Axis Communications continues to make strong progress on the market for
networked video surveillance solutions for schools. With a large number
of new installations in place, and a fast growth rate, Axis has secured
a very strong position within the application area. The video solutions
from Axis enables school officials, security officers, and local police
to keep a closer watch on areas where vandalism and violence is most
likely to occur.
With increased security risks in schools, there is a heightened level of
awareness from school and law enforcement officials when it comes to
improved surveillance. Axis network video equipment connects directly to
existing network infrastructure, which make them cost-effective for
school districts to install, maintain and manage state-of-the-art
security systems.
Solutions based on Axis products are currently used for advanced campus
safety and security in more than 100 schools throughout Arizona,
California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Wisconsin. In addition, more than
130 schools around the country have either submitted purchase orders for
the equipment or are considering buying a system. Besides the fast
growth in the US within the application area, Axis has also a large
number of installations in schools around Europe - among others the
award-winning solution for Newport City in Wales.
Axis network cameras and video servers contain built-in Web servers,
compression chips and operating systems. This enables the transmission
of real-time images over the Internet, and allows authorities with the
proper passwords to access images from the school with a standard Web
browser, 24 hours a day. Monitoring can be done for day-to-day security
or to improve the response time of police and rescue workers if there is
an incident. In addition, high-quality digital images can be
transferred to law enforcement agencies or the media within seconds.
