Unlike analog surveillance installations, AXIS Camera Companion does not require a central recording device – a digital video recorder (DVR), network video recorder (NVR), or even a computer. All images are recorded onto a standard SD memory card in each camera, and the cameras keep recording even if the network fails. The cameras are powered over the network, eliminating the need for separate power cables. This reduces cost, simplifies installation, and makes the system more robust as there is no single point of failure. To further protect customer’s investments, existing analog cameras can be integrated via video encoders.
Further features of AXIS Camera Companion 2.1 include:
Multi-view streaming to increase surveillance efficiency for multi-megapixel cameras
Search filter for easy navigation to different sites
Visual system status notification
Windows 8 touch screen support
Third-party apps for viewing live and recorded video from EyeSpyFX and BrightSentry
One-click configuration for NAS units from QNAP
