Axis Communications is launching two corner-mountable network cameras, one designed for use in lifts, the other suited to the healthcare sector.
The 3 MP cameras are designed to provide out-of-the-box corner-to-corner coverage.
Sectors/verticals
The AXIS P9106-V network camera brushed steel model is designed to blend in with the aesthetic of lifts/elevators. The ligature-resistant or anti-ligature AXIS P9106-V network camera white model cannot be used for self-harm by vulnerable people in mental health care or police custody, making it useful for use in medical facilities or police stations.

Axis Communications says
“For niche applications such as surveillance in elevators, interview rooms and psychiatric wards, our clients face very specific challenges and seek to achieve specific benefits that are not commonly addressed by standard products available in the market,” said Michael Chen, global product manager at Axis Communications.
“But thanks to our strong partnership network globally, we are able to work alongside system integrators and end users to ensure our new cameras’ designs serve their needs and exceed their expectations in aesthetics, usability and durability.
“In our dedication to innovating and creating cameras for long-term use, we are proud to present these two new specialty cameras that will help our clients utilise our technology in even more industries.”
“Specifically in the elevator application, customers expressed the cumbersome procedures involved if any camera maintenance would require access inside the elevator shaft. To address this, we have designed the camera to be fully accessible from inside the elevator, reducing maintenance time and costs, while keeping the camera compact and discreet, to blend into elegant spaces.”
Availability
Available in Q4 for suggested retail prices US$649 for AXIS P9106-V brushed steel model and US$599 for AXIS P9106-V white model.
