LAS VEGAS—The surveillance manufacturer Axis Communications, has announced a range of new intelligent edge devices and solutions designed to utilize IoT enhanced security to offer business intelligence, and operational efficiencies.
Unveiled at ISC West 2025, the new Axis products include a state-of-the-art recording server optimized for AI-based analytics, as well as multifunctional network speakers with text display; a programmable network strobe speaker with preinstalled audio analytics, and a new class of precision air quality sensors.
“Today’s businesses require actionable insights for data-driven decisions, making edge intelligence more important than ever for data processing,” says Fredrik Nilsson, vice president, Americas, Axis Communications.
“At Axis, we design our devices to integrate seamlessly, so users can get more from their data without the complexity. Our latest solutions highlight how we’re taking interoperability to the next level to help businesses uncover insights and streamline operations by leveraging powerful intelligence at the edge.”
Axis Communications Products Provide Open Architecture, Seamless Integration and AI Technologies
Axis’ latest offering marks a notable step forward in enhancing IoT capabilities with features that span from the edge to on-premises and cloud solutions. At the core of all Axis solutions is its open architecture that it says enables seamless integration with an ecosystem of partner applications and third-party technologies.
The new AXIS S1228 AI-Optimized Server delivers advanced analytics, including AI-powered free-text search, to streamline identification and response processes. Working in tandem with AXIS Camera Station Pro, the S1228 optimizes tools like Smart Search 2, which is powered by AI natural language models. This integration enables businesses to extract deeper insights, accelerate video forensics, and automate responses. Together, these innovations significantly improve security, business intelligence, and operational efficiency across the entire infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Axis Communications will highlight edge devices such as the new network strobe speaker elevate communication with built-in audio analytics that automatically detect sounds and trigger responses. New devices like Axis’ environmental sensors—monitoring for temperature, humidity, CO2, VOCs, smoking, vaping and more—are said to provide new data streams that integrate with existing systems to enhance safety, business intelligence, and operational efficiency.
A Closer Look at the new Products on Display
AXIS S1228 AI-Optimized Server: This solution is said to allow businesses to get the most out of their advanced analytics applications, including the free text search capabilities in AXIS Camera Station Pro Smart search. This helps to ensure that users can easily search through video footage from multiple cameras and quickly identify moving objects.
In addition to providing fast Smart search results, Axis Communications points out the new server can engage actions or notifications based on free text search and pre-classified triggers, such as activating speakers, strobing lights, or alarms when a delivery truck enters the property.
The recording server will be available through Axis distribution channels in April 2025 at an MSRP of $10,499.
AXIS C1710 Network Display Speaker and dual-sided corridor AXIS C1720 Network Display Speaker: These products are designed to reach more people than standard, audio-only models. These devices feature an attention-grabbing strobe bar, speakers, and a color text display to help clearly communicate to occupants in schools, healthcare facilities, transportation hubs, and other protected areas. Built on open standards, the Axis Communications’ network display speakers can integrate with third-party mass notification systems to ensure effective communication when it matters most.
The AXIS C1710 and AXIS C1720 are designed for easy wall and ceiling mounting. Both the display and strobe features are customizable and offer users a variety of colors and animations to meet their specific needs.
The AXIS C1710 and AXIS C1720 speakers will be available through Axis distribution channels starting in June 2025, with an MSRP of $1,599 and $1,899 respectively.
Powerful all-in-one strobe and speaker: This multi-purpose audio-visual signaling device enables live and pre-recorded audio and alarm sounds. It supports AXIS Audio Manager enabling zone management, and the possibility to schedule content and provide it where needed. AXIS D4200-VE comes with AXIS Audio Analytics pre-installed, allowing the devices to automatically detect sounds and trigger the appropriate alert and response.
The recording server will be available through Axis distribution channels April 30, 2025, at an MSRP of $899.
AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor: According to Axis Communications, the D6210 helps ensure healthy indoor environments by detecting air pollutants like particle matter, smoke and other potentially hazardous elements as well as monitoring relative humidity and temperature. The device can trigger an event when pre-defined thresholds are breached, allowing organizations to maintain control over their indoor environments.
This device allows organizations to expand and enhance their systems by monitoring and managing air quality. The AXIS D6210 leverages portcast technology, enabling seamless integration with certain other Axis IP devices such as cameras and strobes, or used in combination with speakers. By eliminating the need for separate cabling, portcast simplifies installation and streamlines the setup process. With this unified system, organizations can automatically trigger actions in response to detections, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations.
Later this year, Axis will launch the next in its series of environmental sensors: AXIS D6310 Air Quality Sensor. Building on the capabilities of AXIS D6210, this standalone model will offer enhanced air quality sensing with new features and functionality.
The AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor will be available through Axis distribution channels May 2025 at an MSRP of $399.
