Axis IP cameras were installed strategically for full use of pan, tilt and zoom functions in all directions. These functions allow the complete monitoring of an environment within a range of 45m for identification, 230 m for recognition and 1,100 m for detection.

These images are transmitted to the Operations Control Center using Digifort software, for viewing locations in real time, allowing efficient analysis of a situation and quick response to any emergencies.
Crime control by the IP video surveillance solution for the city of Alfenas implemented ten AXIS Q6032-E and six AXIS Q6034-E Network Cameras, controlled by the AXIS T8311 Joy stick. Images are managed inside the Control Center room by image management software from Digifort, an AXIS partner. Inside this room, there are another 12 TB of data storage for storing images installed by Iomega, another AXIS partner.
