Axis Communications, the global market leader in IP video (IPV)1[1], has released Axis Camera Management, a free Windows utility to manage its range of IP video cameras.
Roy Alves, Managing Director of SCS Distribution, exclusive distributor of Axis products in Africa, said: "IP video has compelling cost, scalability and ease of deployment benefits, but it does require a crossover between traditional CCTV installation know-how and IT network management.
"Customers have asked for simpler management, and Axis has responded. Axis Camera Management simplifies the tasks of installing and managing network video cameras."
Often, the LAN administrator`s primary concern when a new LAN-based technology is introduced is the impact it will have on his network management responsibilities. Recognition of the need to ensure minimal impact from implementation of IP video led to the development of Axis Camera Management, which may be freely downloaded from www.axis.com.
The software automatically finds and sets IP addresses of cameras and video servers, shows connection status and manages firmware upgrades. It is designed to handle hundreds of devices with point-and-click simplicity in a real-time display. The administration costs of your camera network are greatly reduced and optimum efficiency assured.
