Miniature HDTV cameras for discreet surveillance

October 2012 Products & Solutions

Axis Communications has introduced the Axis P12 network cameras, a series of cameras for exceptionally discreet indoor and outdoor surveillance. The cameras’ form factor and small size enable easy integration into very limited spaces, making them ideal for discreet or covert surveillance in stores, banks and ATMs, architectural buildings, hotels and offices.

“These new cameras offer excessive flexibility with its unique design concept, comprising a main unit and a separate sensor unit, enabling them to be mounted up to 8 metres apart,” says Roy Alves, country manager, Axis Communications.

The P12 series comprises three models; two pinhole models, AXIS P1204 and AXIS P1214, which are ideal for indoor environments, and AXIS P1214-E which is an IP66-rated model suited for both indoor and outdoor applications. Each one of the products consists of a small sensor unit with a lens and image sensor, a main unit with electronics and corresponding mounting accessories.

AXIS P12 Series offers high-performance covert cameras providing HDTV 720p video at full frame rate. The cameras provide multiple, individually configurable video streams in H.264 compression. Additionally, the cameras can be powered either over Ethernet, or by external power supply. Edge storage is supported and recordings can be saved to an optional microSD/microSDHC card or a Network Attached Storage (NAS).
