Axis introduces new groundbreaking video surveillance products

Johannesburg, 20 May 2002

SCS Distribution, sole distributor in Southern Africa for Axis Communications, today announced a set of new products that will further strengthen the company`s market leadership on the network video market.

AXIS 250S Video Server is based on next-generation surveillance technology, using MPEG-2 video compression, enabling security solutions with DVD-quality video and sound. AXIS 2420 IR is the world`s first infrared sensitive network camera, allowing high-quality surveillance in darkness and low-light conditions. AXIS 2130 PTZ is a network camera focusing on flexibility, cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

The new AXIS 250S Video Server, based on next-generation surveillance technology is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-performance surveillance applications. Using MPEG-2 video compression, AXIS 250S enhances surveillance applications by delivering DVD-quality video and synchronised CD-quality audio to authorized persons over a LAN or even the Internet. In addition, the video server contains special features such as the ability to trigger external alarms, pre-alarm video buffering and e-mail notification. AXIS 250S is ideal for large security installations in facilities like banks, airports and shopping malls.

With AXIS 2420 Network Camera - IR Sensitive Axis is presenting the world`s first infrared sensitive network camera, a technology leading product for improved security and surveillance in low-light conditions. AXIS 2420 IR is twice as light sensitive as any other networked camera and is suited for low-light conditions. Using only artificial IR illumination, which is invisible to the human eye, the camera produces quality video even in complete darkness without giving away the existence of the camera. While providing a base for a fully digital solution the camera also enables compatibility with existing analogue systems.

For users requiring an all-in-one, easy-to-use, yet powerful, surveillance solution enabling remote control of pan, tilt and zoom functions, the new AXIS 2130 PTZ Network Camera presents an ideal solution. For instance, a small business owner can use just one camera to monitor an entire store, as well as zoom in on critical areas such as the cash registers.
