About Axis
What we install from Axis
Network cameras
Fixed, dome, PTZ and panoramic multi-sensor cameras.
Network intercoms
Video door stations for entrances and gates.
Network audio
IP speakers for announcements and for warning off intruders.
Edge analytics and storage
On-camera analytics, plus recording to the camera itself as a backup.
Choosing the right Axis setup
Axis has a camera for almost every situation, so the work is in matching the right model to each spot: fixed domes for halls and lobbies, panoramic multi-sensor cameras for wide areas, PTZs for large yards, and network speakers where a spoken warning helps. Axis intercoms are worth considering where you want the door station to match the camera system.
Upgrading an existing Axis system
Because Axis cameras work with major video platforms, they’re a common choice when upgrading a system in stages. New Axis cameras can be added to Milestone or Genetec alongside older cameras until those are replaced.

Remote video monitoring with Axis
Already have Axis cameras, or planning a new Axis system? Remote video monitoring can usually be added, so a monitoring team reviews alerts 24/7, warns people off through speakers and calls police or your contact when it’s real. We confirm how it connects to your system first. How remote video monitoring works.
- Live alerts from your cameras reviewed 24/7 by a monitoring operator
- Talk-down speakers that warn people off before damage is done
- Police or your contact called when it’s real, with the video
- Added to new cameras, or to existing cameras we’ve checked
