed for the installation. “In addition, our new outdoor-ready models are powered over the Ethernet via the same cable that carries video data. This means that the installer only has to connect one cable to the camera,” explained Frännlid.

To shorten the installation time even more, Axis introduces remote zoom and remote focus capabilities in its new fixed dome outdoor cameras. For fixed cameras, the installer traditionally has to adjust the field of view and focus manually on site, which may be both difficult and time-consuming. Now multiple cameras can be configured very efficiently from a single networked computer.

All Axis outdoor-ready cameras are IP66-rated, resisting dust particles as well as powerful water jets. The cameras are equipped with built-in heater and fan, ensuring optimal performance in all weather conditions.
