Axis Communications, the worldwide leader in IP network video surveillance, has recently announced a series of network camera devices that are full featured, high performance and outdoor ready. Each camera comes encased within an IP66 rated outdoor enclosure which will provide protection against dust, rain, snow and sun, and allows for operation in as low as -40 °C. The enclosures provide Arctic Temperature Control which will allow for the secure start-up of zoom cameras in freezing temperatures. The cameras also support PoE (Power over Ethernet) which will allow for easy product installation and will help to reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for additional cabling.
These newly announced outdoor ready network camera devices range to include megapixel and HDTV models, support for MJPEG and H.264 video compression, support for Two-Way audio communication, and include built-in storage support via a SD/SDHC memory card slot.
