Axis Network Surveillance Cameras Chosen to improve Security for Prague's Buses

Several Hundred AXIS 209FD-R Network Cameras Will be Installed in new Prague Buses

PRAGUE, February 4 - The Axis Cameras' Progressive Scan Technology Provides Full
Resolution Images of Moving Objects Ensuring High-quality Video Evidence to
Help Solve Incidents of Vandalism and Other Crimes

Axis Communications(1), the global leader in the network video
market(2), announced today that over the next six years several hundred AXIS
209FD-R(3) network cameras will be installed in new public transport buses in
Prague. The IP cameras will be part of a system for monitoring each vehicle's
interior, improving passenger security and providing evidence to help solve
incidents of vandalism and other crimes.

Over the next six years, the SOR Libchavy bus manufacturer
will supply the Prague Transport Authority (DPHMP) with a total of 620 buses
for municipal transport. The new buses will have a modern design and meet
strict environmental criteria. Each bus will also be equipped with an IP
surveillance camera system(4) for monitoring its interior featuring the AXIS
209FD-R network camera.

The AXIS 209FD-R network camera is a palm-sized, discrete,
rugged network camera(5) designed specifically for the tough environments
found in mass transit vehicles. Its durable transparent cover provides
excellent protection against dust, humidity and vibrations. The small
built-in heater eliminates condensation on the lens or cover. The cameras are
designed for easy installation and can withstand the tough and changing
conditions in buses.

The Axis camera's progressive scan technology(6) provides full
resolution images of moving objects with no distortion, thus ensuring good
quality evidence to help solve incidents of vandalism and other crimes. All
recorded video has a resolution of up to 640×480 pixels, which is more than
the 2CIF typically offered by analog systems. The AXIS 209FD-R network
cameras also feature specific intelligent capabilities(7) such as the active
tampering alarm(8), which sends a warning sound when it detects that a vandal
is attempting to move, block or cover it in spray-paint.

"The AXIS 209FD-R is designed for deployment in buses so it
has been specifically designed to prevent or reduce crime, graffiti and
vandalism, which are the key requirements in this environment. In case of an
accident or crime, it also provides useful high-quality video evidence to
support and accelerate the investigation process," says Edwin Roobol,
Regional Manager NL, DACH and CEE.

100 AXIS 209FD-R cameras have been installed in the Prague
buses since November 2009. The whole project will be finished in 2014 and
will incorporate several hundred Axis IP cameras(9).
