| <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>

| <dt>Why IP-based cameras?</dt>
| |
| IP-based cameras provide a modern, flexible foundation for high-performance video systems:
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| <dd>
| |
| <ul>
| |
| <li><strong>Precision Control:</strong> Direct API integration enables seamless control of PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for responsive and accurate positioning.</li>
| |
| {{hr - 2}}
| |
| <li><strong>Optimized Streaming:</strong> Cameras deliver pre-encoded video and audio streams, enabling efficient bandwidth usage without compromising quality.</li>
| |
| {{hr - 2}}
| |
| <li><strong>Scalable Architecture:</strong> Native format compatibility reduces system overhead, allowing us to support up to 50 cameras per server while maintaining consistent performance.</li>
