Shaping smarter, more livable cities

Half of the world’s population live in cities today –  that could rise to 5 billion people by 2030. To manage this growth, city authorities need to find ways to protect citizen safety and quality of life while using their budgets more effectively. Axis collaborates with a vast network of partners to provide scalable, flexible solutions built on open industry standards. Using innovative technology and unmatched expertise, we bring your resources together to improve efficiency within public safety, urban mobility, and environmental monitoring.

Camera as an IoT sensor

An Axis network camera has primarily been used for city surveillance to improve public safety and emergency management, but it can also be a tool for gathering data and statistics for traffic management and environmental monitoring. By adding analytics on the edge of the camera, the camera can start to count, measure and sense. With deep-learning capability, the camera can generate accurate and trustworthy data or events.

The latest camera technology opens up for several new use cases and one single camera can provide reliable and cost-efficient solutions to multiple city authorities.

Artificial intelligence on the edge: the opportunities for video surveillance
Audio in cities

Network audio solutions for a more livable city

Network audio adds value to your city by helping you communicate with citizens and visitors. Learn how the combined power of network video and audio can improve urban security, public safety, and city operations. With audio cities can deliver critical information when needed or use pre-recorded messages to deter crime or why not play music to add to the ambiance of the city.
