Martin Gren, co-founder of Axis Communications, cited IP cameras as an example of innovation: “Twelve years ago, the market share of video surveillance was dominated by analog systems, and the share of IP cameras was low. At first, it was difficult to convince customers to implement them. But this approach won and undermined the foundations of the old analog world of security systems.” He noted that the basis for the innovation process at Axis is the ARTPEC chipset, which is focused on video surveillance and security tasks: “Now the seventh version of the chipset has been released, and the eighth is already in the lab.”
Magnus Zederfeldt, Regional Sales Director at Axis Communications, recalled that IP video solutions were implemented in Russia earlier than in other countries: “For example, in the mid- 2000s, a major project was implemented at Vnukovo Airport and in the Moscow metro, and a city video surveillance system was built in St. Petersburg.”
In moving from camera manufacturing to solutions, Axis has croatia whatsapp data an open approach. As Martin Gren explained, the company cannot cover all industries on its own, so it needs to involve partners. As early as 2001, an open interface to network cameras was created and published, which even the company's competitors can use. And in 2008, the ACAP development platform appeared, on which more than a hundred applications are currently running.
Martin Gren mentioned Lightfinder technology, which allows color recognition even at night, and the Zipstream video compression product, which helps avoid the high costs of transmitting and storing growing volumes of video, as innovative achievements of recent years.
