Axis Communications, a leader in network video, is showcasing high resolution network cameras featuring its new Forensic WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology at the IFSEC International exhibition, which takes place from 20-22 June at London ExCeL
Axis is has brought its new Forensic WDR technology to several new network cameras, enhancing the ability to capture detail in challenging light conditions and allowing surveillance operators to see forensic levels of detail in both dark and bright areas at the same time. In addition, Forensic WDR enables this ability both for high-resolution cameras and for surveillance areas with high levels of motion in a unique way.
“Forensic WDR pushes the borders and even allows for multi-megapixel cameras to reveal the details in scenes with difficult light conditions,” said Petra Bennermark, global product manager, Axis Communications. “With our new wide range of fixed domes offering from 5-megapixel resolution up to 4K, we make this technology available for both customers with limited means and for applications exposed to the harshest conditions.”
Axis cameras featuring Forensic WDR include new additions to the AXIS P32 and AXIS Q35 Series of network cameras. The new AXIS P32 models (AXIS P3227-LV, AXIS P3228-LV, AXIS P3227-LVE and AXIS P3228-LVE) fixed domes deliver outstanding video performance with multi-megapixel resolution in full frame rate up to 4K, featuring Forensic WDR, OptimizedIR and Zipstream, says Axis.
The new AXIS Q35 cameras (AXIS Q3517-LV and AXIS Q3517-LVE) offer electronic image stabilisation and IK10+ rating, making them ideal for harsh environments. They address the need for monitoring in multi-megapixel detail at full frame rate, offering Forensic WDR, Lightfinder, OptimizedIR and Zipstream.
Also showcased at IFSEC are AXIS M3047-P and AXIS M3048-P network cameras, which benefit from the company’s enhanced Zipstream compression technology to deliver 360-degree coverage in a cost-effective way. The enhancements support the increased data streaming and storage demands of 360-degree panoramic cameras and 4K resolution. Zipstream ensures that important forensic details of video footage are maintained, while minimising bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50 per cent or more.
The compact fixed mini dome ‘fisheye’ cameras AXIS M3047-P, with a 6-megapixel sensor, and AXIS M3048-P, with a 12-megapixel sensor, both deliver full frame rate video and excellent image quality, says the company.
“Combining these new 360-degree domes with the enhanced Zipstream technology really does deliver a cost-effective solution for customers, providing comprehensive coverage while ensuring the detail of that panoramic view is not lost when streaming and storing data,” said Bennermark.
