Watch how IP network cameras
can protect your business.
Whether for property management, liability assessment, loss prevention or employee security, video surveillance is becoming a prominant aspect of business networks.
IP video camera and management software now enables you to view video streams from anywhere over an Internet connection!
In addition to remote viewing capability, IP video solutions also have recording capability and can archive video footage to ensure compliance with corporate governance policies.

Access live video at anytime, from anywhere
You can access real-time video at any time from any computer anywhere. Network video products provide an easy way to capture and distribute high quality video over any kind of IP network or the Internet.
The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be transported over the LAN or Internet. This means that even companies with several offices can make effective use of a network video solution for security surveillance and remote monitoring purposes.
Easy, future-proof integration
There are almost no limitations as to where you can place network video products. They are not tied to physical inputs or frame grabbers and you can connect the product to a LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or cell phone.
Basically wherever you can receive a phone call on your cell phone, you can receive images from a network video solution.
Network video systems can be used for a multitude of applications simultaneously: for instance, access control, building management, point-of-sales systems, ATMs, as well as fire, intruder and visitor management, and so forth.
Migrating your analog CCTV system into a network video solution With network video solutions you can integrate your existing analog system with products that bring it up to speed with the latest IP technology.
The solution enables you to take advantage of numerous functionalities such as remote pan/tilt/zoom, Power over Ethernet, wireless, megapixel, audio, motion detection and many more, while meeting your requirements for image quality, recording capabilities and reliability.
A system that grows with your needs A network video system can be expanded by adding more network cameras. This is just as easily done regardless of whether the new cameras are to be placed at the same site or at a new location communicating over the Internet.
You can choose exactly what you need today and scale the system at any time to meet your growing needs. New technologies, additional cameras, and extra storage capacity are all easily added as required, thanks to strict adherence to industry standards.
Distributed intelligence
In today’s network video systems, intelligence has been brought into the camera itself. Advanced network cameras can have built-in motion detection and alarm management so the camera decides when to send video, at what frame rate and resolution, and when to alert a specific operator for monitoring and/or response.
More intelligent algorithms - license plate recognition, people counting, face recognition - are also being integrated into network cameras. You obtain data in more manageable forms and with higher levels of accuracy.
Intelligence at the camera level implies a far more effective means of surveillance than is possible with a DVR or other centralized system. IP video products also support a number of advanced technologies such as Power over Ethernet ( PoE), which provides power to the network camera using the same cable as that used for network connection.
Axis network cameras are divided into categories based on functionality and suitability for specific customer needs. With the industry’s most complete portfolio of network cameras, Axis can provide professional video surveillance solutions for any indoor or outdoor situation.
Fixed network cameras A fixed network camera meets a variety of application needs, and its traditional camera design adds a deterring effect. The viewing direction is set once the camera is mounted.
There are several models including those with a varifocal lens and/or exchangeable lenses for increased flexibility. Housings are available for mounting the camera outdoors or in harsh environments.
Fixed dome network cameras A fixed dome network camera is a compact camera solution with a dome casing. Its main benefit lies in its discreet, non-obtrusive design, as well as in the fact that it is difficult to see in which direction the camera is pointing. The camera’s dome casing design offers effective protection against tampering or vandalism.
PTZ network cameras
A PTZ network camera offers network video functionality combined with pan/tilt/zoom capability, allowing the operator to redirect the camera and to follow moving objects. The camera’s movement is easily controlled over the network via a joystick attached to a computer or a keyboard/mouse.
PTZ network cameras are available where both movement and viewing direction are visible, where all moving parts are inside the casing, or with no moving parts.
PTZ dome network cameras A PTZ dome network camera provides full flexibility by offering 360-degree pan, 180-degree tilt, extensive zooming capabilities and advanced mechanical design for continuous camera movement. PTZ domes are ideal for live monitoring, where the user needs to actively follow a person or object.
They can also be operated in guard tour mode, where the camera automatically moves between preset positions.
Axis Network Cameras
Full range of network cameras
Axis’ broad range of high-quality network cameras meet a variety of customer needs. They include day and night, indoors and outdoors, wireless, IP-66 rated, vandalprotected, megapixel and HDTV network cameras.
Wired and wireless connections For optimal installation flexibility, some Axis network cameras offer a wireless connection to the network. This is useful, for example, in a building where the installation of network cables would not be possible, or within a facility such as a retail outlet where there is a need to move the camera to new locations on a regular basis without having to pull network cables to every location.
Megapixel and HDTV network cameras Megapixel network cameras enable at least three times higher resolution of video images than can be provided by analog CCTV. An HDTV network camera provides even better video quality with full frame rate and excellent color representation. Megapixel and HDTV technology enhances the ability to identify people and objects.
Cisco Physical Security Value Proposition Cisco® physical security solutions provide broad network-centric capabilities in video surveillance, IP cameras, electronic access control, and groundbreaking technology that converges voice, data, and physical security in one modular appliance.
Our connected physical security solution enables customers to use the IP network as an open platform to build more collaborative and integrated physical security systems while preserving their existing investments in analog-based technology.
As customers converge their physical security infrastructures and operations and begin using the IP network as the platform, they can gain significant value through rapid access to relevant information and interoperability between other IP-centric systems.
This creates a higher level of situational awareness and allows intelligent decisions to be made more quickly.
Cisco enables customers to build cost-effective, modular physical security solutions that are both best-in-class and interoperable. Cisco physical security products support the company’s vision of a single unified security product suite that enables integration with all security operations within the IP network, and with many non security applications.
Using the network as an open, scalable platform for integrating security provides businesses with several benefits, such as operational flexibility, greater protection capabilities, lower cost of ownership, and reduced risk.
Cisco Physical Security Solution Deployments
Cisco physical security solutions can be deployed in a wide range of scenarios. Featuring the highest level of network and video expertise, the solutions are designed for effective deployment in campus, branch, mobile, and outdoor situations.
These video deployments range from a handful to thousands of cameras, from LAN/WAN to wireless connections, and from indoor to harsh outdoor or mobile environments.
