Axis: new generation of network video products. Axis will be introducing a range of new generation network video products at Ifsec with the first chance in Europe to see two new network cameras and two new video encoders which support the latest H.264 compression technology.

Using H.264, storage and bandwidth requirements can be reduced by more than 80 % compared to Motion JPEG and as much as 50 % compared with MPEG-4 Part 2 standard, all without compromising image quality.

Two new network cameras which support H.264 make their European debut at Ifsec. The P3301 Network Dome camera is a fixed dome designed for unobtrusive video surveillance in sensitive indoor environments. The company has also announced its P3301-V featuring vandalresistant casing.

Both cameras can utilise Power over Ethernet. In addition, two new video encoders incorporating H.264 compression technology will be demonstrated: the Q7401 Video Encoder and Q7406 Video Encoder Blade which support one and six analogue channels respectively.

These encoders enable analogue cameras to be integrated into a powerful IP-based video surveillance system. A new 19 inch rack solution, the Q7900, holds up to 14 hot-swappable video encoder blades and can support up to 84 analogue cameras offering one of the industry’s highest density rack solutions. The Q7401 and Q7406 incorporate an encoder for H.264 to reduce bandwidth and storage demands without compromising image quality.
