Image stabilization
Image stabilization technologies keep your video smooth and steady—no matter where the camera is mounted. On high poles, or near heavy traffic, even with long tele lenses that may amplify vibrations, you still get clear, stable footage.
Smooth video despite vibrations
Cameras mounted on high poles or near heavy traffic can be shaken by winds or passing traffic. As a result, images are often shaking and troublesome to view. Axis image stabilization technologies effectively minimize the effects of vibrations to ensure reliable images. They cover a wide band of frequencies, and the built-in gyroscopic sensors can distinguish between physically induced vibrations and motion in the scene, ensuring accurately steady images regardless of the cause of the vibration.
Gyroscopic sensors continuously detect the camera’s movements and automatically adjust the image, either electronically or optically. With electronic image stabilization (EIS), each line in the image is moved digitally to form the final image. With optical image stabilization (OIS), a moving lens counteracts the vibrations, guaranteeing a steady image. Furthermore, both technologies ensure precise privacy masking when the image is subjected to vibrations.
Greater flexibility
With image stabilization technologies, you can install your Axis camera anywhere and be confident of capturing clear, steady images in both live and recorded video. They calculate motion based on gyroscopic information rather than video content, ensuring great performance in scenes with moving objects. What’s more, they deliver smooth images video even when using telephoto lenses or long zoom lenses, where the impact of vibrations is usually amplified with the zoom level. They even perform well in poor and fading light, especially when combined with Axis Lightfinder and its short exposure time.
Reduced costs
Axis image stabilization technologies keep your footage steady by minimizing the effects of vibrations. This reduces bitrate, helping minimize bandwidth and storage requirements. And because these technologies eliminate concerns about wind or the stability of mounting poles, you’re free to mount your camera exactly where you need it, allowing for cost-effective installations. So, there’s no need to tailor your solutions for extra stability; you’ll always capture steady video while saving time, money, and effort.
