Axis Communications, a leader in the network video market, has introduced three new video encoder products that support the latest and highly efficient video compression format, H.264.

The products enable analog cameras to be integrated into a more efficient and powerful IP-based video surveillance system.

“The new and upcoming Axis products are based on a high-performance video encoder platform that has unparalleled image processing capabilities,” stated Gilles Ortega, regional manager Axis Communications, Mena.

“It enables the products to deliver superb image quality with higher resolutions, frame rates and multiple streaming capabilities, and with much lower bandwidth and storage requirements using the H.264 compression standard.'

'In addition, there is increased capacity for running intelligent video applications that help users effectively manage large-scale video surveillance systems,” he added.

The three products consist of the standalone Axis Q7401 Video Encoder for integrating one analog camera; Axis Q7406 Video Encoder Blade, which supports six analog channels; and Axis Q7900 Rack, which is one of the industry’s highest-density rack solutions with support for up to 84 analog cameras.

The video encoders, which support all types of analog video cameras, convert analog signals into digital streams that are then sent over IP networks for viewing and recording on networked computers.

The Axis video encoders offer the market’s most comprehensive set of network capabilities, optimising the network video solution for security, efficiency and manageability.

The products are also supported by the Axis Camera Station video management software, as well as the industry’s largest base of application software through Axis’ Application Development Partner program.-TradeArabia News Service
