Axis builds on its success in network camera technology for security and video surveillance with a new product family enabling live streaming and webcasting. AXIS V59 PTZ Network Camera Series is designed to stream and webcast audio and video in a variety of applications such as in auditoriums, classrooms and sports venues, as well as for weather reports and traffic information. The cameras offer HDTV resolutions of up to 1080p at 60 fps, smooth pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), high quality audio, powerful 30x zoom and an open interface for easy integration with other systems.
Axis Communications, the
market leader in network video surveillance, introduces its first products for
streaming, the AXIS V5914 and AXIS V5915 PTZ network cameras. The flexible and
high performance cameras deliver high quality audio and smooth pan/tilt/zoom
capabilities ideal for audio and video production and live streaming and
recording in HDTV quality and can be mounted table-top, wall or ceiling. The
cameras can be remotely controlled via a web interface enabling operation from
mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.
“We are building on our experience and expertise
in security and video surveillance with a new versatile PTZ camera family
specifically adapted for non-video surveillance applications such as live
streaming of events and video conferencing. These new cameras offer high
quality HDTV video and audio as well as many output connections to suit a
variety of uses,” explains Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis
Communications. “While other Axis cameras are being used for some of this
functionality, with AXIS V59 Series we are now able to provide them with a
camera family that is designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of
live streaming and web casting.”
The AXIS V59 Series cameras offer a powerful 30x
zoom and HDTV resolutions of up to 1080p at frame rates as high as 60 fps,
providing smooth video even with many moving objects. While cameras for the
video surveillance market feature fast pan and tilt functionality geared to
quickly capture incidents, the AXIS V5914 and AXIS V5915 offer smooth pan and
tilt functionality. The camera settings are optimised for high-colour fidelity
in HDTV as required for studio environments.
The many input and output connections available
for professional AV (Audio Visual) processing include SMPTE compliant HDTV
streaming with HDMI 1.4 output including audio for connection to an external
monitor, 3G-SDI output for 3GB 1080p at 60fps transmission including audio,
RJ45 Ethernet port, balanced XLR-3 line/mic input with 48V phantom feed for
superb audio in stereo, 3,5mm line/mic in and out and a full size SD-card slot
for edge storage of recordings.
The cameras feature an open Application
Programming Interface (API) for easy integration with other systems and support AXIS Streaming Assistant making video and audio streams easily accessible
by streaming applications such as Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, Microsoft
Expression Encoder or Ustream.com and video conferencing applications such as
Skype for Business (Lync) or Adobe Connect.
The AXIS V5914 and AXIS V5915 PTZ network
cameras are supported by the industry’s largest base of video management
software through the Axis Application Development Partner
Program as well as AXIS Camera Companion, AXIS Camera Station, AXIS Camera Application Platform, AXIS Video Hosting System, ONVIF and VAPIX® for easy camera system integration and for application developers to
provide the cameras with intelligent capabilities.
The AXIS V5914 featuring HDTV 720p at 50/60 fps
and the AXIS V5915 featuring HDTV 1080p at 50/60 fps are planned to be
available in Q2 2015 through Axis distribution channels.

“ Being able to view the footage on our phones in real time and flick between the different cameras in the café is great. We can zoom in on different areas and slow down or speed up the playback.” Jaya Da Costa, Owner of the Pause Cat Café.
