Axis Announces Indoor Vandal-Resistant PTZ Domes
For Overview Surveillance of Public Areas
Vandal-resistant AXIS M50-V cameras provide an
affordable and robust solution ideal for indoor
surveillance to efficiently identify potential
threats
CHELMSFORD, Mass. – March 20, 2013 –
Axis Communications,
the market leader in network video, today
announces indoor, vandal-resistant,
ceiling-mounted pan/tilt/zoom dome cameras. AXIS
M50-V PTZ Dome Network Cameras are affordably
priced for remote and discreet monitoring of
indoor areas, such as schools, train stations,
boarding areas and warehouses. The discreet and
affordable solution makes it possible to improve
security and effectively manage one or more
locations with remote monitoring capabilities.
The
compact, lightweight and easy-to-install AXIS
M50-V features a robust casing that provides
protection against vandalism. The IP66- and
IK10-rated cameras are resistant to water, dust
and vandalism (see video). Additionally, the
network cable is protected in the ceiling mount
to enhance tamper protection. Both models
provide a number of advantages and benefits for
monitoring and securing public areas, including
automatic alerts for motion detection, camera
tampering or when someone enters a restricted
area.
“AXIS M50-V cameras combine affordability and
functionality in a discreet, vandal-resistant
PTZ,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager,
Axis Communications Inc. “The ability to offer
these features in one camera will be
instrumental in helping to secure environments,
like those in retail and transportation, that
may often face changing layouts, vandalism or
environmental factors such as dust and water,
while still benefiting from flexible, overview
surveillance.”
AXIS M5013-V and AXIS M5014-V add high-quality
and vandal-resistant versions to the compact and
affordable
AXIS M50 Series. Like the entire AXIS
M50 Series, AXIS M50-V features either SVGA or
HDTV-standard 720p resolution. The
vandal-resistant PTZ domes can also deliver
multiple, individually configurable H.264 and
Motion JPEG video streams simultaneously.
Further features of the AXIS M50-V include:
• |
AXIS M5013-V provides full
frame rate SVGA
800x600 pixel resolution, while AXIS M5014-V
delivers 720p HDTV video with 1280x720 pixel
resolution, progressive scan, HDTV color
fidelity, full frame rate and a 16:9 format. |
• |
The cameras are powered using
Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af), which simplifies
installation since a standard network cable will
carry power, video and PTZ controls. |
• |
Built-in memory card slot for
optional local storage. |
• |
The camera can easily be
integrated with existing security systems and
with other products. |
The camera is supported by the industry’s
largest base of video management software
through Axis’
Application Development Partner Program and
AXIS Camera Station. The camera also
includes support for
AXIS Camera Application
Platform,
AXIS Video Hosting System and
ONVIF
for easy camera system integration and for
application developers to provide the camera
with intelligent capabilities. AXIS M50-V also
supports
AXIS Camera Companion for a small
system solution.
AXIS M5013-V and AXIS M5014-V are planned to be
available in Q2 2013 for $599 and $699 MSRP
respectively through Axis’ standard distribution
channels. For photos and other resources, please
