The AXIS P1428-E Network Camera from Axis Communications is the Swedish firm’s top-of-the-line model in the compact AXIS P14 Series. The company’s first 4K resolution camera, it offers the latest generation of HDTV standards and features a resolution four times higher than HDTV 1080p. The new AXIS P1428-E is suitable the makers say for overlooking large areas like parking lots and public squares while also being able to capture fine details.
The 4K standard is defined and approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and offers a video resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at 30 frames per second.
The P1428-E camera is the top-of-the-line model in the compact AXIS P14 Series, designed for outdoor and demanding indoor use the makers say. The P14 Series consist of seven network camera models ranging from HDTV 1080p to 4K for customers to select the camera that meets their specific requirements and budget. The new P1428-E features remote zoom and focus, a built-in slot for micro SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards and I/O connectors for interfacing with external devices.
Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications, says: “Simply put, 4K offers four times the resolution of HDTV 1080p. It is an established industry standard both in motion picture production and for consumer displays with a dramatic pace of market penetration. Now it’s time to make use of this new technology also in video surveillance. An important factor in the development of this first Axis 4K camera was to bring the new industry standard into a product series intended to be implemented into practical use from day one. Initially, it is likely that most customers will be using a standard HDTV monitor. 4K makes it possible to enhance any portion of the screen without losing details. To manage bandwidth consumption, users can view the live video stream in HD 1080p and take advantage of 4K recordings for forensic purposes. “
Axis adds that it was among the first companies to introduce HDTV network cameras in the surveillance market. The AXIS P1428-E Network Camera with 4K resolution is planned to be available in Q3 2014 through Axis’ distribution channels.
