AXIS COMMUNICATIONS: Axis adds to growing range of high-performance network cameras with H.264 compression(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:12052008 Axis Communications, the global leader in the network video market1, introduces an addition to its new generation of network video products which deliver multiple H.264 streams and superior image quality. The AXIS P1311 network camera is the perfect solution for video surveillance systems with demanding storage and bandwidth efficiency requirements, such as schools, retail stores, banks and other office buildings. The AXIS P1311 features superior image quality with progressive scan, to provide crisp and clear images in both illuminated and low-light environments. In addition to H.264 and Motion JPEG, it supports MPEG-4 Part 2 for backward compatibility. For further flexibility regarding storage and bandwidth usage in the system, AXIS P1311 offers support for a SD/SDHC memory card for local video recordings. Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) supplies power to the cameras via the network, eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. AXIS P1311 Network Camera also includes video intelligence such as enhanced video motion detection, audio detection and detection of camera tampering such as through blocking or spray-painting. It offers the market's most extensive suite of security and network management capabilities, including HTTPS encryption with preserved performance, IEEE 802.1X authentication, IPv4/IPv6 and Quality of Service. Anders Laurin, executive vice president, Axis Communications commented: "AXIS P1311 provides multiple H.264 streams as well as Motion JPEG streams simultaneously, either in full frame rate, or individually optimized for different quality needs and bandwidth constraints. With its new robust metal casing, this fixed network camera is ideal for areas where a clearly visible camera is preferred for deterrence." Steve Gorski, managing director, Axis Communications (UK) Ltd commented: "This is a high performance network camera featuring H.264 compression designed for demanding surveillance environments. Our new generation of network cameras is set to offer the most comprehensive selection of cameras offering H.264 output on the market today."
