Starting in the EMEA countries from September 1 and in North America from October 1, Axis Communications assumed responsibility for the marketing and sales of Canon’s entire network video product portfolio in these regions. Under this new framework, Axis now complements its portfolio of industry leading security solutions by introducing seven new Canon network cameras.

The cameras include the VB-S30VE, a compact outdoor mini PTZ dome camera, and the VB-H761LVE, an outdoor fixed box camera with 20 times zoom and IR illumination. The majority of the new models are designed for outdoor surveillance and they all offer HDTV 1080p resolution in full frame rate.

The new models also include the VB-H760VE an outdoor, vandal-resistant fixed camera for tough conditions, with a 20x zoom lens. Suitable for education, industry and critical infrastructure facilities. The VB-H751LE is an outdoor fixed camera offering 2.4x zoom and built-in infrared illumination. Intended for monitoring of commercial buildings, warehouses and critical infrastructure, even in complete darkness.  The VB-H651VE, outdoor, vandal-resistant fixed dome camera is designed for tough conditions and provides pan-tilt-rotate-zoom (PTRZ) functionality and ultra-wide lens. Intended for outdoor monitoring of retail locations, commercial and bank buildings.  The launch also includes the VB-S800VE outdoor, vandal-resistant compact fixed dome camera with built-in microphone and the VB-S910F indoor, compact fixed camera with 3.5x zoom and built-in microphone. Intended for discreet monitoring of indoor areas within for example retail, education and banking.

The new cameras are planned to be available in Q1 2017 through Axis distribution channels in EMEA and North America. In the Japanese market and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, Canon products will be available through existing Canon distribution channels.
