Axis Communications has unveiled a range of Infrared (IR) enabled network cameras which aim to perform video surveillance in complete darkness
The network cameras feature the company's IR functionality including pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) and fixed dome cameras, bullet, fisheye and panoramic cameras and discreet sensors units.
IR’s ability to allow cameras to ‘see in the dark’ allows 24/7 surveillance without the need for additional lighting to enabling ultra-discreet surveillance in sensitive locations.
By launching several new cameras which feature built-in IR illumination, Axis aims to deliver the benefits of IR in a cost-efficient way to indoor or external surveillance need. In addition, Axis OptimisedIR technology, featured in some of the new models, features power-efficient and patented IR LED technology. It uses the light to enable an even illumination over the complete camera view.
Peter Rietz, director for product management at Axis Communications, commented, “Being able to integrate OptimisedIR in a broader range of our network cameras and a variety of form factors means that customers have more ability than ever before to reap the benefits of IR.”

With OptimisedIR reaching 200 metre or more, the camera focuses on helping in city surveillance applications. The built-in IR LEDs are seamlessly adaptable to the camera zoom, while Axis Sharpdome technology provides full scene fidelity and sharp images both above and below the horizon.
AXIS M3057-PLVE & AXIS M3058-PLVE
With great overall performance and capabilities such as Axis OptimisedIR, Lightfinder, Forensic WDR and Zipstream technologies, these new single-sensor panoramic cameras are perfect for providing 180°/360° coverage indoors as well as outdoors.
