Axis Communications Showcases New Technologies, Highlights Recent Launches at GSX

As part of the company’s ongoing efforts to continue innovating to deliver the highest quality product offerings for the fast-changing security industry, Axis Communications is exhibiting its latest innovations at the 2024 Global Security Exchange (GSX).

Amongst its newest offerings are the AXIS Q1971-E Thermal Camera, a halogen-free thermal camera which provides reliable detection and verification in all weather and light conditions, as well as AXIS Image Health Analytics, which notifies the user of any image quality issues.

AXIS Q1971-E Thermal Camera
Detect and verify regardless of weather and light

The AXIS Q1971-E Thermal Camera is an ideal product for handling perimeter protection in larger and more complicated environments, like construction sites. This robust, halogen-free thermal camera provides users with both reliable and consistent detection and verification at all hours of the day, regardless of weather or lighting conditions. With five lens alternatives, the AXIS Q1971 provides optimal installation possibilities for those who need more flexibility during this process.

The camera also contains thermal palettes, as well as electronic image stabilization (EIS), to assist with visually identifying different heat sources, and ensuring a stable, focused video, regardless of environment. The AXIS Q1971-E also does its part to reduce its carbon footprint, as the halogen-free design ensures it’s more environmentally friendly and does away with the need for lighting in dark scenes, thus lowering its system power consumption. With Axis Edge Vault included, the camera also keeps information safe and protected against unauthorized access.

Axis Image Health Analytics
Secure image quality and field of view

AXIS Image Health Analytics notifies users of any issues with image quality and ensures that the cameras being used are capturing the right images at all times. Amongst its functions is multisite management, which allows users to view the image being taken from a myriad of cameras across multiple locations, and identify any blocked, redirected, blurred, or otherwise compromised imagery. This capability renders the product extremely useful in environments that are hazardous or difficult to reach. AXIS Image Health Analytics also utilizes machine learning to identify any potential camera weaknesses or issues accurately, and reduce false alarms.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
