There are numerous technologies introduced in the CCTV market to provide the widest range of solutions to meet customer needs.
In the case of Axis, which has been in the CCTV market for over 20 years and is known for creating the first cameras compatible with IP technology, new technologies like Sharpdome and Speed Dry were developed to improve the daily experience for those who purchase their products and minimize the need for manual lens and camera repositioning or visibility issues in outdoor environments.
What is Sharpdome?
The Sharpdome technology introduces traditional dome cameras with the ability to rotate their dome intelligently. Using PTZ technology found in various dome cameras, it is possible to position the field of vision through Pan-Tilt (horizontal and vertical positioning). However, traditional dome cameras with PTZ do not offer perfect rotation, as their movement is internal and often prevents identification of the field of vision above the installation horizon.
To address this demand, Sharpdome movement allows for the identification of objects up to 20° above the horizon, significantly expanding the camera’s field of view.
Speed Dry for a Clean Camera in Rainy Conditions
The Speed Dry feature stands out as a key characteristic in Axis Sharpdome cameras. This technology includes a mechanism that, when activated, causes the camera to vibrate at high speed, breaking up water droplets and ensuring a clear field of vision even during rainy or stormy conditions.
