AXIS Companion Dome WV and AXIS Companion Cube LW include Axis’ Zipstream technology allowing high quality video to be stored locally on the SD card. Video is captured at full HDTV 1080p or 2-megapixel resolution for clear identification of people and objects. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology allows the cameras to adapt to highly variable lighting conditions. For example, when sunlight shines through a window and creates both very bright areas as well as dark shadow areas.

AXIS Companion Dome WV is a palm-sized dome network camera for discreet ceiling or wall mounting. It features HDMI output to connect a screen for live viewing. This can be used in retail stores to discourage shoplifting.

AXIS Companion Cube LW is a cube network camera that can be flexibly placed and directed. It offers a 110-degree horizontal field of view for full coverage of small rooms. It can be corner-mounted, wall-mounted or positioned with a table stand. A motion sensor and infrared LED illumination enable video surveillance monitoring even in the dark, according to the company. An integrated microphone and speaker allow for audio recording and speaking to the scene.
