Axis Network Cameras Increase Safety in Portuguese Schools

LUND, Sweden, December 4 - Axis Communications today announced that its network video cameras will
play a key role in a comprehensive safe school project in Portugal. More than
12,000 network cameras will be installed in order to increase security in
public schools in a cost-effective way. The installation started in August
2009 and is expected to continue during 2010.

The selected network camera models are the AXIS 225FD for the indoor
installations and the AXIS 221 for outdoor installations. Axis network
cameras are going to be installed in 1,200 schools, in 2nd and 3rd class of
primary education and in secondary schools. The cameras will be installed in
corridors and school entrances.

"We are proud to deliver our network cameras to the schools in Portugal.
We have seen an increasing interest in installations of network video
products at schools and universities due to a heightened interest in student
security." said Ray Mauritsson, President, Axis Communications. "As the
schools often have the infrastructure in place, a cost-efficient installation
of network cameras with superior image quality can easily be deployed."

Axis' network cameras have been selected for this project because of
their exceptional image quality, ease of installation and maintenance as well
as their ability to connect directly to existing IP networks in schools.
Furthermore, the functionality PoE (Power over Ethernet) will also reduce
installation costs as the cameras will be fed with power through the Ethernet
cable, unifying power and data on one cable.
