How To Solve Surveillance Needs With Axis IP Video

Digital, Axis IP video surveillance provides flexibility and advanced functions that cannot be matched by CCTV analog security systems. But, who is this for? No matter the industry, all who need video surveillance can benefit from the convergence and digitization of the security industry which provides:

• Remote accessibility
• High image quality
• Event management and intelligent video
• Easy, future-proof integration
• Scalability and flexibility
• Cost-effectiveness

Remote Accessibility

IP cameras and video servers can be accessed remotely, from anywhere in the world. No need to be on-site to view live or recorded video.

High Image Quality

To clearly identify people, license plates or other objects in question, video surveillance needs high image quality. IP video surveillance systems are fully digital thereby guaranteeing no loss of quality, resolution, or compression even over long distances. Digital images are easily stored and retrieved. No video tapes are used.

Event Management & Intelligent Video

Video surveillance running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year equals too much video and too little time to properly analyze it. IP cameras and video servers use built-in intelligence to filter out the long, boring hours where nothing interesting happened. IP cameras and video servers can detect events such as audio triggers and motion and automatically respond by recording video, sending alarm notifications by email, turning on security lights or playing a pre-recorded audio message.

Future-Proof Integration

Network video products based on open standards can be easily integrated with computer and Ethernet-based information systems, audio or security systems and other digital devices, in addition to video management and application software. For instance, video from a network camera can be integrated into a Point of Sales system or a building management system.

Scalability & Flexibility

A network video system can grow with a user’s needs. IP-based systems provide a means for many network cameras and video servers, as well as other types of applications, to share the same wired or wireless network for communicating data; so any number of network video products can be added to the system without significant or costly changes to the network infrastructure.

Cost-Effectiveness

An IP-Surveillance system typically has a lower total cost of ownership than a traditional analog CCTV system. An IP network infrastructure is often already in place and used for other applications within an organization, so a network video application can piggyback off the existing infrastructure. IP systems also support Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology which enables the use of only one ethernet cable to send and receive video, camera control commands, and power to operate the unit. No separate audio, RS-485, or electric cabling is required.
