I4S video: Axis Communications develops fixed domes for “demanding light conditions”
The P3384 network cameras, available in indoor and outdoor-ready models, are suitable for installations close to large windows and entrances in buildings, in tunnel passages and other areas with strong variations in light.
This renders these IP cameras ideal for installations at airports, in train stations, for Government and bank buildings and for general city surveillance.
“After the successful introduction of the Axis Q1604, the first Axis’ cameras incorporating wide dynamic range with ‘dynamic capture’, we are now introducing our first fixed domes with the same level of WDR,” said Erik Frannlid, director of product management.
“The new fixed domes provide clear images in demanding light conditions by applying WDR ‘dynamic capture’ of scenes with great variation in light as well as Lightfinder technology to handle extreme low light scenarios.”
Modular design, quick and easy installation
The P3384-V/-VE cameras provide HDTV 720p/1.3MP resolution based on “a top quality 1/3″ image sensor”.
All cameras in the P33 Series offer a modular design with quick and easy installation capabilities, including remote zoom and the pixel counter to ensure that each camera’s angle of view is optimised for the area to be monitored and the required pixel resolution.
Remote focus is included to eliminate the need for manual focusing at the camera.
The support for standard, environmentally-friendly Power over Ethernet requires only one network cable to carry both power and data. This is the case even for the weatherproof models that operate in extreme temperatures from -40 degrees C to 55 degrees C (-40 degrees F to 131 degrees F). The highly efficient H.264 Main Profile option reduces bandwidth and storage needs with up to 20 percent.
The indoor P3384-V and outdoor-ready P3384-VE network cameras both come in vandal-resistant casings.
Video management software support
The P3384-V and P3384-VE fixed dome models are supported by “the industry’s largest base of video management software” through the Axis Application Development Partner Program and Axis Camera Station.
The cameras include support for the Axis Camera Application Platform, the Axis Video Hosting System and ONVIF for easy camera system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities.
These cameras also offer increased processing power, allowing for greatly enhanced performance in video analytics applications.
The cameras are available from Q3 2012.
