10 Jun 2014

The new compact, rugged and discreet AXIS P39-R Network Camera Series is specially designed for video surveillance in buses, trains, tram cars and other rugged environment vehicles.

Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, announces AXIS P39-R Network Camera Series offering protection against dust and water and able withstand tough conditions such as vibrations, shocks, bumps and temperature fluctuations. AXIS R39-R Series also features active tampering alarm function that allows for the detection of tampering attempts such as blocking or spray-painting.

“AXIS P39-R Network Camera Series offers high image quality, HDTV resolution, substantial processing performance and edge storage to demanding customers,” says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications. “An important factor in the development of the new AXIS P39-R Series, was to make it easy for customers to upgrade their existing installations. Hence the AXIS P39-R Series shares the same physical interface as the very successful AXIS M31-R Series.”

The AXIS P39-R Series includes AXIS P3904-R network camera with HDTV 720p resolution, AXIS P3905-R with HDTV 1080p resolution and AXIS P3915-R with HDTV 1080p resolution as well as audio-in and I/O capabilities. Each of these variants is available with either a male RJ45 connector or a rugged M12 connector.

The cameras are specially adapted to respond quickly to changes in light levels, ensuring that high image quality is maintained. In addition, the use of progressive scan enables the cameras to show moving objects without distortion. Traffic Light mode helps to better distinguish colours of traffic lights in very dark scenes.

The AXIS P39-R Series allows for a quick and reliable installation. The desired field of view and a levelled image can be easily achieved by using the supplied lens tool to direct and rotate the ball that holds the lens and image sensor. The tool can also be used to exchange and focus the lens when a lens with a different angle of view is required. The cameras provide a pixel counter for verifying that the pixel resolution of an object meets specific requirements.
