They offer video management support as well as Axis’ One-Click Camera Connection for hook-up to a hosted video service over the internet.

These latest models of the M10 Series provide video at 30 frames per second in both SVGA (AXIS M1033-W) and HDTV 720p (AXIS M1034-W) resolutions. They feature WiFi Protected Setup protocol (WPS), which simplifies the process of configuring logical security on wireless networks.
The cameras also feature a passive infrared (PIR) sensor for detecting movement in the dark and a white LED light for illuminating a scene automatically when motion is detected or when activated by the user.
They support two-way audio with microphone and speaker, so that users can listen in on an area besides play back a recorded audio clip to visitors or intruders remotely. I/O ports let a user connect devices such as door sensors to initiate video recording and external relays to activate lights.
