Unveils Unique Direct Drive PTZ Dome Network Camera with
HDTV Performance for Wall-mount Installation
Specially designed for outdoor
surveillance with built-in wall bracket, direct drive
technology enables easy-to-install PTZ camera with high
mechanical endurance
CHELMSFORD, Mass. – May 13, 2013 –
Axis Communications, the world leader in network video
surveillance, today unveils AXIS P5414-E PTZ Dome Network
Camera, the first in a new line of uniquely designed
outdoor-ready pan/tilt/zoom domes with “direct drive”
technology meant for wall-mounting. The new
HDTV 720p-quality PTZ dome with 18x optical zoom is
ideal for use in city and perimeter surveillance
applications, parking garages, campuses and schoolyards, and
outside of retail and medical buildings.
The intelligent direct drive pan/tilt system found in AXIS
P5414-E facilitates easy wall-mount installation and
supports mechanical PTZ endurance by limiting the amount of
moving parts. The camera is directly attached to the drive
shaft of two motors – one for panning and another for
tilting the camera. With no mechanical parts such as belts
or gears, AXIS P5414-E creates a durable and highly
efficient pan/tilt system to provide customers with a
reliable and robust PTZ camera. Other innovations include a
built-in wall bracket that eliminates the need to purchase a
separate mounting accessory, which provides additional
cost-savings and makes installation quicker and easier. See

movie.
With the ability to pan 270°, AXIS P5414-E can also be
mounted on the corner of a building using a corner mount
bracket to enable wide area coverage and high optical zoom
for detailed surveillance in HDTV resolution.
“About half of all PTZ cameras [installed today] are mounted
on walls.
AXIS P5414-E addresses this market with a unique design,”
says Erik Frännlid, director of product management, Axis
Communications. “The result is an attractively priced,
high-performance HDTV PTZ camera that’s easy to install.”
AXIS P5414-E features an integrated sunshield designed for
easy removal, allowing customers to paint it to match the
installation environment. This sunshield’s sloping form
helps the camera resist attempts by vandals to pull it down.
The camera has a hidden junction box that supports two-way
audio, a memory card slot, four configurable inputs/outputs
to external devices, and the option to use either 24 V DC or
Power over Ethernet Plus (IEEE 802.3at). AXIS P5414-E also
supports
Advanced Gatekeeper, which enables the camera to
automatically pan, tilt and zoom to a preset position when
motion is detected in a predefined area.
AXIS P5414-E is expected to be available in July 2013
through Axis distribution channels at the suggested retail
price of $1599.

compliance with the SMPTE 296M standard for
resolution, full frame rate, HDTV color fidelity and
