Day/Night PTZ cameras unveiled at ISC West offer 360° endless pan, tour recording and operate in 60 frames per second in HDTV 720p
The Ciena-based solution includes the ActivSpan 565 Advanced Services Platform, a compact and cost-optimized metro WDM platform that enables a variety of video, data and storage services to be efficiently aggregated onto an optical wavelength-based network or service. Along with the members of Ciena’s ActivSpan 5000 Series, ActivSpan 565 supports video circuit packs that offer flexible and highly reliable video interfaces in addition to a complete set of diagnostic and monitoring tools specifically adapted to the broadcast industry.AXIS Q6035/-E cameras support day and night functionality for clearer video in low light conditions and wide dynamic range for better visibility of objects in dark and light areas of a scene. With 360° endless pan, they are robustly built for constant PTZ movements and support a tour recording functionality that makes it easy to set up automatic guard tour operations.With Active Gatekeeper, the cameras can automatically move to a preset position to capture, for instance, a vehicle license plate or a person’s face when motion is detected in a pre-defined area, and then track the detected object. The cameras’ support for AXIS Camera Application Platform also enables the installation of video analytic applications from Axis’ partners.Forward-looking statements.

The camera is powered using High Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at), which simplifies installation since only one standard network cable is needed for carrying power, video and PTZ controls.The camera’s other features include day and night functionality for clearer video in low light conditions, and wide dynamic range for better visibility of objects in dark and light areas of a scene. AXIS P5544 supports two-way audio as well as audio detection, which can be used to trigger an alarm when unusual sounds are detected. The camera can connect to external devices such as sensors and relays to, for example, turn on lights or lock doors.Lightower Fiber Networks is a leading fiber network and broadband service provider in the Northeast, offering over 5,800 fiber route miles coupled with comprehensive transport, alternative access, and nationwide long haul services.

Support for High PoE also means that the cameras can be connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply and continue to function even during a power failure.The use of two different lenses for different field of views means that image quality is maintained even when zooming in. Due to its HDTV resolution, AXIS P5544’s 18x zoom with autofocus provides not only a level of detail that is comparable to a 36x-zoom, 4CIF-resolution camera but also the extra advantage of a wider, 16:9 field of view with zoomed-in views.AXIS P5544 supports AXIS Camera Application Platform, which enables the installation of video analytic applications from Axis’ partners, and is ONVIF conformant. It also has a built-in SD/SDHC memory card slot that enables recordings to be stored locally.Complying with relevant parts of the SMPTE 274M standard, the cameras’ HDTV 1080p entails a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, progressive scan, color fidelity, full frame rate and a 16:9 format. The cameras can deliver multiple, individually configurable H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams simultaneously. H.264 greatly optimizes bandwidth and storage use without compromising image quality.
