Axis Communications, a market leader in network video, has introduced the Axis Q6155-E PTZ Dome Network Camera with laser focus, offering faster and more accurate autofocus even in the most challenging lighting conditions.

The new laser focus technology combined with the high image quality is valuable in situations when people or objects need to be identified quickly and precisely, said a statement from the company.

Kent Fransson, global product manager, Axis Communications, said: “Autofocus is one of the biggest challenges for conventional pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras today. When the lighting conditions are difficult - such as for example at dusk or dawn - the camera takes longer to autofocus.”

“Our new laser focus technology allows the camera to measure the distance to objects no matter what the lighting conditions are. This measurement is also much more exact and it is taken in an instant. This means the camera is always focusing optimally, providing clear images at all times,” he added.

Axis Q6155-E features Sharpdome, a technology which allows for monitoring of objects as much as 20° above the camera horizon. The camera offers HDTV 1080p resolution and 30x optical zoom. This high-end camera brings sharp images even when weather or lighting conditions are challenging thanks to its laser focus, a new and improved sensor, Axis’ Lightfinder technology and Axis’ Speed Dry function, said a statement.

The device is ideal for city and perimeter surveillance, critical infrastructure, transportation, education, industrial and government installations. Its sleek design, compact size and re-paintable casing allows the camera to blend in with its surroundings. It offers quick and precise PTZ and high scene fidelity at all angles of view, it said.

Axis’ Zipstream technology lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while keeping necessary forensic details, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
