Axis Communications, a provider of network video, has added the Axis F44 Main Unit to its modular Axis F Series. The series is based on a divided network camera concept in which the camera is split into a sensor unit made up of a lens and image sensor with a pre-mounted cable up to 12 meters (39 feet) long, and a main unit, which is the body of the camera.

Since the main units and sensor units with different lens types are sold separately, customers can choose the components as required and change them to fit the surveillance need.

The products allow for discreet installation since the small sensor units can be installed virtually out of view in tight places and the main unit can be placed up to 39 feet away.

"Axis F44 provides a simple and cost-effective solution for monitoring up to four different areas within a site using just one main unit," said Erik Frännlid, Axis director of product management. "The small modular sensor units can also be easily relocated or changed after the initial installation, giving users additional flexibility. It is an ideal solution for small video surveillance areas such as in stores, in and around ATMs and in buses."

Among other features Axis F44 unit offers:

• simultaneous streaming of four separate high-resolution 1080p videos at 12.5/15 frames per second (50/60 Hz) or four HDTV 720p videos at full frame rate;
• quad view, a stream made up of four separate views from the connected sensor units;
• two-way audio;
• input/output ports for external devices to enhance alarm management
• power over Ethernet, as well as the option of connecting to an 8-28 V DC power supply; and
• intelligent video capabilities such as video motion detection, active tampering alarm and downloadable applications through the Axis Camera application platform.
