Axis Communications, the network video product company, is demonstrating the newly launched AXIS Perimeter Defender, for large-scale perimeter protection, at Security and Counter Terror Expo 2016 in Olympia, London.
The new product, which recently won the Video Analytics award at ISC West in Las Vegas, is described by the Swedish firm as a video analytics application for intrusion detection for the enterprise market. Axis says it can provide flexible perimeter defence using its thermal cameras and optical pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) cameras, Perimeter Defender and network horn speakers.
The team will be showing the new technology on stand E45 at the Expo, on April 19 and 20. Perimeter Defender uses edge-based video analytics. The application supports multiple detection scenarios including several types of intrusion detection and loitering. According to the company it meets the needs of high-security perimeter protection scenarios such as power plants, chemical plants and installations where there is a need to reinforce the physical access control system with intrusion detection.
Peter Friberg, Director Solution Management at Axis Communications, says: “Scalability is a key challenge in high-security scenarios as a perimeter may require anywhere from 10 to 100 cameras. By performing analytics at the edge, in the cameras themselves, AXIS Perimeter Defender does not depend on a central server to process the video footage. This makes the solution highly scalable, as there is no need for system redesign or expensive hardware replacements each time a new camera is added to the network.”
And Daren Lang, Business Development Manager at Axis, says: “This year at Security and Counter Terror Expo, we’re thrilled to demonstrate our leading perimeter protection solution which brings i-LIDS certified intrusion detection analytics to the edge . Axis has a proven track record in helping secure many critical infrastructure sites across a variety of market segments. Security and Counter Terror Expo presents the perfect platform to showcase innovation, including Axis’ Perimeter Defender and other new products such as those addressing the need for explosion-proof specifications, to the market.”
The firm adds that Perimeter Defender has been certified for sterile zone monitoring applications by i-LIDS, the UK government’s benchmark for Video Analytics (VA) systems developed with the official Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure. Visit: http://www.axis.com.
