After the product launches of AXIS P56, AXIS Q61 and AXIS V59 PTZ dome network cameras earlier this year, Axis Communications has launched four new entry-level HDTV models in its family of AXIS P55 pan/tilt/zoom dome cameras.
AXIS P5514 and AXIS P5515 are indoor cameras suitable the Swedish firm says for monitoring auditoriums, shopping malls and hotel receptions. The P5514-E and P5515-E are outdoor versions, for surveillance of small outdoor areas such as schoolyards and car parks. Pictured is the installation kit for the P55 series.
Erik Frännlid, Axis’ Director of Product Management, says: “AXIS P55 has been appreciated by customers for its dependability at an attractive price point. The new camera models offer enhanced performance, while still being offered at pretty aggressive price. Together with our recent product launches – AXIS Q61 Series for mission-critical applications, AXIS P56 Series for demanding mid-range installations, and AXIS V59 Series for live streaming and web casting – they demonstrate our commitment to providing customers with the market’s widest range of pan/tilt/zoom cameras.”
The makers say that the P5514 is for indoor applications such as shopping centres and hotel receptions. It is an HDTV 720p camera with 12x optical zoom, and with IP51 protection against dust. The P5515 model offers the same zoom performance and dust protection but features HDTV 1080p resolution for more image detail.
The P5514-E is an IP66-protected outdoor camera that is resistant to water, wind and snow. Its HDTV 720p resolution and 12x zoom makes it suitable according to the company for monitoring small outdoor areas such as schoolyards, car parks, car dealerships and more. The HDTV 1080p version, AXIS P5515-E, offers a higher resolution as well as 12x zoom and IP66 protection.
Compared to previous generations of the cameras, the new P55 models provide increased analytics. Built-in intelligent functionalities include audio detection and Advanced Gatekeeper, allowing the cameras to detect an object in a specified area and zoom in on it. With their support for AXIS Camera Application Platform, other video analytics applications can be downloaded to the cameras.
The outdoor models, P5514-E and P5515-E, as well as the indoor models, P5514 and P5515, are available through the company’s distribution partners.
