<h1>Overview</h1>
IVS makes use of <b>Axis Communications, IP-based</b>, cameras.


<dl>
<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>

<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>
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>
</ul>
</dd>
