CHELMSFORD, Mass.-- Axis Communications, the market leader in network video, introduces three new mini dome network cameras to the AXIS M30 Series. The new models offer HDTV image quality to capture all details, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology to adapt to variable lighting conditions and Axis’ Zipstream technology to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements by 50% without sacrificing important image details. The factory-focused cameras can be mounted on walls or ceilings and easily be leveled and directed in any direction using a 3-axis camera angle adjustment.
“By offering WDR and Zipstream the new AXIS M30 Series can provide small and medium sized businesses with stellar image quality and significant cost savings,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications, Inc. “The M30 Series also offers a 4 megapixel option as well as a new three year warranty.”
AXIS M3044-V provides HDTV 720p video at up to 30 fps. AXIS M3045-V provides HDTV 1080p video at 30 fps and offers HDMI support that enables live streaming to an HDTV monitor for public viewing. AXIS M3046-V provides 4 megapixel video at up to 30 fps and supports the common format of QHD, which allows it to be used as an alternative to a camera with varifocal lens. The AXIS M3046-V camera’s high resolution and digital PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) capability enable sharp, cropped-out views in HDTV 1080p video with a horizontal field of view from 95° to 125°.
The new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series provide multiple, individually configurable H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams in addition to WDR and Axis’ Zipstream technology. The cameras offer video motion detection and active tampering alarm and support third party video analytics applications such as people counting. Axis’ Corridor Format makes full use of the sensor when monitoring narrow areas such as staircases, hallways or aisles by providing vertically oriented video streams. The cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE) requiring only one network cable for data and power and also offer an integrated MicroSD/microSDHC memory card slot for edge storage applications, which supports up to 64GB.
AXIS M3044-V, AXIS M3045-V and AXIS M3046-V come with a new three year warranty. This will be the new standard warranty for all future AXIS M-line Series products and is a significant increase from the previous one year warranty. Defective products under the warranty period will either be repaired or replaced at no cost to the customer.
AXIS M30 cameras are supported by the industry’s largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner (ADP) Program, and AXIS Camera Companion. The cameras also include support for AXIS Camera Application Platform and ONVIF for easy system integration. Cyber protection has also been built in to these cameras to include support of IEEE 802.1x for authentication and HTTPS (also known as SSL/ TLS) to encrypt data.
The new cameras in the AXIS M30 Series are planned to be available in Q2 2016 through Axis’ standard distribution channels at a suggested retail price starting at $199.
