Axis network cameras increase safety in Portuguese schools

Axis Communications today announced that its network video cameras will play a
key role in a comprehensive safe school project in Portugal. More than 12,000
network cameras will be installed in order to increase security in public
schools in a cost-effective way. The installation started in August 2009 and is
expected to continue during 2010.

The selected network camera models are the AXIS 225FD for the indoor
installations and the AXIS 221 for outdoor installations. Axis network cameras
are going to be installed in 1,200 schools, in 2nd and 3rd class of primary
education and in secondary schools. The cameras will be installed in corridors
and school entrances.

“We are proud to deliver our network cameras to the schools in Portugal. We have
seen an increasing interest in installations of network video products at
schools and universities due to a heightened interest in student security.” said
Ray Mauritsson, President, Axis Communications. “As the schools often have the
infrastructure in place, a cost-efficient installation of network cameras with
superior image quality can easily be deployed.”

Axis' network cameras have been selected for this project because of their
exceptional image quality, ease of installation and maintenance as well as their
ability to connect directly to existing IP networks in schools. Furthermore, the
functionality PoE (Power over Ethernet) will also reduce installation costs as
the cameras will be fed with power through the Ethernet cable, unifying power
and data on one cable.
