"Choctaw Nation is experiencing a high level of growth that demands the kind of sophisticated surveillance technology Axis network cameras provide," said Dan Breshears, executive director of Tribal Police Security and Surveillance for Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. "A network-based system enabled our team to take advantage of 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. , eliminating the need for power outlets at camera locations further increasing the constant and ongoing use of the system." Axis network cameras were chosen because of their ability to perform effectively even in the most challenging physical environments. Crowds, noise and variations in lighting typically found in casino settings often compromise the ability to secure video that is clear enough to identify thieves and be used as evidence in a court of law. The Choctaw Nation selected the AXIS 216FD, among others, for its advanced image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished that enables it to deliver crisp images in low lighting conditions. The camera has a built-in, 2-way audio capability including an audio detection alarm that allows for real-time communication with visitors or intruders.
