Axis in a corner

May 2015 Surveillance, Products & Solutions

Axis Communications has announced its first corner-mount fixed network camera. The new Axis Q8414-LVS features a stainless steel anti-grip casing and is impact resistant, supporting the IK10+ 50 joules rating as well as the IP66/NEMA 4X rating for water resistance. The 24/7 indoor surveillance camera provides excellent image quality both day and night, with capabilities like Lightfinder technology, which enables life-like colours in low-light conditions, and built-in invisible IR LED illuminator for video surveillance in complete darkness.

“High security environments like correctional facilities and psychiatric wards present unique security challenges and a growing need to prevent self-harm and conflict,” said Roy Alves, director of business development, Axis Communications, EMEA. “Specifically designed to meet these needs, Axis Q8414-LVS lacks ligature points, features an anti-grip design and is vandal resistant. The camera delivers superior HDTV video in any lighting, day or night, for increased image usability.”

The new anti-ligature Axis Q8414-LVS is ideal for video surveillance of small rooms in premises like correctional facilities, interview rooms, psychiatric wards and medical observation rooms, including elevators and stairwells. Thanks to a built-in microphone and the possibility to integrate the network camera into an alarm system via its I/O port, Axis Q8414-LVS becomes part of the overall surveillance solution, an important tool to protect and secure the safety of people in high security environments. In addition, privacy masks ensure restricted areas are not monitored for privacy reasons or to protect personnel.

Available in two colour versions, powder coated white (Axis Q8414-LVS White) and brushed stainless steel (Axis Q8414-LVS Metal), the corner-mount network camera offers 1.3 megapixel or HDTV 720p video stream. It features P-Iris control for an optimal depth of field, resolution, image contrast and clarity. The horizontal angle of view up to 105° covers the entire room without blind spots. Capabilities such as remote zoom and focus facilitate the optimisation of the captured view during the installation.

Axis Q8414-LVS features a unique design that has been developed to be perceived as softer and less provocative than that of other security installations in correctional facilities and psychiatric wards. Working closely with prison and health authorities in several countries as well as system integrators and installers, Axis designed Axis Q8414-LVS to feature as few cavities and holes as possible to make the camera easy to clean, as well as prevent prisoners and patients from lodging items inside them.
