Let’s be honest—most security cameras are there just in case. A break-in. A fire. A “we’ll check the footage later” kind of moment.

But what if your cameras could do more than just react?

At Suburban Technology, we partner with Axis Communications because their cameras go beyond basic surveillance. They help you prevent problems, save time, and even reduce how many devices you need—all while improving visibility and control across your facility.

Here’s what we mean:

🔍 1. Detect Ice or Slippery Surfaces

Axis cameras with thermal imaging and custom analytics (like the AXIS Perimeter Defender) can detect temperature changes—like icy patches forming on sidewalks or loading docks—before they become safety hazards.

Real-world example: Facility managers get alerts when ground temperature drops, and moisture is detected, preventing accidents and reducing liability.

🧠 2. Search Footage by Object or Behavior with AI

Thanks to deep learning processing, Axis cameras allow you to search footage based on what is in the footage, not just when it was captured.

Imagine the possibilities:

• “Show me all people wearing red shirts”

• “Find when a package was left on the dock”

• “When did a white truck enter the parking lot?”

It’s like Ctrl+F for your security footage—a huge time saver for anyone managing a facility.

🚗 3. Edge-based License Plate Recognition

Axis cameras equipped with License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology can automatically log license plates, trigger gate access, or alert when a specific vehicle arrives. The best part? It works even in low light and doesn’t require a server or cloud services.

📡 4. Radar + Camera Combo

Axis’s D2110-VE Radar pairs with a camera to track movement with more accuracy than traditional video motion detection. This combination is perfect for outdoor areas, low-light conditions, or high-traffic zones.

It detects distance, speed, and direction, and reduces false alarms caused by animals or wind.

📷 5. Multi-sensor Cameras (One Device, Multiple Views)

Axis multi-sensor models, like the P37 or Q61 series, offer:

• 360° or 180° coverage

• PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) with auto-tracking

• Seamless panoramic stitching

You get fewer cameras, less infrastructure, and full situational awareness—all in one device.

⚠️ 6. Aggression Detection & Sound Analytics

Axis cameras can detect specific sounds that signal potential threats, such as aggressive tones, raised voices, or even sharp impact sounds like glass breaking. Using AI-driven audio analytics, these cameras can send alerts to security teams before any visual escalation occurs—catching problems before they’re even seen.

🛑 7. Audio Analytics: Scream or Glass Break Detection

Equipped with built-in microphones and onboard analytics, Axis cameras can specifically detect screams or the sound of glass breaking, even if the event happens outside the camera’s visual range. This feature helps enhance security by triggering immediate alerts when something out of the ordinary is heard.

🛡️ 8. Tampering and Scene Change Detection

Axis cameras can alert you if someone tampers with the camera (like moving or covering it), or if the scene changes (like someone rearranging objects to avoid detection).

📉 9. Axis Zipstream Compression

Axis cameras use Zipstream technology to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising critical video quality. Unlike basic compression that blurs faces or details, Zipstream ensures you preserve important forensic data and reduce storage costs.

🏢 10. Integrate with Smart Building Tech

Axis cameras work seamlessly with access control, intercoms, and building automation systems.

Example: A camera sees someone approaching the door, logs their badge swipe, unlocks the door, and sends the footage to the manager—all in real-time.

Let’s Rethink What Cameras Can Do

At Suburban Technology, we’re all about quality over quantity. With Axis, you can often get more done with fewer cameras—and with a system that works smarter, not harder.

So, whether you’re looking to improve safety, or just make your job easier—let’s talk. We’d love to show you how Axis cameras can make a difference in your facility.
