Axis
Announces World’s Smallest HDTV Bullet-Style Network Camera
Lipstick-sized, bullet-style AXIS M2014-E Network Camera is
IP-66 rated and designed for full flexibility and easy
installation
CHELMSFORD, Mass. – March 19, 2013 –
Axis Communications,
the market leader in network video, presents AXIS M2014-E
Network Camera, the market’s smallest bullet-style,
all-digital network camera. The lipstick-sized camera’s
functional and compact form factor with IP-66 rating makes
it ideal for installations in retail and speciality stores,
hotels and small offices that need affordable, easy-to-use
and future-proof HDTV-quality video surveillance.
AXIS
M2014-E features a unique design concept comprising of a
main unit and a separate 1.3-by-3.0-inch camera unit
connected by a special 26-foot cable. This design allows for
maximum installation flexibility by separating the camera’s
lens and sensor from the main unit that houses components
for image processing, networking, analytics, edge storage
and connection ports (see
video).
“AXIS M2014-E will be an attractive option for many
different surveillance applications because of its small,
discreet design and easy installation,” said Fredrik
Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications, Inc. “Our R&D
and product teams continue to work diligently in line with
partner and customer feedback to create ingenious design
concepts to meet the broadest range of surveillance
applications.”
AXIS M2014-E joins a product portfolio that has expanded to
include more discreet IP video surveillance cameras. The
recently released AXIS P12 Series is an exceptionally
small, pinhole camera, while
AXIS P85 Series is designed for covert eye-level
identification.
Like the AXIS P8514 and entire AXIS P12 Series, AXIS M2014-E
provides HDTV 720p video quality at full frame rate. The
camera delivers multiple, individually configurable video
streams in H.264 compression, greatly optimizing bandwidth
and storage without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG
is also supported for increased flexibility.
The camera, with its built-in memory card slot for edge
storage and support for
AXIS Camera Companion, provides a convenient,
small-scale video management solution, as well as an
important part of a more comprehensive server- or NVR-based
solution.
Additional features included in AXIS M2014-E:
• |
Supports video motion
detection, tampering alarm and includes an I/O
port for connecting devices such as sensors and
relays to activate alarms or access control. |
• |
The camera unit is IP66-
rated, which ensures protection against dust and
heavy rain. |
• |
Power over Ethernet and
DC-power options. |
• |

AXIS M2014-E will be supported by the industry’s largest
base of video management software through Axis’
Application Development Partner Program and
AXIS Camera Station. The camera includes One-Click
Camera support for
Hosted Video and
ONVIF for easy camera system integration.
