Stainless Steel Anti-Grip Corner Network Camera Launched by AXIS

Product in a nutshell: The AXIS Q8414-LVS Network Camera is the Swedish giant’s first corner-mount fixed network camera. Featuring vandal-resistant stainless steel anti-grip casing and built-in invisible IR LED the camerais ideal for indoor video surveillance – even in complete darkness.

Sectors/verticals: Ideal for small rooms in correctional facilities, interview rooms, psychiatric wards and medical observation rooms, as well as elevators and stairwells. Perfect for high security environments thanks to a built-in microphone and potential for integration into an alarm system via an I/O port. Privacy masks also mean restricted areas cannot be monitored for privacy reasons or to protect the personnel.

Softer, less provocative design than other products aimed at correctional facilities and psychiatric wards. Designed to minimise cavities and holes through which prisoners and patients can stuff anything inside. Also easy to clean.

Features:

• Stainless steel anti-grip casing is extremely impact resistant, according to the manufacturer
• Supports IK10+ 50joules rating as well as IP66/NEMA 4X rating for water resistance
• Lightfinder technology creates “life-like” colours in low-light conditions and built-in invisible IR LED illuminator for surveillance in total darkness
• One Megapixel or HDTV 720p video stream
• P-Iris control for an optimal depth of field, resolution, image contrast and clarity
• Horizontal angle of view up to 105° covers entire room without blind spots
• Remote zoom and focus facilitate optimisation of captured view during installation

Compatibility: Supported by AXIS video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner Program and AXIS Camera Station. Includes support for AXIS Camera Companion, AXIS Camera Application Platform, AXIS Video Hosting System and ONVIF for easy camera system integration and for application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities.

Aesthetics: Available in two colours – powder coated white (AXIS Q8414-LVS White) and brushed stainless steel (AXIS Q8414-LVS Metal).

Manufacturer says: “In correctional facilities as well as in psychiatric wards, there is an increasing need to prevent self-harm and avoid internal conflicts among the residents,” says Axis’ director of product management Erik Frännlid.

“We have developed AXIS Q8414-LVS keeping in mind that a surveillance camera should lack ligature points and present an anti-grip design. On top of these features, it should also offer superb video quality during day and night and be extremely vandal resistant.”

Launch date: December 2014 at an MSRP of $1299 through Axis distribution channels.
