NETWORK CAMERAS NETWORK CAMERAS Watch anything, from anywhere at any time The video surveillance market is thriving, driven by increased public and private security awareness. At the same time, the market is rapidly undergoing a technology shift where analog CCTV systems are being replaced by network video – a technology that started at Axis. Axis invented the first network camera in 1996, and continues to lead the market.

Video streaming, PoE / TECHNICAL CORNER 31 TECHNICAL CORNER VIDEO STREAMING Many Axis network video products offer users the option of more than one video compression format. The video compression standards include Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC). H.264 is the latest compression standard that offers the most efficient format for compressing video, enabling great savings in bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality.
TECHNICAL CORNER / QoS, H.264 RECORDING SOLUTIONS 31 QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) As different networks, such as telephone, data and video (CCTV) all continue to merge into a single IP network, it becomes more and more important to control the sharing of network resources, to fulfill the requirements of each service. By using Quality of Service (QoS), network applications can co-exist on the same network, without consuming each other’s bandwidth.
P-Iris, AXIS Camera Application Platform / TECHNICAL CORNER 33 P-IRIS P-Iris is an automatic and precise iris control. It involves a P-Iris lens and specialized software that optimize image quality. The system is designed to address the shortcomings of an auto-iris lens by providing drastic improvements in contrast, clarity, resolution and depth of field. In bright situations, P-Iris limits the closing of the iris to avoid blurring (diffraction) caused when the iris opening becomes too small.
TECHNICAL CORNER / Megapixel, HDTV RECORDING SOLUTIONS 31 MEGAPIXEL The higher the resolution, the more details can be seen in an image. This facilitates the identification of objects and persons – important considerations in video surveillance. Megapixel resolution allows the same scene to be viewed in greater detail, or a larger scene to be viewed at a maintained resolution. The higher resolution also means that digital pan/tilt/zoom can be used without causing a drop in resolution.
Thermal imaging, ONVIF / TECHNICAL CORNER 35 THERMAL IMAGING Thermal cameras detect radiation in the infrared (IR) spectrum, which is outside the range of visible light and near-infrared light. Ordinary visible light has wavelengths of 0.4-0.7 µm. This is what the human eye can see, and also what standard, non-day/night cameras can detect and display. Light at this part of the spectrum requires a radiation source, e.g. the sun or a lamp. Near-IR light, with wavelengths of 0.7-1.
TECHNICAL CORNER / Lightfnder technology, Edge storage RECORDING SOLUTIONS 31 Lightfinder Technology A day and night network camera can deliver excellent color images during the day. As night falls and light fades, the camera can automatically switch to night mode to make use of near infrared (IR) light to continue to deliver video. However, the images produced in low light condition are typically in black and white. But with the Lightfinder technology Axis has mastered the art of low light video.
Axis’ Corridor Format / TECHNICAL CORNER 37 Axis’ corridor format Axis’ Corridor Format provides a vertically-oriented, “portrait”-shaped video stream ideal for monitoring areas that are more vertical than horizontal in shape, such as staircases, hallways, aisles, roads, runways, tunnels, and similar spaces. In these situations, the traditional landscape format is not optimal since a large part of the field of view – specifically the edges of the image – is redundant.
TECHNICAL CORNER / Preparing your network video project PREPARING YOUR NETWORK VIDEO PROJECT Main considerations 1. Define the scene and type of network video products required > Scene: What kind of scene do you want to monitor? How important is it? This will help you determine the features you would like to have in a network camera, such as video quality, light sensitivity and type of lens. > Lighting conditions: level of indoor and/or outdoor light sensitivity required.
Tools and resources / TECHNICAL CORNER 39 TOOLS AND RESOURCES Axis offers a variety of tools and information resources to help design IP surveillance systems. Many are accessible from the Axis website: www.axis.com/tools Axis Product Selector This tool helps you find and compare products from the Axis product portfolio.
