Axis reveals availability of Camera Families on Autodesk Seek

Axis Camera Families, the 3D camera models for Autodesk Revit users which are also considered as building information modelling (BIM) web services in the market, are now available through Autodesk Seek. At the same time, Axis has also announced to launch the Axis Camera View add-in for Autodesk Revit, giving architects, engineers and security system designers a quick way to create 3D views from the security camera’s point of view from inside their CAD designs.
 
With access to Axis’ portfolio of security cameras at their fingertips, architects, engineers and security system designers are able to interactively visualize camera layouts and fields of view during the design.
 
Axis Camera Families let security system designers place Axis Network Cameras directly into CAD building plans and visualize the areas the cameras will cover. The CAD models allow them to see exactly how the cameras fit into the building layout and to easily detect and reduce unexpected blind spots.
 
Making Axis Camera Families available on Autodesk Seek means architects and engineers can now easily access a tool that helps them improve planning and work more efficiently. This will result in more effective value engineering, device placement, conflict identification and aesthetic coordination, said Peter Friberg, Director of System and Services, Axis Communications.
 
Axis Camera Families for Autodesk Revit including the vast majority of Axis Network Cameras, is available free of charge.
