IP outdoor cameras

Axis Communications’ product range now includes several features that make the installation and use of IP cameras in outdoor environments more cost efficient and reliable.

Typical applications for these outdoor-ready cameras range from railway stations and university campuses to city surveillance and traffic monitoring and do not require external housing. When possible, they include pre-installed cables and brackets needed for the installation. The outdoor-ready models are powered over the ethernet via the same cable that carries video data. This means that the installer only has to connect one cable to the camera. With large-scale systems with hundreds of cameras, these time-saving features reduce the installation costs.

To shorten the installation time even more, Axis introduces remote zoom and remote focus capabilities in its new fixed dome outdoor cameras. For fixed cameras, the installer traditionally has to adjust the field of view and focus manually on site, which may be both difficult and time consuming. Now multiple cameras can be configured very efficiently from a single networked computer.

All Axis outdoor-ready cameras are IP66 rated, resisting dust particles as well as powerful water jets. The cameras are equipped with built-in heater and fan, ensuring optimal performance in all weather conditions.
