In 2009, Axis introduces its popular AXIS M10 Series and this new launch is an extension of that family. The company has now added a range of features acting on the customer's feedback, noted Erik Frännlid, director of product management, Axis Communications.

Including features such as Power over Ethernet and HDTV, AXIS M1054 offers a high-quality yet affordable video surveillance solution, which is quick to install, and delivers HDTV quality video.

Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af support effectively reduces installation costs because only a single cable is needed for carrying power and video. The product can support two-way audio with an integrated microphone and speaker, and this allows remote users to listen in on an area as well as communicate with visitors or intruders.

While uploaded or recorded audio clips can also be played in response to an alarm event, progressive scan technology aids camera provide HDTV images of moving objects without motion blur.
