Axis Q1659 85mm angle

Axis to showcase at Intersec Saudi Arabia

JEDDAH, April 27, 2017

Axis Communications, a global market leader in network video, will be participating at the upcoming Intersec Saudi Arabia 2017, a major security equipment and services exhibition, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The event takes place at the Jeddah Centre for Forums & Events from May 2 to 4.

Axis will display an array of the newest and most innovative products including the new Axis Q1659 interchangeable-lens network camera which combines Canon imaging and Axis network technologies for high-resolution surveillance, as well as the Axis Q86 and Q87Pan-Tilt camera series. Axis will also demonstrate end to end solutions across retail, critical infrastructure access control and oil & gas.

Canon and Axis technologies combine

Featuring the same Canon-developed high-performance image sensor and image-processing engine employed in the Company’s EOS series of interchangeable-lens cameras, the new Axis Q1659 makes possible the capture of approximately 20-megapixel (5472 x 3648 pixels) colour video at 8 frames per second to support high-resolution surveillance applications. Additionally, through Axis’s proprietary video-processing and image-compression technologies, the camera offers even more storage and bandwidth savings for enhanced video surveillance efficiency.

Q86 Series

Axis Q86 Network Camera Series comprises indoor and outdoor-ready high-speed pan-tilt (PT) head network cameras that offer continuous pan rotation in 360-degree endless and tilt from +90-degree to -40-degree, enabling wide area coverage. The series offers four models: two visual cameras, Axis Q8665‑E and Axis Q8665‑LE, and two thermal cameras, Axis Q8631‑E and Axis Q8632‑E.

Q87 Series

Axis Q87-E Network Camera Series provides a visual camera and a thermal camera. The visual and thermal cameras can deliver several independent H.264 streams. Both visual and thermal cameras are connected to an Ethernet switch placed inside the housing. From that switch only one Ethernet cable is necessary to view both cameras.

2017 trends

Axis expects 2017 to be the year when new camera capabilities are combined with real-time analytics to address several security challenges, including facial recognition, forensic analysis and perimeter protection. This is critical as per IHS, by 2020, network camera sales are forecast to account for approximately 95 per cent of total worldwide security camera sales, compared to approx. 80 per cent in 2015.

Johan Paulsson, CTO, Axis Communications laid great emphasis on Cyber Security, said: “We expect the so-called Internet of Things to be much less of a novelty and more of the fabric of our daily lives. However, that means manufacturers of internet-enabled devices should step up and take much more responsibility for the level of default security they ship with.”

“The Internet of Things has evolved from buzzword status to mainstream reality, but not without its challenges. While we still think the idea of millions of IP-enabled devices is an exciting prospect for the future, 2016 gave us a sobering reminder of the pitfalls of not properly securing all those internet-connected fridges, DVRs and unfortunately security cameras. Given that most of those devices are just plugged in and switched on by customers, it is down to manufacturers to take responsibility to ensure they are secure out of the box,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
