Axis introduces Thermal Network Cameras

Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, has announced an improved range of Thermal Network Cameras, Axis Q1922 and Axis Q1922-E. The VGA resolution and the large variety of lens alternatives ensure better image quality and extended detection range. In addition, the VGA resolution provides more pixels on the detected object which significantly increases reliability and facilitates integration of intelligent video applications, improving surveillance efficiency.  The new cameras are ideal for cost efficient 24/7 area or perimeter surveillance of security applications such as airports, power-plants and harbors.

Thermal IP cameras create images based on the heat that radiates from any object, vehicle or person. This gives thermal network cameras the power to see through complete darkness and deliver images that allow operators to detect and act on suspicious activity. Thermal network cameras can also handle many difficult weather conditions better than conventional cameras, allowing operators to see through haze, dust and smoke. 

Axis Q1922 is designed for indoor surveillance, while Axis Q1922-E is an IP66-rated, outdoor-ready camera. The four available lens alternatives, the 640x480 VGA resolution and the advanced image processor further improve effective area and perimeter surveillance. The four lens alternatives sustain maximum flexibility in range and field of view, ranging from 300 m (328 yd.) up to 1800 m (1970 yd.), depending on lens option. In addition, the cameras support key IP-Surveillance features such as H.264 and Motion JPEG, two-way audio, local storage and Power over Ethernet. Intelligent video is a key component of any thermal camera, and Axis Q1922/-E provide tampering alarm, motion detection, and support for Axis Camera Application Platform.
