High-density video encoder rack solution AXIS Q7406 Video Encoder Blade from Axis Communications is a six-channel blade for video encoder rack solutions, enabling large numbers of analogue cameras to be integrated into an IP-based, high-density video surveillance system. When AXIS Q7406 blades are used with AXIS Q7900 Rack, up to 84 analogue cameras can be supported in one 4U, 19-inch rack.  Reduced bandwidth and storage needs AXIS Q7406 offers the highly efficient H.264 video compression, which drastically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. Multiple, individually configurable video streams AXIS Q7406 can deliver multiple, individually configurable video streams from each channel at full frame rate in all resolutions up to D1 (720x480 in NTSC, 720x576 in PAL). This means that for each channel, several video streams can be configured with different compression formats, resolutions and frame rates for different needs.  Wide range of analogue PTZ cameras supported All Axis video encoders connect to analog pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras to allow for easy operation of these PTZ cameras across the IP network. Axis' open policy ensures simple and fast integration with most analogue PTZ cameras on the market by including software drivers for more than 25 different analogue cameras, including products from American Dynamics, Bosch, Canon, Panasonic, Pelco, Philips, Samsung, Sensormatic and Sony. Other features include: Intelligent capabilities such as enhanced video motion detection and active tampering alarm External inputs and outputs that can be connected to devices such as sensors and relays, enabling the system to react to alarms and activate lights or open/close doors Image setting adjustment to improve images before encoding takes place Open Application Programming Interface (API) for software integration, including VAPIX® from Axis Communications

Axis introduces HDTV image quality and precise iris control in new fixed network camera series
Axis introduces HDTV image quality and precise iris control in new fixed network camera series

Axis Communications, the market leader in network video, announces AXIS P13 network cameras, a new series of fixed day and night cameras with superb image quality including HDTV video and H.264 streams. Introducing simplified installation with the unique focus assistant, remote back focus and pixel counter features, these cameras are the perfect choice where high-performing video surveillance is required. "AXIS P13 Network Camera Series introduces the concept of precise iris control enabling higher contrast, clarity, resolution and better depth of field thereby delivering superb megapixel/HDTV video in both indoor and outdoor applications," says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications. "This new series of network cameras also offers remote back focus capabilities in combination with the pixel counter feature, digital PTZ and multi-view streaming, making them the perfect choice for securing locations such as governmental buildings, retail environments, airports, railway stations and subways." AXIS P1343 Network Camera delivers SVGA resolution, whereas AXIS P1344 and AXIS P1346 models offer 1MP/ HDTV 720p and 3MP/HDTV 1080p respectively, in compliance with the SMPTE standards in resolution, colour representation and frame rate. AXIS P1346 introduces a new level of image quality with the unique P-Iris control, also supporting DC-iris for backward compatibility. This model also supports multi-view streaming allowing separate video streams of zoomed in sections at the same time as a downscaled full overview image. Adding up, AXIS P13 Network Cameras offer two-way audio support with enhanced audio quality, video intelligence such as video motion detection, audio detection and detection of camera tampering attempts. For further flexibility regarding storage and bandwidth usage, AXIS P13 Network Cameras offer support for an optional SD/SDHC memory card for local video recordings. AXIS P13 Series provides multiple, individually configurable video streams in H.264 compression, significantly optimising bandwidth and storage utilization, without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility. All models support Power over Ethernet, reducing installation costs by eliminating the need for power cables. AXIS P13 Network Cameras are supported by the industry's largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner program as well as by AXIS Camera Station. The cameras will be available to order in Q3 2009.
