How can you benefit?
IP-based video surveillance solutions offer several advantages for retail applications:
- Remote accessibility
- Easy, future-proof integration
- Scalability and flexibility
- Cost-effectiveness
- Distributed intelligence
- Proven technology
Access live video at anytime, from anywhere
Modern video surveillance solutions give
shopkeepers,
store managers and security experts the opportunity to
access real-time video at any time from any
computer anywhere.
Network video products provide an easy way to capture and distribute high quality video over any kind of IP network or the Internet. The video can be stored at remote locations for convenience and security, and the information can be transported over the LAN or Internet. Nation-wide retail chains can make effective use of a network video solution for security surveillance and remote monitoring purposes.
Put the cameras wherever you want, integrate
applications, and leverage your investments
Network video products are not tied to physical inputs or frame grabbers. They can be connected to a LAN, xDSL, modem, wireless adapter or cell phone. Basically wherever you can receive a phone call on your cell phone, you can receive images from a network video solution.
Migrating your analog CCTV system
With a network video solution, you can integrate your existing analog system with products that bring it up to speed with the latest IP technology. Take advantage of functionalities such as remote pan/tilt/zoom, Power over Ethernet, wireless, Megapixel, audio and video motion detection.

Integration with other systems
IP-based video surveillance has the capacity to provide a high level of integration with other equipment and functions, making it a continually developing system. You can have your point-of-sales system integrated with the network video system to ensure that every transaction is monitored and no irregularities occur.
A system that grows with your needs
A network video system can be expanded by adding more network cameras. You can choose exactly what you need today, and scale the system at any time to meet your growing needs.
New technologies, additional cameras, and extra storage capacity are all easily added as required, thanks to strict adherence to industry standards.
Save money and lower total cost of ownership thanks to strict adherence to industry standards
With a digital solution, maintenance costs are low since it makes use of your existing network infrastructure and involves few moving parts. Nevertheless, image quality is high, leading to easy identification of people and a clear view of transactions. In contrast to normal video tapes whose image quality gets lower the more they are used, the image quality you get from a digital solution remains consistent over time.
For a retail chain, feeding video into a single control room where a centralized security team can access and act upon the video information saves operating costs - compared to having one dedicated CCTV control room at each store.
Axis network video products also support a number of advanced technologies such as Power over Ethernet, which provides power to the network camera using the same cable as that used for network connection.
Put the system's intelligence wherever you need it
Using network cameras equipped with motion detection, security guards will not have to waste time and effort in responding to false alarms. Cameras can send images of a break-in to your security guard’s phone or PDA enabling him to assess whether or not his presence is required.
More intelligent algorithms such as people counting and face recognition are also being integrated into network video products. You obtain data in more manageable forms and with higher levels of accuracy. Intelligence at the camera level implies a far more effective means of surveillance than is possible with a DVR or other centralized system.
Safe investments that
last well into the future
Network video started at Axis Communications. Axis invented and launched the first network camera back in 1996, and continues to lead this market.
Axis surveillance solutions have been installed in retail environments around the world. Working with an extensive network of CCTV and IT industry partners, Axis can fit the ideal video solution around your needs now and in the future.
