Axis Communications, the network video product company, has introduced AXIS P12 Network Cameras, for discreet indoor and outdoor surveillance. The makers say that the cameras can fit into very limited spaces, making them suitable it is claimed for discreet or covert use in stores, banks and ATMs, architectural buildings, hotels and offices.
Erik Frännlid, Axis’ Director of Product Management, says: “These new cameras offer excessive flexibility with its unique design concept, comprising a main unit and a separate sensor unit, enabling them to be mounted up to 8 meters (26ft.) apart. The cameras’ small size and functional design allow them to easily blend in to a variety of environments where space is constricted or a covert installation is required.”
The P12 Series comprises three models; two pinhole models, AXIS P1204, pictured, and AXIS P1214, for indoor environments, and AXIS P1214-E which is an IP66-rated model suited the makers say for indoors and outdoors. Each of the products consists of a small sensor unit with a lens and image sensor, a main unit with electronics and corresponding mounting accessories.
The P12 Series offer HDTV 720p video at full frame rate. The cameras provide multiple, individually configurable video streams in H.264 compression. Motion JPEG is also supported. The cameras can be powered over Ethernet, or by external power supply. Edge storage is supported and recordings can be saved to an optional microSD/microSDHC card or a Network Attached Storage (NAS). The cameras include support for AXIS Camera Companion, Hosted Video, and ONVIF for camera integration. The cameras will be available to order in October 2012 through distribution channels.
