Axis Communications, the network video product manufacturer, has introduced three additions to its AXIS M10 Series of compact cube cameras. The models – AXIS M1065-LW, AXIS M1065-L and AXIS M1045-LW Network Cameras – deliver video in HDTV 1080p resolution, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), infrared (IR) light for use day and night, and connectivity via wireless or Ethernet networks.
The low profile cameras are for install in corners or on walls with the included brackets, and offer 110 degrees field of view – enough to cover a standard room or small retail store, the makers say.
Andres Vigren, Global Product Manager at Axis said: “The AXIS M10 Series offers a complete, easy to use camera, out of the box that is ideal for a range of areas – small shops, boutiques, offices, museums, even residences. With these new additions, Axis introduces feature-rich, high-quality cameras that are easy to install and maintain, and that work perfectly within an existing physical infrastructure.”
All cameras offer local storage via memory cards, eliminating the need to connect to a server to store data. Each camera also feature an IR light that provides better illumination at night, and an IR cut filter for crisper colours by day.
The higher end models – AXIS M1065-LW and AXIS M1065-L – include a built-in microphone for recording audio, a speaker that can announce pre-recorded messages, and a PIR (passive infra-red) motion sensor that detects motion even in the dark and records only when required – thus saving storage capacity for true alarms.
The M1045-LW and M1065-LW are wireless, allowing for connection to existing wireless networks and eliminating the need for extra hardware. The M1065-L offers Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows power and connection to the network via one single cable, for simpler installation.
5V DC powers the cameras and a power supply is included in the packaging with the wireless products. All models have included the combined wall and corner bracket, and come with a standard quarter-inch screw thread that makes it possible to mount it with any optional stand.
The M1065-LW, M1065-L and M1045-LW are planned to be available in August 2016 through the company’s distribution channels. Visit www.axis.com.
