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

Companion in small businesses shows that users really appreciate the
simplicity, ease-of-installation and freedom of use that it offers. This new

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

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

de-centralised video recording and eliminating the cost and the risk with
centralised solutions. The AXIS Surveillance microSDXC Card 64GB is delivered

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.
