The judging took place at the 2006 ISC West new product showcase awards program held in Las Vegas, 5th - 7th April 2006. A panel of security industry professionals viewed presentations on more than 60 competitive products and selected the AXIS 214 PTZ based on its superior image quality and affordable price.
The new product showcase is internationally recognised as one of the security industry's most prestigious award programs. It is held each year at the ISC West event, where designers and manufacturers submit their newest electronic security products, peripherals and services for consideration in the showcase.
Steve Gorski, managing director, for Axis Communications UK Ltd summed up this award by saying:
