Design award for dome

by Mark Rowe

The electronic security distributor Norbain reports that its supplier, the network video product company Axis Communications, has received recognition from the Japanese Institute of Design Promotion for its AXIS Q61-E PTZ Dome Network Camera Series. The cameras feature a dome geometry allowing operators to identify objects as much as 20 degrees above the horizon.

The Good Design Award, also known as G Mark Award, recognises innovative product design. It dates back to 1957 as a design evaluation and commendation system in Japan.

The Q61-E Series to blend in better with their environment when mounted, is easily repaintable and 45pc smaller than previous generations. Their dome geometry enables operators to identify objects above the camera horizon and the ‘Speed Dry’ function causes the cameras to vibrate, thereby shaking off water drops in rainy weather.

Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications, says: “With the AXIS Q61-E Series we have broken with conventional designs and introduced an entirely new dome geometry, offering effective video surveillance of objects located above the camera horizon. We also took a look at nature; a dog shaking off water inspired our Speed Dry function that quickly removes water drops from the dome glass. This prestigious design award win underlines our commitment to continuously innovate as we strive to provide our customers with smarter solutions.”

The Q61-E Series was also awarded with the SSA Award 2015 in the category CCTV at the recent Safety and Security Show in Amsterdam, due to its way of managing different lighting conditions as well as challenging weather.
