Users of AXIS cameras can now easily share sites for viewing feeds from their cameras and can perform digital zooming online thanks to a new release of the companion software.
AXIS announced Wednesday that the AXIS Camera Companion upgrade includes easy site sharing by providing basic information about sites and cameras and using a free cloud-based service. The new release also provides digital zoom functionality.
Peter Friberg, Axis' Director of System and Services said AXIS has registered over 60,000 downloads of the free software client, the AXIS Camera Companion.
"By combining the advantages of a de-centralized system with the power the cloud brings, we can provide the market with a very flexible, easy-to-use and affordable recording solution," Friberg said.
The new version supports digital zoom in live and recorded video. It also allows customers to take advantage of the increasing range of HDTV cameras and it also provides support for the panoramic views from Axis's 360-degree fixed dome cameras, providing great overview and details with only one camera.
AXIS Camera Companion allows small business owners to easily navigate to different sites and by the use of HDTV network cameras clearly identify intruders, shoplifters and other incidents. Video can be viewed live and recordings played back from anywhere - onsite or remotely over the Internet.
Unlike analog surveillance installations, AXIS Camera Companion does not require a central recording device - a digital video recorder (DVR), network video recorder (NVR), or even a computer. All images are recorded onto a standard SD memory card in each camera, and the cameras keep recording even if the network fails. The cameras are powered over the network, eliminating the need for separate power cables. This reduces cost, simplifies installation, and makes the system more robust as there is no single point of failure. To further protect customers' investments, existing analog cameras can be integrated via video encoders.
Further features of AXIS Camera Companion include:
- Third-party apps for viewing live and recorded video and for integration of Public View Monitors for loss prevention on leading smartphones and tablets, such as iPhone, iPad and Android.
- Support for 64 GB SDXC cards in all network video products with SD card capabilities
- Administrator, operator and viewer user access levels
- Support for motion detection and pan/tilt/zoom control and one-way audio
- Easy and secure export of video and snapshots from single or multiple cameras
The new AXIS Camera Companion 2.0 software client is available for free download from http://www.axis.com/products/cam_companion_software/index.htm.
The cameras are available through Axis' security installation and system integration partners.
