Russia Gets It

Found some news today about Axis Communications, regarding the announcement of the company opening a new sales office in Moscow, Russia.  Moscow has had a great interest in IP Cameras, installing them in the Moscow Metro system, promoting safety for riders.  The Metro now contains over 3,000 Axis network video products with a further potential for installations.  According to the Axis website:

Axis network cameras and Axis video servers are now installed at three of the Moscow metro’s 12 lines. The network video products are part of an integrated security system aimed at improving safety and security for passengers and staff on the subway trains. Allowing remote access to video on the moving trains, the products enable visual verification of alarms and quick responses by security personnel to any event. Moscow metro’s video surveillance installation has been conducted by Axis’ partner and systems integrator, Metrokom.

Axis, based in Sweeden, has offices in 18 countries, and works with clients in over 70 countries.
