Axis announces stainless steel anti-grip corner network camera ideal for video surveillance in correction facilities and psychiatric wards
12 Nov 2014
AXIS
Q8414-LVS Network Camera features vandal-resistant stainless steel anti-grip
casing and built-in invisible IR LED for high quality indoor video surveillance
even in complete darkness.
Axis
Communications, the market leader in network video, announces its first corner-mount
fixed network camera. The new AXIS Q8414-LVS features a stainless steel
anti-grip casing and is extremely impact resistant, supporting the IK10+
50joules rating as well as the IP66/NEMA 4X rating for water resistance. The
24/7 indoor surveillance camera provides superb image quality both during day
and night with capabilities like Lightfinder technology, which enables
life-like colors in low-light conditions, and built-in invisible IR LED
illuminator for video surveillance in complete darkness.
“In
correctional facilities as well as in psychiatric wards, there is an increasing
need to prevent self-harm and avoid internal conflicts among the residents,”
says Erik Frännlid, Axis’ Director of Product Management. “We have developed
AXIS Q8414-LVS keeping in mind that a surveillance camera should lack ligature
points and present an anti-grip design. On top of these features, it should
also offer superb video quality during day and night and be extremely vandal
resistant.”
The
new AXIS Q8414-LVS is ideal for video surveillance of small rooms in premises
like correctional facilities, interview rooms, psychiatric wards, and medical
observation rooms as well as elevators and stairwells. Thanks to a built-in
microphone and the possibility to integrate the network camera into an alarm
system via its I/O port, AXIS Q8414-LVS becomes part of the overall
surveillance solution, an important tool to protect and secure the safety of
the people in high security environments. In addition, privacy masks assure
that restricted areas are not monitored for privacy reasons or to protect the
personnel.
Available
in two color versions, powder coated white (AXIS Q8414-LVS White) and brushed
stainless steel (AXIS Q8414-LVS Metal), the corner-mount network camera offers
1 Megapixel or HDTV 720p video stream. It features P-Iris control for an
optimal depth of field, resolution, image contrast and clarity. The horizontal
angle of view up to 105° covers the entire room without blind spots.
Capabilities such as remote zoom and focus facilitate the optimisation of the
captured view during the installation.
AXIS
Q8414-LVS features a unique design that has been developed to be perceived
softer and less provocative than that of other security installations in
correctional facilities and psychiatric wards. Working closely with prison and
health authorities in several countries as well as system integrators and
installers, Axis designed AXIS Q8414-LVS to feature as few cavities and holes
as possible so prisoners and patients cannot stuff anything inside them and the
camera is easy to clean.
AXIS
Q8414-LVS Network Camera is supported by the industry’s largest base of video
management software through the Axis Application Development Partner
Program, and AXIS
Camera Station. The cameras include support for AXIS
Camera Companion, AXIS
Camera Application Platform, AXIS Video Hosting
System and ONVIF for easy camera
system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with
intelligent capabilities.
AXIS Q8414-LVS is
planned to be available in December 2014 (at a MSRP of $1299) through Axis
distribution channels
