New camera ranges from Axis
The company has introduced the AXIS Q1910 and AXIS Q1910-E Thermal Network Cameras, which use thermal imaging to detect people and incidents in darkness and other difficult conditions.
The cameras are to become available during January 2010.
"Up until now, there have been no full-featured thermal network cameras available on the market, and analogue thermal cameras have proven a challenge to integrate with modern video surveillance systems," Axis Chief Technology Officer Johan Paulsson said.
"AXIS Q1910 and Q1910-E change this by being the industry's first thermal cameras that mesh perfectly with any network video system, delivering all the benefits that customers have learned to expect from network cameras."
Axis has also introduced a complete, IP-based mobile video surveillance solution consisting of a new series of network cameras and a network video recorder for use in buses, trains, subway cars and emergency vehicles.
The AXIS M31-R Network Camera Series and AXIS Q8108-R Network Video Recorder are designed for easy and discreet installation, as well as reliable operation in vehicles.
They are protected from dust and water and can withstand shock, vibrations and temperature fluctuations.
The cameras respond rapidly to changing light levels and employ progressive scan for clearer images of moving objects.
The mobile solution will be available in the first quarter of 2010.
Finally, Axis has announced a new series of four outdoor-ready, high-performance fixed network cameras which are IP66-rated for protection against dust, rain, snow and sun, and can operate in temperatures as low as -40 °C.
Arctic Temperature Control is available for secure start-up of zoom cameras in freezing temperatures.
The cameras are powered by Power over Ethernet for easy installation.
"The cameras are ideal for demanding outdoor applications such as airports, railway stations, city surveillance and traffic monitoring," Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management at Axis, said.
The AXIS P1343-E, P1344-E, P1346-E and Q1755-E network cameras will be available in March 2010.
