Axis expands its product portfolio with thermal network cameras 

Axis Communications is the first company on the market to offer customers
full-featured thermal network cameras for surveillance. The new network cameras
use thermal imaging, which allows users to detect people and incidents with
great reliability even in complete darkness and other difficult conditions. 

Up until now, there have been no such cameras available on the market, and
existing analog thermal cameras have typically been designed for high-end
installations and are associated with a high price and a large degree of
customization. 

”Today's launch provides our customers with cost-efficient, easy-to-install
thermal network cameras for professional installations and will promote safety
and security in critical areas such as public places, industries, railways,
ports and roads. We see a great potential for these new cameras and we are proud
to be able to broaden our portfolio and thereby contribute to strengthening our
customers' security systems”, says Ray Mauritsson, President, Axis
Communications.

With Axis' strong distribution network, consisting of more than 27,000 partners
worldwide, thermal cameras will now be accessible to whole new groups of users.
Axis thermal network cameras mesh perfectly with any network video system and
can be used in many surveillance systems in a broad range of customers segments
such as government, transportation, city surveillance and education. 

“The thermal network cameras' features, combined with the usual benefits of
Axis' network cameras such as intelligent video capabilities, ease of
installation, and integration with all leading video management systems, will
help keep our customers' security installations one step ahead”, says Ray
Mauritsson. 

The thermal network cameras create images based on the heat that always radiates
from any object, vehicle or person. This gives thermal cameras the power to see
through complete darkness and deliver images that allow operators to detect and
act on suspicious activity. Thermal cameras can also handle many difficult
weather conditions better than conventional cameras, e.g. allowing operators to
see through haze, dust, and smoke.
