Axis launches network camera for city surveillance

Axis Communications introduces AXIS Q3709-PVE – a network camera that provides situational awareness of a large area making it suitable for city surveillance applications, as well as installations in logistic centers, airports and train stations.

“An effective one-camera installation providing overview and image detail at the same time is an efficient way to ensure that surveillance needs are met in large open areas,” Erik Frannlid, Axis’ Director of Product Management explains.”

“Multi-sensor cameras are also well-suited in applications such as squares, stadiums, parking lots and perimeter surveillance, where large areas need to be monitored in high image detail in order to ensure complete situational awareness,” added Erik.

The network camera comes with a repaintable and removable weather shield that protects against rain, snow and sunlight and allows for easy blending in with the environment. No focusing is required since the lenses are factory-focused.

It also provides 180° overview in up to 33 megapixel resolution. It offers a video streaming performance of 3 × 4K at 30 fps or 3 × 11 megapixels at 20 fps.

The network camera is outdoor-ready with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings and is also vandal-resistant with IK10 rating. It offers video motion detection with tampering alarm and it can operate in a wide temperature range with standard Power over Ethernet (PoE+).

The camera is supported by a video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner Program, and AXIS Camera Station.

The camera also includes support for edge storage, AXIS Camera Application Platform, AXIS Video Hosting System and ONVIF for easy camera system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities.

AXIS Q3709-PVE is planned to be available in Q2 2015 through Axis distribution channels at the suggested retail price of $ 2399.
