AXIS Camera Station 5 is video management software (VMS) from Axis Communications for mid-size installations of between four and 50 IP cameras.
With the AXIS S10 Series of network video recorders and Axis’ IP products it offers complete video monitoring and recording, the product firm says. The new version introduces hardware decoding, integration of third-party IP cameras and Axis Optimized Rendering for videos with resolutions up to three 4K video streams. A new mobile viewing app allows for remote monitoring.
As for use, the ’Operator Mode’ provides a dedicated interface for operation that meets the requirements of the occasional user as well as the more active user in installations such as larger retail stores, schools and factories, according to the developers.
Camera Station 5 introduces support for hardware decoding and Axis Optimized Rendering. The new ‘Scrubbing’ function allows users to search through video footage from multiple cameras at the same time.
A free mobile viewing app available for Android- and iOS-based mobile devices allows users to view live video from cameras as well as recorded video footage. The software supports 360 degree overview recording, H.264 compression, multi-view streaming, Axis’ Corridor Format, Axis’ Zipstream and camera-based video motion detection.
Other security and video products from the firm such as door stations for identification and remote entry control or horn speakers for remote speaking in video surveillance applications can be used with Camera Station 5. The new version also supports integration of third party IP cameras.
Peter Friberg, Director Axis Communications, says: “System reliability is fundamental in any video surveillance installation. AXIS Camera Station 5 together with our market leading portfolio of IP security products offer a proven and easy to use security solution for installations such as schools, manufacturing sites and more.”
