Security video specialist Axis has announced a new camera designed to operate in desert conditions, plus a ruggedised analog encoder for tough - though not quite so demanding - environments.

  A surveillance system in the Melbourne inner suburb of Footscray led to 18 arrests before it was commissioned.  

Many of the features of professional video surveillance systems are available to home users in the form of Logitech's new Alert system.

Network video camera specialist Axis has released two new series of surveillance cameras. The company sees edge storage as an important feature for IP cameras.

The next few years will see a continuing switch from analog to digital surveillance cameras, and to the increased use of processing power built into individual cameras, according to Ray Mauritsson, president and CEO of Axis Communications.

The growing use of digital video will be assisted by WD's latest high-capacity drives.

A new surveillance camera from Axis can provide a 360-degree view of a site, or zoom in on the action.

Axis has released a raft of new products, including IP surveillance cameras and a video encoder blade to integrate analogue cameras with an IP video system.

NICTA and Microsoft Research Asia are collaborating to improve video search by applying surveillance technology.

A survey of US integrators suggests IP-based digital video cameras are more cost-effective than analogue technology.
