Types of network cameras

A complete portfolio for any need

The Axis product range offers the world’s largest selection of network cameras. The cameras are divided into four categories – Fixed network cameras, Fixed dome network cameras, PTZ network cameras, and PTZ dome network cameras – providing high-quality video solutions for any professional indoor or outdoor video surveillance application.

Fixed network cameras

A fixed network camera meets a variety of application needs, and its traditional camera design adds a deter- ring effect. The viewing direction is set once the camera is mounted. There are several models with a varifocal lens and/or exchangeable lenses for increased flexibility. Housings are available for mounting the camera outdoors or in harsh environments.

Fixed dome network cameras

A fixed dome network camera is a compact camera solu- tion with a dome casing. Its main benefit lies in its discreet, non-obtrusive design, as well as in the fact that it is difficult to see in which direction the camera is pointing. The camera’s dome casing design offers efficient protec- tion against redirection and defocusing.

PTZ network cameras

A PTZ network camera offers network video function- ality combined with pan/tilt/zoom capability. The cam- era’s movement is easily controlled via a computer connected to the network. Depending on the applica- tion, the most suitable choice may be a PTZ network camera where both movement and viewing direction are visible, a more discreet model where all moving parts are inside the casing, or a model with no moving parts.

PTZ dome network cameras

A PTZ dome network camera provides full flexibility by offering 360-degree pan, 180-degree tilt, extensive zooming capabilities and advanced mechanical design for continuous camera movement. PTZ domes are ideal for live monitoring, where the user needs to actively follow a person or object. They can also be operated in guard tour mode, where the camera automatically moves between preset positions.
