Axis Communications M1054 Surveillance Kit

The Axis Communications M1054 Surveillance Kit consists of 4 M1054 network cameras, 1 camera station, and 4-base license. Featuring a 1/4’’ progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor and a 2.9mm fixed focus lens, the M1054 camera delivers high-quality VGA or HDTV images at a resolution from 1280 x 800 to 160 x 90 pixels. Supporting simultaneous transfer of multiple H.264 and Motion JPEG streams, the camera allows each video stream to be separately adjusted according to the corresponding quality and bandwidth requirements.

Auto White Balance adjusts the red and blue signals by taking a standard white color reference to get the most natural colors. Backlight Compensation adjusts video gain to correct the exposure when the object being captured is in front of a bright light. Besides, the M1054 camera includes features such as Privacy Masking, Text and Image Overlay, Exposure Control, Exposure Zones, and Mirroring of Images.

Two-way audio support with built-in microphone and speaker allows you to communicate with individuals directly or through the use of uploaded/recorded audio clips, and also allows you to remotely listen in on an area. Minimum illumination of 0 lux, coupled with the built-in LEDs, helps deliver clear images even in low-light conditions. The camera also features a PIR sensor that helps detect movements even in the dark and also supports I/O ports for connecting with external devices.

Intelligent video and audio detection allows video and audio recording to begin once motion is detected. You can receive alarm notifications via e-mail, HTTP, and TCP. The M1054 Surveillance Kit can be powered over by Ethernet IEEE 802.3af Class 2 or power supply up to a maximum of 6.49W. The digital pan, tilt, zoom, and the preset position feature help you to adapt and guard tour over a particular area. Password Protection restricts access to unauthorized persons and IP filtering restricts access to 1 or more user groups. User groups can be created with an IP address range being defined for each group.

Supporting HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over SSL), the M1054 Surveillance Kit protects streaming data transmission across the network. Quality of Service (QoS) support helps you secure the necessary bandwidth for streaming video and control commands over a network. Along with IP version 4 (IPv4), the kit also supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

With support for ONVIF, the device easily integrates with other ONVIF-conformant network video products. The M1054 Surveillance Kit also supports HDTV network video that provides excellent video quality.

The single unit Axis Camera Station software allows efficient management of up to 50 cameras and their videos in the system. With the H.264 video compression support, the bandwidth and storage efficiency is optimized, reducing the bit rate without hampering the image quality. Integrated site maps provide a full overview of the monitored area and access to any Axis network camera in the installation.

You can use a joystick or mouse to control the PTZ functions. In addition to the scheduled and event-driven recordings that are triggered by motion or external inputs, the software also supports manual recording that is triggered directly by the live view interface. The camera station uses the camera based motion detection and cross line detection to save bandwidth and disk space.
