Network video surveillance provider Axis Communications has launched a new generation of positioning cameras with faster pan and tilt capabilities. The new range of positioning cameras enables surveillance across large sites with fewer cameras and the potential for 360-degree unobstructed field of view at all times, and 135-degree field of view from ground to sky.
The new lineup of surveillance cameras includes:
- AXIS Q8641-E and AXIS Q8642-E PT Thermal Network Cameras (prices starting at $ 5,799), boasting outstanding thermal contrast and 10∞ field of view, which together with analytics, enables long-range detection and immediate visual confirmation for the operator.
- AXIS Q8685-E/-LE PTZ Network Cameras (prices starting at $3, 599), offering high-video quality with HDTV 1080p, 30x zoom with focus recall, and extreme light sensitivity. The combination of Axis’ Forensic Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and low-light sensitivity ensures the highest image usability in challenging lighting conditions.
- AXIS Q8741-E and AXIS Q8742-E Bispectral PTZ Network Cameras (prices starting at $9,999), offering a combination of two live video streams, one from a thermal sensor – used for detection and verification – and one from a high-definition visual sensor – for identification of colors and details. The cameras also feature 30x zoom, Forensic WDR as well as low-light sensitivity.
Additionally, AXIS Q8741-LE, AXIS Q8742-LE and AXIS Q8685-LE include long-life and long-range IR for improved visibility at night. In places where there is a high risk of window contamination from dust, salt, sand, and fuel emissions, these cameras are equipped with remote-maintenance against rain and dirt using a wiper and washer.
“Our customers need to be able to rapidly identify and respond to incidents and breaches along perimeters,” says Ryan Zatolokin, senior technologist, Axis Communications Inc. “These new range of positioning cameras provide faster pan and tilt capabilities which results in faster response time and a more secure perimeter.”
