2215 Axis Communications has added an outdoor-ready camera to its Axis P39-R network family of compact, rugged and discreet cameras. They are all specially designed for onboard video surveillance in or on buses, trams, subway cars and other rugged environment vehicles. The IP6K9K-compliant Axis P3905-RE network camera is designed to be mounted on the exterior of a vehicle for rear view surveillance alongside the vehicle outer surface, down-mounted over a door or as a forward-facing camera. It is able to withstand tough conditions such as vibrations, shocks, bumps and temperature fluctuations as well as normal vehicle maintenance.

The camera comes with a 6mm lens that provides a 55-degree horizontal field of view optimised for the typical use of surveillance alongside a vehicle.  If a wider field of view is required, the housing also allows customer to change to a 3.6mm lens offering an 87-degree horizontal field of view.

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

Networked video brings a whole host of advantages, such as the
