Not too long ago, video monitoring was only done in an analog way, but that was about to change! In 1996, Axis launched the world's first IP camera with various features that revolutionized the CCTV market.
Today, after 25 years, the manufacturer continues to reap the benefits of its great venture - the AXIS IP camera - and celebrates its solidification as the No. 1 in IP video surveillance solutions.
But enough talk, let's get to know the Axis Neteye 200 and all its evolution to this day.
Putting Imagination into Practice
IP equipment has raised the bar for video security by providing higher image quality, remote accessibility, ease of integration, scalability, event management, analytics, and many other benefits.
It all started in a very peculiar way, as the founders – Mikael Karlsson, Martin Gren, and Keith Bloodworth – had the idea of using network technology to connect devices and make them smart, which was a big novelty at the time.
From the beginning, the intention was to work with open standards and avoid proprietary protocols so that scalability could be greater and to save on both equipment and energy consumption.
And that's how, by combining their ideas and skills, a camera was connected to the network, allowing anyone with internet access to watch live from anywhere in the world and see what was happening at the monitored location.
Extra: In the past, using network technology to connect devices was called ThinServer Technology, which we now know as the Internet of Things – IoT.
Expanding Your Portfolio
After the undeniable great success, Axis could not remain idle; expanding its portfolio and continuing to innovate was necessary.
As market demand evolved, the manufacturer's equipment evolved alongside it. You can find devices for all needs, from more robust cameras for outdoor environments to discreet products for more sensitive scenarios.
If monitoring was once monotonous, today it can be an excellent business tool for your company when combined with analytics applications developed by the manufacturer itself – or partners.
What models are available?
Their portfolio is vast and includes various models, from fixed box cameras to explosion-proof cameras. But today we will delve into some models, such as:
The Axis PTZ cameras that feature pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities to provide coverage of a wide area and excellent image quality in a single camera. Its ability to apply zoom - whether manual or automatic - allows for the validation of detected events, maximizing protection and minimizing costs.
The Axis Bullet cameras that, with their small and discreet design, become ideal for any environment, whether internal or external. They also have integrated IR lighting with high-resolution video quality.
The Axis Dome cameras that can be discreetly installed in any environment. Their casing offers protection against redirection, blurring, and impacts – and also disguises which direction the lens is pointing.
And the Axis Panoramic cameras that allow coverage of large areas with just one camera, which can be used to monitor activities and detect incidents in large environments, track the flow of people, and enhance area management.
And we cannot forget that it performs the function of up to 4 cameras, meaning installation and system costs are kept lower.
In addition to cameras, AXIS also has equipment for access control and sound systems with IP technology in its portfolio.
