Axis network cameras

Axis offers a wide range of cost-effective, high quality network cameras for securing people and property, remotely monitoring equipment and facilities, and for sending live images and sounds for remote learning, troubleshooting or Web broadcasting. 

An Axis network camera can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and sends live video directly over an IP network such as a LAN, intranet or the Internet and enables users to view and/or manage the camera using a standard Web browser or application software on any local or remote computer on a network. It allows authorized viewers from different locations to simultaneously access images from the same network camera(s).

With a built-in Web server, Axis network cameras do not need a direct connection to a PC or any other hardware or software to capture and transfer images. They operate as stand-alone units and require only a connection to an IP network by wired or wireless means. Images can be stored either on the hard disks connected to a PC or a dedicated storage server on the network.

Axis network cameras have digital inputs and outputs (I/O). Digital inputs that are connected to alarm devices or sensors can, for instance, be used to trigger the transmission of images from a camera to a select destination for recording, or request that e-mail alerts or SMS notification be sent, for example, to a mobile phone. Digital outputs enable you to remotely, or automatically upon alarm, close or open doors, turn lights on or off, or control other devices. Network cameras also have image buffers that can save and send the images collected before an alarm occurred.
