Description
**Versatile Deployment Options for Enhanced Surveillance**
The AXIS F44 Main Unit facilitates advanced surveillance by supporting up to four AXIS F Sensor Units, making it ideal for monitoring multiple nearby zones. With the main unit safely positioned in a protected area, sensor units can be strategically placed in compact spaces, both indoors and outdoors, at distances ranging from 8 to 15 meters (26 to 49 feet), contingent on the sensor unit type and cable accessory usage. This robust and feature-rich solution is adaptable for challenging environments such as retail spaces, ATMs, emergency vehicles, and public transport systems like buses and trams.
**Economical Multi-View Surveillance Solution**
The AXIS F44 delivers a budget-friendly approach to multi-view surveillance by enabling concurrent streaming from four distinct locations via a single Ethernet connection. This setup potentially reduces system costs when compared to installing four standard network cameras. By minimizing the number of required network switch ports and reducing licensing fees for video management software (VMS), the AXIS F44 streamlines system integration. It also allows for easier and more flexible installation than traditional camera systems. The AXIS F44 stands out as a high-performance standalone unit, supporting dual full-sized SD cards for localized recording storage.
**Dual Capture Modes for Maximum Flexibility**
Each channel of the AXIS F44 supports selectable 1080p or 720p capture modes with multiple, individually configurable streams, enabling simultaneous operation of both modes across its channels. In 1080p mode, users benefit from a full viewing angle with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at a frame rate of 12.5/15 fps, whereas the 720p mode offers a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at 25/30 fps, offering full view for applicable 720p sensor units. The device supports quad view streaming in both modes, combining views from four sensor units into a single display for consolidated observation.
**WDR – Forensic Capture for Superior Image Quality**
The AXIS F44 integrates Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) – Forensic Capture across all channels in the 720p mode, enhancing the visibility of detail in challenging lighting conditions. This feature is particularly advantageous for environments with contrasting light dynamics, such as entrances, ATM fronts, or transit locations. The integration of AXIS F Sensor Units enables high-quality color video in low-light conditions, maintaining clarity even at luminosity levels as low as 0.3 lux.
**Efficient Data Management with Zipstream**
Incorporating Axis’ innovative Zipstream technology, the AXIS F44 optimizes the H.264 video compression to substantially reduce bandwidth and storage needs by at least 50% in many surveillance applications. This technology focuses on preserving crucial details while minimizing non-essential data, making it a highly efficient solution for various security needs.
