Axis Introduces Line of Compact, Outdoor-Ready Cameras

  • Apr 01, 2011
Axis Communications has announced new, outdoor-ready and affordable fixed cameras that support HDTV-quality video. With an easy-to-install and flexible design, the new AXIS M11-E cameras come with a wide choice of CS-mount lenses and are perfect for monitoring office buildings, gate, retail stores and gas stations.

Thanks to their slim and compact design, the AXIS M11 Series – which includes AXIS M1103, AXIS M1104, AXIS M1113, AXIS M1114 and now AXIS M1113-E and AXIS M1114-E – are ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations where video surveillance is used as a deterrent. The new outdoor-ready cameras deliver superb image quality and support multiple, individually configurable, high-resolution video streams in H.264 and Motion JPEG up to 30 fps in full resolution. Power over Ethernet enables power and video to be carried over the same cable, and the sunshield and casing are made of UV-resistant polymer and require no additional heater. The cameras can operate in a temperature range of -4 °F to 122 °F.

“Axis’ M-line series of cameras – from fixed, to fixed-dome, to PTZs – was created to bring high-quality network video surveillance to a wider market with an affordable price point,” said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager of Axis Communications. “These new AXIS M11-E network cameras mark the first true outdoor-ready cameras in the M-line and provide a great outdoor complement for cost-sensitive installations.”

Providing excellent image quality, the outdoor-ready cameras in the series include the AXIS M1114-E, with up to one megapixel resolution and 720p video conforming with HDTV standards for color fidelity, resolution, frame rate and wide-screen aspect ratio. AXIS M1113-E features SVGA 800x600 pixel resolution.

AXIS M11-E Network Cameras are supported by the industry’s largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner program and AXIS Camera Station. In addition, the cameras include support for AXIS Video Hosting System with One-Click Camera connection for managing video monitoring services over the Internet.

  • 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.
