Saving bandwidth and space without sacrificing valuable information.
about Axis Communications
In 1984, Mikael Karlsson, Martin Gren and Keith Bloodworth founded Axis aiming at changing the way people use and think about digital devices. That marked the beginning of our commitment to create a smarter, safer world. At the time, the idea of using network technology to connect devices (originally network print, storage and scanner servers) and turn them intelligent was new. We called it ThinServer Technology. Today, it’s known as the Internet of Things (IoT).
Backlighting, and scenes with both bright and dark areas.
We decided early on to only work with open standards and avoid proprietary protocols to increase scalability and make huge savings on equipment costs – and power consumption.
We also knew from the start that to scale innovation and solve complex challenges, two heads are better than one. So we established a strict two-tier distribution model for our entire portfolio based on openness and loyalty. And we kept on creating programs and forums for technical and sales partnerships, sometimes even open for our competitors to join.
Using our skills in networking and our imagination, we came up with the idea of connecting a camera onto the network. In 1996, we launched the world’s first network camera, the AXIS Neteye 200. From that moment on, people with an internet connection could watch what was going on from anywhere in the world. And for those who already had a large installation of CCTV systems, we created network encoders so they could gain access to the latest IP technology as well.

We all want to feel safe and secure, it’s a basic human need. It comes way before in the hierarchy of needs than esteem or self-actualization. However, we all perceive that security differently. There are cultural and geographical differences in this perception and also a correlation to the actual level of security based on the individual’s knowledge of the situation or based on the sequence of events that have occurred historically.
Axis offers security solutions that contribute to crime prevention and help law enforcement solve criminal cases and by then create a smarter, safer world. The real and perceived effectiveness of surveillance cameras in deterring crime is a major reason why public opinion polls show an increasingly positive attitude towards the use of them in public places.

Despite safety, Axis offers smart solutions with cutting edge technologies such as remote monitoring, Lightfinder technology, ease of installation and also the possibility to integrate customer analytics functionalities. Our customers can optimize their business, gain business intelligence and reduce carbon footprint by taking part of the material remotely.Intelligent security solutions, including network cameras, are also crucial building blocks for constructing the environmentally and socially sustainable cities of the future.
