New from Axis Communications is a palm-sized network camera, the AXIS M5065, that comes with 5x optical zoom, auto-focus and built-in analytics. The M5065 delivers HDTV 1080p resolution and includes analytics such as AXIS Video Motion Detection, removed object detection and audio volume and scream detection.
With the camera’s wireless I/O connectivity, you can use an on/off command to control up to six wirelessly connected devices supporting Z-Wave Plus. A user can design a system by themselves, combining camera and accessories, the product company says.
Axis announces four wireless I/O compatible devices:
• AXIS T8344 Power On/Off Plug
• AXIS T8342 Door/Window Sensor
• AXIS T8341 PIR Motion Sensor, pictured; and
• AXIS T8343 Alert Button
Kent Fransson, Global Product Manager at Axis Communications says: “At Axis we are always trying to use the latest technologies to make security less of a hurdle for business owners. By introducing wireless I/O connectivity in a security context, we allow customers to set up an agile surveillance and security system to meet their individual business’ needs, without having to invest a large proportion of their budget on set-up fees. For instance, they can use an AXIS M5065 wirelessly connected to a door sensor to monitor or be alerted if someone opens a door to a cabinet with expensive goods. That is just one example of how a camera with wireless I/O connectivity could make security both easier and cost-effective and we see that it being used more broadly in the future.”
AXIS M5065 Network Camera and its compatible devices will be available in US, Canada and Japan in January 2018 through Axis distribution channels.
