Axis Introduces Fixed Dome Network Camera for Professional Video Surveillance.CHELMSFORD, Mass. -- Axis Communications Axis Communications AB (XSSE:AXIS) is a manufacturer of IT equipment, mostly known for its print servers and network cameras. According to its latest annual report, it has sold over 500.000 network cameras, thus claiming to be the world leader in that market. , the global leader in the network video market, announced today the AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera, a high performance camera offering progressive scan, Power over Ethernet Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transmit electrical power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. (PoE) and an integrated heater. The network camera has a vandal-resistant, outdoor-proof design that makes it ideal for prisons, campuses, parking garages, railway stations, and other environments where impact resistance and weatherproofing is required. The AXIS 225FD utilizes simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 video compression to optimize both video quality and bandwidth consumption. It also has PoE functionality, according to the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3af standard, which reduces installation costs and consolidates the power source to a central location. The day and night camera uses an automatically removable infrared filter that enables high-quality images under all lighting conditions, including color video in high- and low-light conditions and black-and-white video in dark conditions. "The AXIS 225FD is Axis' first fixed dome network camera, which provides our professional-level customers with increased choice and flexibility," said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager of Axis Communications. "Axis has seen an increased need for network cameras in harsh environments, and the AXIS 225FD has been specifically designed to meet those demands." The AXIS 225FD uses a progressive scan CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. image sensor that enables moving images to be presented without distortion or blur up to 30 frames per second in VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. resolution. It also offers the highest security measures through the use of multi-level password protection, IP address filtering and HTTPS (1) (HyperText Transport Protocol Secure) The protocol for accessing a secure Web server. Using HTTPS in the URL instead of HTTP directs the message to a secure port number rather than the default Web port number of 80. encryption. Available accessories include ceiling-mount brackets for installation on indoor ceilings and smoked glass for increased discretion. The AXIS 225FD is supported by the industry's largest base of application software through the Axis ADP (1) (Automatic Data Processing) Synonymous with data processing (DP), electronic data processing (EDP) and information processing. (2) (Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Roseland, NJ, www.adp. program. The network camera will be available through Axis' distribution channels in Q4 2005, for the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,099. About Axis Axis increases the value of network solutions.
