New from Axis Communications are the indoor AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 network cameras, with support for edge storage, making them suitable the makers say for small businesses, boutiques, restaurants, hotels and residences.
Phil Doyle, regional director, Northern Europe, at Axis, says: “With their video quality in both SVGA and HDTV, and support for edge storage and AXIS Camera Companion, AXIS M1013 and AXIS M1014 are perfectly adapted for retail and other industries that require dependable video surveillance at an affordable cost. These cameras allow store and home owners and other users to experience the resolution, full frame rate, and colour fidelity of HDTV surveillance – without compromising the budget.”
At full frame rate the M1014 offers HDTV 720p / 1 megapixel resolution, while AXIS M1013 offers SVGA resolution. The small and indoor AXIS M10 Network Camera Series come with practical features that help installations with cost restraints: H.264 compression that reduces storage and bandwidth needs, and edge storage, which includes support for storage on MicroSDHC cards as well as recording to network shares such as Network-Attached Storage (NAS). This allows users to build cost-efficient and reliable recording solutions, and can for example be used to achieve redundancy in a system.
Thanks to the support for MicroSDHC cards in the cameras, they are suitable for AXIS Camera Companion, the recently launched intuitive IP video solution for small installations. Recording the video to a MicroSDHC memory card in each camera reduces cost, simplifies installation and guards against a point of failure in the system. The M1013 and AXIS M1014 models are supported by video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner Program, and AXIS Camera Station. The cameras include support for AXIS Camera Companion, Hosted Video and ONVIF for camera system integration.
