Axis IP-Surveillance. 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.
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 Scalability and flexibility 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.
The IP Way: How it works Protecting existing CCTV investments Significant investments in analog CCTV systems may have already been made. 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.
An Axis network video system is able to send video without the need for a dedicated physical infrastructure. It uses standard IP networks, such as Local Area Networks (LANs) and the Internet, for transporting information, rather than dedicated point-to-point cabling, such as that used in analog video systems. IP NETWORK Axis network cameras Connecting directly to the IP network, they capture and send live video directly over the IP network.
Making the most out of your system With Axis network video solutions, you can take advantage of advanced features that will further enhance your application. Progressive scan: Depicting moving objects clearly Wireless networking: For full installation flexibility Many network cameras employ progressive scan technology that better depicts moving objects clearly.
Total cost of ownership at a glance All the advanced features offered by network video come at a cost. The initial price for a network camera can be higher than an analog camera, if one compares only the camera. But comparing the cost per video channel, the Axis network video system, with all its superior flexibility and performance, quickly becomes comparable with an analog system anchored by a DVR.
