Axis returns to Smart City Expo with its urban video surveillance solutions

Durante su asistencia a Smart City Expo World Congress 2021, Axis will show the role of video surveillance in public and environmental safety, as well as in urban mobility.

After last year's virtual event, Axis Communications is back at Smart City Expo World Congress which will take place 16 al 18 November. In this meeting, which this year will celebrate its tenth anniversary, will showcase a series of products and solutions that place video surveillance at the center of the key objectives of smart cities, with a particular focus on public safety, urban mobility and environmental monitoring.

Recognizing the importance of data collection, storage and analysis in connected urban environments, Axis will exhibit alongside Microsoft in the Pavilion 2, level 0, calle D, stand 152 of Celebrate Barcelona.

Entre las soluciones que la compañía expondrá se encuentran las cámaras panorámicas basadas en el recientemente anunciado sistema en un chip Artpec-8, con análisis de bordes integrados habilitados para el aprendizaje profundo. También podrán verse sus cámaras de vigilancia que ya están siendo empleadas por ciudades inteligentes de todo el mundo, incluyendo las tipo caja, las de movimiento horizontal, vertical movement and zoom (PTZ) y la solución Axis Body Worn Camera.

Otra solución que estará presente es ACAP 4, la plataforma de aplicaciones de cámaras de la compañía que permitirá a los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones de visión por ordenador para su plataforma.

Los asistentes a la feria podrán comprobar cómo tecnologías como la interfaz de la plataforma de aplicaciones Vapix de Axis y el protocolo de mensajería de IoT MQTT están permitiendo las conexiones entre los sensores de datos para hacer realidad la visión de la ciudad inteligente. O cómo conceptos como los gemelos digitales y los postes inteligentes están permitiendo que las ciudades inteligentes recojan y utilicen los datos como un acelerador para alcanzar sus objetivos.

Genetec y Microsoft

Junto a Axis también se expondrá el software de gestión de vídeo de Genetec y se pondrá de relieve la integración entre las soluciones de ambas empresas.

Con Microsoft presentará la potencia de la última tecnología de cámaras de red con deep learning, combined with the cloud platform Azure.

“The combination of Axis Camera Application Platform (ACAP) and Microsoft Azure allows more power and scalability from the edge to the cloud: a hybrid development platform for our ecosystem partners and integrators to build enterprise-ready AI solutions, comments Andrea Sorri, Director of Smart Cities Segment Development EMEA at Axis.
