Widely recognized as a leader in cameras for security and surveillance, Axis Communications has transcended its initial identity and extends it influence far beyond the lens to emerge as a trailblazer and facilitator in the ever-evolving landscape of new technology.
Diversifying beyond cameras.
The roots of Axis's journey in new technology can be traced back to its inception. From the groundbreaking innovation of print servers to the world’s first network camera in 1996, Axis has consistently demonstrated a commitment to innovation.
While Axis is renowned for its state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, its foray into new technologies is a testament to its adaptability and foresight. The company has strategically expanded its product portfolio to include a comprehensive suite of solutions, spanning network audio, intercoms, access control, and intelligent analytics.
The development of the ARTPEC system on chip (SoC) in late 1999 showcased Axis's dedication to addressing technological gaps. And by the 2000s, Axis has redefined how its products integrated with other security systems, identifying areas for improvement. This proactive approach led to the development of solutions that transformed analog devices into IP. The expansion into audio solutions, starting with the launch of the C3003-E Horn Speaker in March 2015, further demonstrates Axis's dedication to offering holistic and integrated solutions that go beyond video surveillance.
Making New Tech easy.
Axis's relevance in new technology is anchored in several factors. The emphasis on ease of technology, flexibility, and an open edge base technology approach ensures that Axis solutions seamlessly integrate from analog to IP and beyond. The company's expansion into audio and intercoms was driven by a desire to simplify technology use for customers, culminating in the offering of end-to-end solutions and that enhance site management security.
The expansion with build-in software products into access control, intercoms, and the acquisition of 2N in 2016 reinforced Axis's commitment to meeting diverse customer needs across verticals, from security to business operations and safety. The collaboration with 2N, the inventor of the IP Intercom, mirrored Axis's own legacy of pioneering the IP camera. This strategic move reflected Axis's vision to innovate and the continuous pursuit of simplifying technology use.
