Axis Communications, the market leader in network video1, today presents cost-effective network cameras in a discreet fixed dome design for monitoring outdoor entrance areas of stores, restaurants, hotels, banks and offices.
Designed for placement near building entrances, the palm-sized AXIS M31-VE Network Camera Series enables discreet surveillance for customers at an affordable price. “The AXIS M31-VE Series is ideal for cost-conscious business owners and managers who would like to have high-quality discreet surveillance of entrance areas,” says Erik Fr?nnlid, Director of Product Management at Axis.
The outdoor cameras can operate in temperatures from 50°C (122°F) down to -20°C (-4°F) and the impact-resistant casing comes with a weather shield for protection from sunlight, rain and snow. Models without the weather shield, which have a greater tilt range, are better suited for ceiling mounted installations such as in cold storage rooms or under porches.
AXIS M31-VE cameras are easy to install and are powered using Power over Ethernet, which means that only one standard network cable is needed for carrying power and video. The cameras can also detect tampering attempts such as blocking or spray-painting.
Having video surveillance at an outdoor entrance can help retailers, for example, to strengthen security and prevent losses. Another application is to use the cameras with intelligent applications such as people counting to monitor customers as they enter and leave the store.
Providing excellent quality progressive scan video at full frame rate, the camera series consists of AXIS M3114-VE models with up to 1 megapixel resolution, and AXIS M3113-VE cameras with SVGA 800x600 pixel resolution. AXIS M3114-VE additionally supports HDTV video conforming with HDTV 720p standards in color fidelity, resolution, frame rate and wide-screen aspect ratio.
AXIS M31-VE cameras are supported by AXIS Camera Station video management software and the industry’s largest base of application software through Axis’ Application Development Partner program. The AXIS M31-VE Series will be available to order in Q2, 2011 with a suggested retail price of US$ 499 for the AXIS M3113-VE and US$ 599 for the AXIS M3114-VE.
