New from Axis Communications is the AXIS Camera Station S20 Appliance Series. The appliances come with the full-featured AXIS Camera Station 5 video management software and preconfigured for use out-of-the-box. The new all-in one recorders include a manageable switch that automatically detects all Axis devices in the system.

The series also features video management software (VMS); and support for 4K Ultra HD. The new S20 Series offers video from up to 24 channels where only the cameras and monitor needs to be added. In addition AXIS Camera Station S10 Recorder Series are updated to offer more storage capacity that also allows expansion for increased video retention time. The new S10 Series can also offer more channels and support for 4K Ultra HD video.

Peter Friberg, Director Solution Management, Axis Communications, says: “Mid-sized businesses and organisations need reliable video surveillance solutions they can trust and that don’t require an expert to install and maintain. Our range of recorders are preconfigured for use right out-of-the-box. This reduces time needed for installation to a minimum and ensures the system is set up optimally. The hardware components have been extensively tested and the performance validated. We underline the quality and reliability. All Axis recorders offers a comprehensive three-year warranty and AXIS S10 Recorders also includes an on-site hardware replacement service.”

The network video recorders are pre-loaded with AXIS Camera Station 5 Universal licenses, video management software (VMS) supporting Axis and third-party IP cameras. Other products from Axis such as door stations for identification and remote entry control or horn speakers for audio communication in video surveillance applications, are also supported. As for the user interface of Camera Station 5, the ‘Operator Mode’ provides a dedicated interface for operation that meets the requirements of the occasional as well as the more active user, according to the company.

Axis’ Zipstream compression lowers storage requirements by an average of 50 percent or more without sacrificing image details, it is claimed.
