Keeping in view the requirement of areas such as airports, passport controls and casinos, where security needs greater image detail, global leader in network video market Axis Communications has introduced HDTV network camera which will be available next month.

"The HDTV performance of AXIS Q1755 Network camera, with crisp and clear images at full frame rate fulfills the professional market's demands for greater image detail and true colour representation...Besides, bandwidth and storage demands are considerably reduced by H.264 compression, maintaining true HDTV resolution at full frame rate," company Director of Product Management Erik Frannlid said.

The camera, which delivers HDTV 1080i or 720 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and supports both H.264 and Motion JPEG in full frame rate, provides exceptional quality images even of fast moving objects in all lighting conditions.

It also incorporates the new Gatekeeper functionality which automatically zooms in when there is activity in the scene and then zooms out after a preset time interval, the company said in a statement today.
