Axis
announces AXIS Guard Suite, a series of robust video analytics applications
that quickly turn Axis network cameras into smart security systems, allowing a
more pro-active approach to video surveillance.
The offering targets small and
medium-sized installations with an easy to install and affordable solution for
efficient surveillance that is well suited for commercial, industrial and
public grounds, buildings, and indoor areas.
Axis
Communications, the market leader in network video, introduces AXIS Guard Suite
of video analytics applications, expanding its portfolio for video surveillance
solutions with an easy to install and affordably priced video analytics
offering. The applications, available for various monitoring needs, complement
Axis’ range of network camera solutions and are easily integrated with AXIS Camera Station
- a proven video management
system (VMS) optimised for Axis’ network video products.
“With
AXIS Guard Suite you can enhance the video surveillance capabilities of network
cameras and turn them into even more powerful devices. Now also small and
medium-sized businesses can benefit from efficient detection capabilities,
resulting in fewer false alarms and missed incidents along with more effective
investigative features. AXIS Guard Suite is an ideal cost-efficient and
reliable add-on that will enable our customers to ensure safer and better protected
premises and assets,” said Peter Friberg, Director Solution Management, Axis
Communications.
AXIS
Guard Suite now offers a reliable solution for use in low-traffic areas such as
after-hour monitoring of retail shops and offices, parking lots and other
unattended areas where reliable motion detection is needed. In addition, other
video motion detection features are available through Axis’
application development partners that
provide a broad range of video analytics that work with Axis network video
products.
AXIS
Guard Suite provides robust detection as video analysis is performed directly
on the camera’s uncompressed video stream, and supported by AXIS False Alarm
Filtering technology for high reliability.
The
AXIS Guard Suite offers three applications:
·
AXIS
Motion Guard: For
general motion detection, typically on premises that are supposed to be empty
after hours, e.g. parking lots, construction sites, etc.
·
AXIS
Fence Guard: For
protection of a fenced-off area by detecting attempts to climb or sabotage the
fence
·
AXIS
Loitering Guard:
For detecting suspicious behaviour in semi-public areas where loitering may
pose a security issue
AXIS
Guard Suite is designed to be installer-friendly. The applications are
downloadable from the AXIS
Camera Application Platform (ACAP) gallery and easy to install and
configure, with an intuitive user interface, contextual help and smart
configuration options. A quick five-step setup wizard guides the installer
through calibration, area, filters and custom profile settings (e.g. for night
time, windy days, etc.)
AXIS Guard Suite is planned to be available in Q4 2015
at a suggested retail price of USD 149 per application and camera 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.
“The Axis cameras have proved exactly the right fit for London Underground here at Canary Wharf station. As we move to 24-hour operation on London Underground stations in a few months’ time, reliability and ease of maintenance are all key operational requirements. Axis cameras have met all these needs and I anticipate they will be deployed in other Jubilee Line extension stations as they are upgraded over the next few years.” Dave Perry, Delivery Manager, Station Capital Expenditure, London Underground.
“ Chester Zoo now has a video security platform which is highly reliable, expandable and future-proof. We know that whatever our requirement in terms of security intelligence, video analytics and integration, it’s now possible with our new IP video system. Speed and appropriateness of response to threats is now assured.” Nigel Peers, Security Manager, Chester Zoo.
“Observit offers a turnkey solution that gives you complete control of the entire process, from simple installation to monitoring of the cameras in each bus and the collection of image material. The entire process is covered in a highly functional and quality manner.” Bram Lauwers, Product Manager Digital Services at Nobina.
“Our analogue system was no longer as innovative as it once was; upgrading to HD IP camera technology made complete sense to us as we strive to maintain our status as the leading event facility in Northern Ireland.” Brian Hughes, Group Head of Facilities at The Odyssey Complex.
“Today the new system is only used if there is a security incident. But in the future we expect managers in specialist areas like visual merchandising to access cameras to assess whether agreed store layouts for new lines are being observed and whether these are working for store visitors.” Lee Bingham, Head of IT, Paul Smith.
“Wireless cameras on the front of the buildings have proven to be a huge asset. Following the initial installation, we noticed an individual attaching a scanner to the cash machine. We’d never had this additional vision before and therefore would not have identified this fraudulent activity prior to the installation.” Phil Parker, Venue Operations Manager at Twickenham Stadium.
