Axis Communications, the global leader in the network video market, recently announced that the American Security Industry Association (SIA) has selected the AXIS 214 Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Network Camera for a ‘Product Achievement Award: Digital Video Device.’  The judging took place at the 2006 ISC West new product showcase awards program held in Las Vegas, 5th – 7th April 2006.   A panel of security industry professionals viewed presentations on more than 60 competitive products and selected the AXIS 214 PTZ based on its superior image quality and affordable price.

The new product showcase is internationally recognised as one of the security industry’s most prestigious award programs.  It is held each year at the ISC West event, where designers and manufacturers submit their newest electronic security products, peripherals and services for consideration in the showcase.   

Steve Gorski, managing director, for Axis Communications UK Ltd summed up this award by saying:“I am delighted that the Security Industry Association has recognised the AXIS 214 PTZ as a leading and innovative product in its category.  It is an outstanding camera at its price point, offering superior image quality and a full set of features including two-way audio and MPEG-4 compression.”  

The AXIS 214 PTZ is a high performance camera with automatic day/night functionality for professional surveillance and remote monitoring.  It combines a high-quality colour camera with the flexibility of remote pan/tilt/zoom functions.  The AXIS 214 PTZ utilises simultaneous MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG compression to optimise storage and viewing capabilities.  The camera’s range enables it to cover a wide field of view, making it ideal for use in mid-sized businesses.  In addition, its synchronised two-way audio feature enables remote users to listen to and speak with visitors or intruders.
