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.

    Used until now in vehicle exterior lighting primarily for daytime running lights, tail lights, indicators, automotive supplier Continental claims light-emitting diodes (LEDs) now provide sufficient luminosity to function as low-beam or high-beam lights as well in irradiating the vehicle surroundings. LEDs offer numerous advantages over halogen or xenon lights. They are more efficient and offer a higher degree of safety. The light emitted by the LED is more like sunlight than other light sources and is t
