AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera - the Best CCTV Product 2005

LUND, Sweden

The recently announced AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera received the Best Product Award during the 6th annual Detektor International Awards ceremony, on October 25th, 2005 in Stockholm, Sweden.
   This First Prize recognition was based on the category of CCTV or Video Surveillance products. Axis is the only company to have previously been nominated every year for the prestigious Detektor Award.

More than three hundred security professionals gathered at the security banquet at the Stockholm Globe Arena complex, where the Sectech Security Exhibition and Conference also being held.   
  In total, twelve securityproducts were nominated in the categories of CCTV, Alarm and Access Control products. The Detektor International Award Prize was initiated to reward and encourage research and development within the field of
technical security systems.
   The accolade for the AXIS 225FD was handed out based on the judgment of an international jury. An important contributing factor to the prestige reputation of the Detektor International Award is the fact that the manufacturers cannot apply for the award. The selection is carried out exclusively by a jury comprising of nine independent professionals (all of them associated with the editorial board of Detektor International) from five different countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK and USA), who
have followed the flow of newly launched products from all over the globe during the last 12 months.
   The product is considered to be a smart and innovative all-in-one product, encompassing a high performance camera with progressive scan,
   Power over Ethernet (PoE), a built-in heater/blower, all in a
vandal-resistant housing. The panel of judges commented that:
"Axis gives another brilliant example of state-of-the-art network camera technology for video surveillance applications."
   "We are very happy to receive this award, especially since it is Axis' first fixed dome network camera," said Johan Lembre, Vice President, Product Management of Axis Communications. "It further encourages our commitment to lead the development of professional and innovative products for network video."
