Axis Communications announced an offering to meet the unique security requirements of small businesses. The AXIS Companion Line makes adopting an advanced network video security system an easier, more cost-effective and low risk proposition for businesses that have a basic need for video surveillance to secure employees, customers, premises and assets. A key element in the AXIS Companion Line is the AXIS Companion Recorder, an 8-channel network video recorder with a built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch for cost savings at installation. The device includes a video surveillance grade hard disk and a fan-less design. It also includes a USB port for easy export of video footage and a wireless access point for direct access to the system with mobile devices.
