Axis Introduces Q1910 Thermal Network Cameras

Earlier this month, AXIS introduced one of its latest in IP network technology -- the AXIS Q1910/-E Thermal Network Cameras, the first thermal network cameras from AXIS. These products boast a perfect complement to any professional IP-Surveillance system that needs to secure an area 24 hours a day, seven days a week. While conventional day-and-night cameras depend on a certain amount of near-infrared light to function, thermal cameras deliver surveillance images even in total darkness and in difficult weather conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog.



AXIS Q1910 is an indoor variant, and AXIS Q1910-E is an out-of-the-box, outdoor-ready camera. Both cameras are very competitively priced, and provide all necessary thermal capabilities. In addition, the products offer all the typical Axis network video features, including H.264 and Motion JPEG video compression, two-way audio, local SD/SDHC storage, I/O and Power over Ethernet.
Further, since thermal images are excellent source material for video analytics, AXIS Q1910/-E provide strong intelligent video capabilities, including support for AXIS Camera Application Platform for installation of Axis and third-party applications in the camera.

WCPS will be offering these cameras as they become available. You can find the latest Axis products at www.webcamproshop.com.
