LUND, Sweden, October 5, 2010 - Axis Communications announces AXIS P3346 Fixed Dome Network
Cameras to complement the successful AXIS P33 Series. AXIS P3346 is easily
installed thanks to remote zoom and focus and offers P-Iris control, HDTV
1080p and three megapixel resolution. AXIS P33 Network Cameras, designed for
efficient installation in both indoor and harsh outdoor environments,
constitute the best choice for a wide range of demanding video applications.

"AXIS P3346 is the first fixed dome on the market with P-Iris,
which ensures superb image quality" says Erik Frannlid, Director of Product
Management. "These three megapixel cameras are an attractive addition to AXIS
P33 Series that offers customers new benefits in terms of easy installation
and high-quality video surveillance."

The new fixed domes can deliver 3 megapixel resolution at
20fps, as well as wide screen HDTV 1080p video at 30fps, with great clarity
and sharpness. The P-Iris control allows the camera to optimize the iris
position for depth of field, lens resolution and incoming light to produce
superb image quality with optimum sharpness in all lighting conditions.

All three available models, indoor, indoor vandal-resistant
and outdoor vandal-resistant (AXIS P3346/-V/-VE) can be installed easily and
quickly through the combination of smart features such as remote zoom for
adjusting the angle of view over the network and remote focus that eliminates
the need for manual focusing. Outdoor models are specially designed with a
cable gaskets enabling flush wall mounting and requiring no additional
sealant, and the dehumidifying membrane eliminates any humidity caught in the
camera during installation. In addition, AXIS P33 Series offers a
comprehensive accessory portfolio, including a new IP51-rated drop ceiling
mount kit that protects the camera from condensation and dust that may exist
in the plenum space above the drop ceiling.

Moreover, these fixed dome network cameras support multi-view
streaming, allowing up to eight view areas cropped from the full view to be
streamed simultaneously with high performance. By streaming the selected
areas of interest only instead of the full view, the utilization of network
bandwidth and storage is optimized. Each view can be digitally zoomed in,
panned and tilted. Installation costs are reduced by simulating several
virtual cameras with one multi-megapixel camera.

AXIS P3346/-V/-VE Network Cameras are supported by the
industry's largest base of video management software through the Axis
Application Development Partner program, as well as by AXIS Camera Station.
In addition, the cameras include support for AXIS Camera Application Platform
and ONVIF, which allows for easy camera system integration and for
application developers to provide the camera with intelligent capabilities.

The cameras will be available in December 2010. For photos and
