Analytics optimised server enhances video surveillance capabilities
AXIS S1228 AI-Optimised Server lets firms to get the most out of their advanced analytics applications
The AXIS S1228 AI-Optimised Server allows businesses to get the most out of their advanced analytics applications, including the free text search capabilities in AXIS Camera Station Pro Smart search.
This ensures users can easily search through video footage from multiple cameras and quickly identify moving objects. The AXIS S1228 Rack AI can handle up to 15 times more detections than a standard server (depending on scene and resolution).
Key benefits include:
- Optimization for Smart search and free text search
- Designed for use in busy scenes and multi-camera installations
- 28 AXIS Camera Station Pro licences with 12 TB storage
- Extensive support and 5-year warranty
In addition to providing lightning-fast Smart search results, the new server can engage actions or notifications based on free text search and pre-classified triggers, such as activating speakers, strobing lights, or alarms when a delivery truck enters the property.
The recording server will be available through Axis distribution channels in April 2025 at an MSRP of $10,499 USD.
Multifunctional display speakers provide combined visual and audio alerts
Network display speakers can integrate with third-party mass news systems to ensure effective contact
The AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker and the dual-sided corridor model, AXIS C1720 Network Display Speaker, are designed to reach more people than standard, audio-only models.
These devices feature an attention-grabbing strobe bar, powerful speakers, and a colour text display to help raise the bar for clear public address in schools, healthcare facilities, transportation hubs, and other protected areas. Built on open standards, network display speakers can integrate with third-party mass notification systems to ensure effective communication when it matters most.
Key features include:
- Combined speaker, display, and strobe capabilities
- Two-way audio with echo cancellation to enhance communication
- Ease of integration and scaling
- Remote health monitoring capabilities
- Content prioritisation and audio zoning to enable custom messaging
