Axis introduces a PTZ Network Camera without moving parts

Axis Communications launches the revolutionary AXIS 212 Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Network Camera, for indoor security surveillance. The camera incorporates a digital PTZ device that provides instant, one-click pan/tilt/zoom functionality and automatic patrolling without wear and tear on moving parts. The AXIS 212 PTZ´s compact and discreet design makes it ideal for monitoring areas up to 150 square metres, such as shops and reception areas.

The AXIS 212 PTZ incorporates a high quality, three mega pixel sensor and a wide-angle lens that allow users to instantly zoom in on objects within 150 square metres. It provides simultaneous Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 compression in order to optimize image quality and bandwidth utilization. The AXIS 212 PTZ also features two-way audio, including a built-in microphone, and Power over Ethernet to run data and power over a single cable and reduce cabling installation costs.
"Axis is setting a new standard with the AXIS 212 PTZ, which is our first digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera without moving parts," said Johan Lembre, Vice President, Product Management of Axis Communications. "With this new product, we are meeting the market's requirements for a reliable and extremely cost-efficient indoor network camera. "
The AXIS 212 PTZ features pre- and post-alarm image buffering, video motion detection, and scheduled and triggered event functionality with alarm notification. The network camera comes with a comprehensive set of security features such as multi-level password protection, IP address filtering and HTTPS encryption.
The AXIS 212 PTZ will be available in July through Axis' distribution channels.
