Axis strengthens its network video solution offering for small systems
9 Apr 2015
With the continued growth of video surveillance in the SMB market, new solutions that expand storage capacity and flexibility and enhance ease of use for this segment are needed. To meet the cost, installation and maintenance requirements for SMBs, Axis has strengthened its offering specifically for small systems. For efficient storage of video, AXIS Surveillance microSDXC? Card 64GB is a reliable high performance edge storage solution. The launch of AXIS Camera Companion 3 will introduce Axis Secure Remote Access, which improves ease of installation by removing the need of manual port forwarding and router configuration.
Axis
Communications, the world leader in network video, strengthens its offering for
small systems with the launch of AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB, a
memory card optimised for surveillance applications, and AXIS Camera Companion
3, a major upgrade of the multiple award-winning surveillance solution for
small systems. “The penetration of AXIS Camera
Companion in small businesses shows that users really appreciate the
simplicity, ease-of-installation and freedom of use that it offers. This new
version further streamlines the installation process and provides even more
flexibility for small security systems,” says Peter Friberg, Axis’ Director
Solution Management.
For optimal
storage of video content, the new AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB combines
the market and technology know-how from SanDisk, a global leader in flash
storage, with the extensive security system expertise of Axis. “Working with Axis, a
market leader in network video, we have gained unique insight into the needs
and requirements of surveillance applications, thus allowing us to optimise our
products for this use,” says Oded Sagee, senior director and general manager of
Connected and Computing Solutions at SanDisk. “Our
vertically integrated approach and expertise in flash memory enables us to
architect our industrial grade storage solutions to provide the reliability
needed to offer trusted performance that’s absolutely critical for the security
and surveillance markets.” Reliable high performance edge storage
is specifically useful in 1-4 channel AXIS Camera Companion systems, offering
de-centralised video recording and eliminating the cost and the risk with
centralised solutions. The AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB is delivered
with a SD? card adapter and supported by Axis 3-year warranty.
AXIS
Camera Companion software turns Axis cameras into a surveillance solution
that typically comprises of 1-4 cameras and supports up to 16 channels. The new
version, AXIS Camera Companion 3, introduces Axis Secure Remote Access, which
removes the need of manual port forwarding and router configuration, thus
enabling an easy to setup, encrypted communication between cameras and
smartphone or PC clients. “With Axis Secure Remote Access it is evident that
security has been taken into consideration from the start,” says Jonas
Magazinius, security consultant at Assured AB.
In addition,
AXIS Camera Companion 3 offers an updated user interface with several performance
improvements, such as instant camera switching in live view for enhanced user
experience and sharper client de-warping for better image usability of overview
cameras with 360 views. “The combination of AXIS Camera Companion 3, the new
AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB and the recently announced Axis’
Zipstream technology for reduced bandwidth and storage needs futher aligns our
solutions to meet the unique needs of the small systems market,” added Peter Friberg.
The new AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB will be available through Axis sales channels during Q2
2015.
The AXIS Camera Companion solution consists of software running on standard Axis network cameras or video encoders with edge storage support for recording onto AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Cards, a mobile viewing app for operation via smart devices and standard third-party network equipment such as routers, switches and NAS devices.
