Axis introduces the first of
a new generation of smaller,
more cost-effective modular
cameras for exceptionally
discreet surveillance
xis Communications, the
market leader in network
video, today adds a high
performance
HDTV 720p camera to its AXIS P12
Series of complete modular cameras for
highly discreet surveillance. Compared
with its predecessors, AXIS P1244 is
smaller in size for easier, more versatile
mounting. It offers better image quality
in low and varying lighting conditions,
provides improved video compression and
analytics capabilities, and is affordably
priced.

“The combination of better performance
and a smaller size and price makes AXIS
P1244 an attractive product for customers
who are looking for a cost-effective,
highly discreet surveillance solution,”
says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product
Management, Axis Communications.

Modular concept
The modular concept divides a camera
into different parts: a sensor unit
comprising a lens and an image sensor,
a main unit that houses the processor,
network and power connections, and a
cable that connects the sensor unit to the
main unit. The modular concept allows for
the discreet installation of a small sensor
unit where needed while the main unit can
be placed elsewhere where there is space.
Compact design
AXIS P1244 comprises a sensor unit with
a 102° horizontal field of view. It can be
mounted in tight places, or in walls or
ceilings with the included flush mount kit.
Optional accessories enable the sensor unit
to be tilted in a surface or recessed mount.
The sensor unit comes with an 8-m (26
feet) cable for connection to the main unit.
The main unit of AXIS P1244 is three times
smaller than previous AXIS P12 main units.
High-performance
AXIS P1244 supports full frame rate
HDTV 720p videos, Zipstream technology
for lower bandwidth and storage use,
Power over Ethernet (PoE) for easy
installation, and a microSD card slot
for local storage. It has built-in Active
Tampering Alarm and Video Motion
Detection, and has a greater capacity to
support additional video analytics that are
compatible with AXIS Camera Application
Platform.
AXIS P1244 is supported by the industry’s
largest base of video management
software through the Axis Application
Development Partner (ADP) Program as
well as AXIS Camera Station and AXIS
Camera Companion. ONVIF support
allows for easy integration with a wide
range of video surveillance systems.
