Axis Communications, the Swedish network video product manufacturer, introduces two new bullet-style HDTV network cameras for day and night use. The AXIS P1435-E and AXIS P1435-LE feature Axis’ Zipstream technology that lowers bandwidth and storage requirements by an average 50pc or more compared to standard H.264 compression, the firm says.
Lightfinder technology enables the P1435-E and P1435-LE to capture colour video even in very low light according to the company. The cameras also feature Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) – Forensic Capture, allowing them to handle complex scenes with high contrasts for example when sunlight creates both very bright zones as well as dark shadow areas.
Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications, says: “With AXIS P1435-E and AXIS P1435-LE we are introducing two compact and cost-effective bullet-style IP cameras offering the latest image processing technologies for clear identification even in the most challenging light conditions. Both cameras can be installed indoors as well as outdoors, preferably with our new weather shield, designed to protect the camera against heavy rain.”
The P1435-E and P1435-LE feature a compact low-weight casing and integrated bracket for wall or ceiling mount. A range of mounting accessories are available. The products offer remote zoom and focus for fine-tuning the picture from a computer as opposed to at the camera itself. A pixel counter assures that the required pixel resolution is met.
Axis’ Corridor Format allows for full use of the 16:9 aspect ratio when monitoring narrow view areas such as staircases, hallways, aisles or tunnels. P-Iris control ensures optimal depth of field, resolution, image contrast and clarity. The cameras offer an I/O port that can be used for notification to an alarm panel or control of a relay or similar. Power over Ethernet supplies power to the cameras via the network, which eliminates the need for power cables and reduces installation costs. The P1435-LE also features Axis’ OptimizedIR, a power-efficient infra-red LED, automatically illuminating any scene taking place in complete darkness, for discovering objects at a range of up to 30 meters (100 ft).
The cameras include support for AXIS Camera Application Platform and ONVIF for camera system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities. The products are available through Axis distribution channels.
