Analytics and Autotracking
AXIS Object Analytics detects and classifies humans and vehicles in line crossing, object in area and time in area scenarios. AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, autotracking 2, active gatekeeper and AXIS OSDI Zones are included, and AXIS Camera Application Platform supports third-party apps.
Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault combines TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2) with a secure element (CC EAL 6+), Axis device ID, signed video and secure boot. Signed OS, IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, IEEE 802.1AR, HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3 and a host-based firewall protect the network side.
Built for Harsh Outdoor Sites
The IP66-, IP67-, NEMA 4X- and IK10-rated aluminum casing with a sunshield reaches 74 °C (165 °F) under NEMA TS 2 (2.2.7) and starts up as low as -40 °C (-40 °F) with Arctic Temperature Control. Camera consumption is typical 16 W, max 51 W. This NM version ships without the midspan, so plan a High PoE source: with 60 W the camera runs from -50 °C to 50 °C (-58 °F to 122 °F), with 30 W from -20 °C to 50 °C (-4 °F to 122 °F).
