Security Today Recognizes Axis Video Authentication as Top Video Surveillance-Advanced Imaging Technology for 2022
Axis Communications was recently awarded the Security Today 2022 New Product of the Year Award in the Video Surveillance Advanced Imaging Technology category for its Signed Video—an open-source video authentication and verification framework that ensures integrity of surveillance video from the point of capture. The 2022 New Product of the Year Award recognized Axis for its outstanding product development and dedication to improving security.
Axis understands that trust is an intrinsic part of security, and its new Signed Video provides peace of mind by ensuring that video footage has not been compromised. Axis’ Signed Video started as an open-source project for video authentication and verification and evolved into Axis’ new framework for verifying video streams. With Signed Video, a secure signature is inserted directly into a video stream at its origin, the camera. This signature confirms that the video you see has not been edited or tampered with since being captured by the camera—guaranteeing authenticity throughout its entire chain of custody. Given the critical importance of video integrity and the open-source nature of Axis’s Signed Video, the company has shared the reference design for use by the whole industry.
Security Today’s New Product of the Year Awards are an independently juried contest that recognizes excellence in product development within the security industry. This was the 14th year of the awards, which recognized manufacturers in 47 different product categories.
