Axis launches 360° panoramic camera

Axis Communications has launched the compact and competitively priced AXIS M3027-PVE, a 5-mega pixel fixed dome that offers a 360° or 180° overview of wide areas. The IK10 vandal resistant, day/night network camera is designed for indoor as well as outdoor use.

“With the introduction of AXIS M3027-PVE, we further strengthen our lineup of discreet and affordably priced fixed domes by adding a 360° / 180° panoramic outdoor-ready video surveillance solution. It offers price-sensitive market segments the option of using just one camera to get the big picture. The camera also has substantial capacity for intelligent video applications and supports a wide range of video management software including the complimentary AXIS Camera Companion,” says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications.

AXIS M3027-PVE, which is the latest addition to the lineup of outdoor-ready AXIS M30-VE cameras, can be mounted on ceilings, soffits or under porches for a 360° overview and on walls for a 180° view. The camera provides de-warped views such as panorama, double panorama and quad views, as well as view area modes where users can digitally pan, tilt and zoom in on areas of interest. Multiple streams in H.264 and Motion JPEG can be sent simultaneously. AXIS M3027-PVE offers I/O ports for connection to external devices.

All the cameras in the AXIS M30 Series come focussed at delivery, which means short installation time. They support Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), which eliminates the need for power cables and reduces installation costs.

AXIS M3027-PVE is now available for order through Axis’ distribution channels at a suggested retail price of $799.
