Product: Axis Camera
Companion
Company: Axis

video surveillance solution for
small systems up to 16 cameras.
The system consists of stand-
ard Axis cameras, SD cards,
software clients for PC and

client only needs to be used at
installation. For viewing live or
recorded video, or exporting
video after an incident, either

an independent video recording

The Detektor International Award
is an independent prize and as
such companies cannot nomi-
nate their own products. Instead,
the nomination is conducted by
the editorial board of Detektor.
This selection criteria is the main
reason why it has become one of
the most prestigious awards in the
global security market. The jury
consists of members of the edito-
rial board of Detektor from three
continents.
The criteria for a product to
be nominated for a Detektor
International Award encompasses
not only the technical solution
but also the packaging and over all
presentation of the product, which
actually could equally as well be a
service.
The twelve nominated finalist
products have been chosen on
the basis of both innovation and
customer orientation. Winning
products need to be smart as well
as useful. Products are divided
into the following three categories:
the Access Control category, the
Alarm & Detection category and
the CCTV category.
The overall winner in each
category will receive the award for
"Best Product", the second will
receive the "Highly Commended
Award" distinction and third place
will be presented with the diploma
for "Innovative Achievement
Award".
CCTV
The nominated CCTV products
are:

Stockholm on the evening of September 19th.
