Axis Communications has released the Axis M2014-E, a network camera which is no bigger than a lipstick. The camera´s functional and compact form factor makes it particularly suitable for installations such as in retail stores, boutiques, hotels or small offices that need easy-to-use and future-proof video surveillance.

“The Axis M2014-E Network Camera, being the smallest HDTV bullet-style network camera on the market, is perfect for video surveillance solutions in small- to mid-sized systems,” says Roy Alves, country manager, Axis Communications. “This new camera, with its unique design concept comprising a main unit and a separate camera unit, allows for maximum flexibility and ease of installation, in areas where installation has previously not been possible.”

Axis M2014-E provides HDTV 720p image quality at full frame rate. The camera delivers multiple, individually configurable video streams in H.264 compression, greatly optimising bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG is also supported for increased flexibility.
