AXIS P33 Network Cameras, designed for installation in indoor and harsh outdoor environments, are the makers say suited a range of video applications.
?“AXIS P3346 is the first fixed dome on the market with P-Iris, which ensures superb image quality” says Phil Doyle, regional director, Northern Europe, Axis Communications. “These three megapixel cameras are an attractive addition to AXIS P33 Series that offers customers new benefits in terms of easy installation and high-quality video surveillance.”
The new fixed domes can deliver 3 megapixel resolutions at 20fps, as well as wide screen HDTV 1080p video at 30fps. The P-Iris control allows the camera to optimise the iris position for depth of field, lens resolution and incoming light to produce image quality with it’s claimed sharpness in all lighting conditions.
All three available models, indoor, indoor vandal-resistant and outdoor vandal-resistant (AXIS P3346/-V/-VE) can be installed through the combination of smart features such as remote zoom for adjusting the angle of view over the network and remote focus that eliminates the need for manual focusing. Outdoor models are designed with a cable gaskets enabling flush wall mounting and requiring no extra sealant, and the dehumidifying membrane eliminates any humidity caught in the camera during installation. In addition, AXIS P33 Series offers accessories including a new IP51-rated drop ceiling mount kit that protects the camera from condensation and dust that may exist in the plenum space above the drop ceiling.
Moreover, these fixed dome network cameras support multi-view streaming, allowing up to eight view areas cropped from the full view to be streamed simultaneously. By streaming the selected areas of interest only instead of the full view, the use of network bandwidth and storage is optimised. Each view can be digitally zoomed in, panned and tilted. Installation costs are reduced the firm adds by simulating several virtual cameras with one multi-megapixel camera.
