−	~~<dt>Why Axis Communications?</dt>~~
−	~~{{Flexbox \| left =~~
−	<dd>We standardize on Axis Communications cameras because they deliver <strong>exceptional reliability</strong>, <strong>performance</strong>, and <strong>long-term consistency</strong>. With a comprehensive 5-year hardware warranty, our clients benefit from added peace of mind and reduced lifecycle risk.</dd>

−	~~<br>~~
−	<dd>We have been deploying Axis solutions for years across a wide range of environments, giving us deep, practical experience with their performance in real-world conditions. This long-standing track record allows us to confidently recommend solutions that are proven, stable, and effective.</dd>
−	~~{{hr - 2}}~~
−	~~<dt>Compatibility with VALT</dt>~~
−	~~<dd>Our VALT platform is fully compatible with Axis cameras. Within Axis’s extensive product catalogue, we carefully select and recommend models that meet specific performance criteria.</dd>~~
−	~~<br>~~
−	<dd>One key requirement is {{Mark \| text = support for external audio}}. This serves as an initial filter in our evaluation process, ensuring that the cameras we deploy align with the advanced capabilities and use cases supported by VALT.</dd>
−	~~{{hr - 2}}~~
−	~~<dt>Why IP-based cameras?</dt>~~
