Greater flexibility: Patrick Anderson highlights the benefits of the Axis product line
2215 Axis’s range of digital cameras for the security and ITS markets add intelligence at the front to enable many different applications, says the company’s Segment Marketing Manager Stefan Alfresson.

“Our open applications platform allows software developers to produce apps themselves which integrators and customers can then download and implement for themselves. Most companies use video servers to carry out their analytics but our cameras, by courtesy of their intrinsic intelligence, can do much of the processing themselves.”

A series of applications and capabilities are being demonstrated by partner companies on the Axis stand; and Automatic Number Plate Recognition app from ipConfigure, for example, can store up to 250,000 plates’ details and provide alerts on blacklisted vehicles.

Another intrinsic feature is Axis’s Lightfinder technology, a Wall Street Journal Technology Award winner, which allows colour to be found even in very low-light conditions. This is very useful for security and Automatic Incident Detection applications.
