Communications has received recognition from the Japanese Institute of Design
Promotion for its AXIS Q61-E PTZ Dome Network Camera Series. The cameras
feature a unique dome geometry allowing operators to identify objects as much
as 20° above the horizon.
Axis
Communications, the market leader in network video, has been honoured with the
prestigious Good Design Award 2015 for
its AXIS Q61-E PTZ Dome Network Camera Series. The Good Design Award, also
known as G Mark Award, from the Japanese Institute of Design Promotion is a
mark of excellence and gives recognition to innovative product design. It dates
back to 1957 as the sole comprehensive design evaluation and commendation
system in Japan.
The AXIS Q61-E Series
features a unique design concept which resulted from listening to customers and
partners. To better blend in with their environment when mounted, the cameras
are easily repaintable and 45% smaller than previous generations. Their unique
dome geometry enables operators to identify objects above the camera horizon
and the Speed Dry function causes the cameras to vibrate thereby effectively
shaking off water drops in rainy weather.
“With the AXIS Q61-E Series we have broken with conventional designs and
introduced an entirely new dome geometry offering effective video surveillance
of objects located above the camera horizon,” says Erik Frännlid, Director of
Product Management, Axis Communications. “We also took a look at nature and a
dog shaking off water inspired our Speed Dry function that quickly removes
water drops from the dome glass. This prestigious design award win underlines
our commitment to continuously innovate as we strive to provide our customers
with smarter solutions.”
The AXIS Q61-E Series features 30x optical zoom with up to HDTV 1080p
resolution, Lightfinder technology and Wide Dynamic Range to handle difficult
lighting conditions and electronic image stabilisation for smoother video in
windy conditions. A slanted camera design deflects water drops and a non-stick
heated silicone ring prevents ice formation to ensure reliable operation in all
weather conditions. The AXIS Q61-E Series cameras withstand extreme climate
changes thanks to Arctic Temperature Control that allows the cameras to
function at -50 °C (-58 °F). In addition, the cameras support automatic defog,
which, when activated, automatically detects fog in the scene and digitally
filters it out of view to provide clearer video.
The AXIS Q61-E Series was also awarded with the SSA Award 2015 in the category
CCTV at the Safety and Security Show last
week in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, due to its innovative way to manage
different lighting conditions as well as challenging weather conditions.
