AXIS Communications are set to become ‘leaders in mini innovation’ as they prepare for their April 2011 launch of the world’s tiniest pan / tilt / zoom dome IP camera – the AXIS M5014. As creators of the M5014, AXIS hopes the camera will prove to be a noteworthy development in the need for discreet and high quality security solutions.

The M5014 maintains little differences from the already existing network cameras in the PTZ product lineup – asides from the very obvious differences in size. The camera measures smaller than the palm of most hands at only 13cm wide and 5.6cm high.

Regardless of its tiny appearance, the M5014 facilitates many of the same great features as the conventionally sized PTZ models, including HDTV 720p quality and the ability to reduce bandwidth demands by following the H.264 compression module.

The camera features the ability to cleverly detect unusual audio outside of business hours and trigger an alarm to notify security personnel of the audio disturbances.  It is also said to be both dust and water resistant, making it the ideal security solution in the event that a water pipe were to break or should a fire alarm trigger sprinkler system activation.

Security professionals and video surveillance experts are sure to be eager for the launch of the new AXIS M5014.

The AXIS M1011 is the basic low cost model. The AXIS M1011-W and M1031-W offer a flexible installation as both can be powered by wired or wireless connections. The AXIS M1054 offers HDTV resolutions up to 1280×800. The other models offer a max resolution of 640×480. All models offer two-way audio allowing you to communicate between the software location and camera location by plugging in speakers to the camera.

Bunning’s Warehouse is one of the leading home DIY (Do It Yourself) store and building material suppliers in Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 1886 and has grown to include approximately 280 stores between the two countries. ACTi IP cameras were chosen to secure one store initially with 20 IP cameras being installed. ACTi’s system integration partner, New Zealand based Income Security, was responsible for the IP camera implementation which includes ACTi megapixel IP cameras. The megapixel video resolution capabilities of the ACTi cameras have meet the video quality requirements set forth by Bunning’s Warehouse. With this initial installation seeing much success, there will be more Bunning’s Warehouse locations secured by ACTi IP cameras.
