Axis Communications has unveiled its new product line of high-performing, flexible and scalable network video solutions, thermal network surveillance cameras for the Indian market. The two unique products – AXIS Q1910 and AXIS Q1910-E – complement any network video system that is required to secure an area requiring round-the-clock surveillance. The new cameras use thermal imaging, which allows users to detect people and incidents with great reliability, even in complete darkness and other difficult conditions.
Thermal cameras create images based on the heat that always radiate from any object, vehicle or person. This allows operators to detect and act on suspicious activity. These cameras are designed to complement conventional cameras within area protection, perimeter monitoring and building security, monitoring of highways and railways –platforms, bridges and tunnels and are also used for law enforcement.
Oh Tee Lee, Regional Director, South Asia Pacific Region, Axis Communications, said, “The analog thermal cameras have proven a challenge to integrate with modern video surveillance systems. Axis’ thermal surveillance camera range has changed 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.”
According to Prakash Prabhu, Country Manager, Axis Communications, India, “Axis currently holds 31.2% market share in the global network surveillance camera category, aims to make significant inroads into the Indian market, which is projected to grow to US$89.2 million by 2010. Axis will continue its pursuit of technology leadership through a push for HDTV technology and H.264 compression standard complaint products. We have also opened our network video products for third-party applications which will contribute to development of innovative video content analysis software.”
