AXIS Zipstream technology preserves all the important forensic detail you need, while lowering bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50% or more.

Unlike most compression technology, Zipstream doesn’t just limit bitrate. Instead, three kinds of intelligent algorithms ensure that relevant forensic information is identified, recorded and sent in full resolution and at full frame rate.

In other words, our proprietary Dynamic ROI, Dynamic GOP and Dynamic FPS work together in real-time to preserve faces, tattoos or license plate numbers and more.

The result? With Zipstream, you keep the resolution and the frame rate, and still store a whole lot less. So you save space – and money – without sacrificing valuable information.

Codec is an amalgam of the words compression & decompression. Compression is the process of reducing bandwidth and storage consumption.

Because each frame of recorded video contains many of the pixels that were in the previous frame, codecs compress video by only recording the pixels that changed between frames thereby reducing bandwidth consumption and processing power.

We guarantee that if any of the tasks included in the FREE connection aren’t performed correctly, i.e. programming of communication tasks, testing of alarm communications to the monitoring centre, 5 user codes and entry and exit delay, that we’ll return to site and rectify the fault free of charge.

Category: Service

If you can’t supply the installer code the panel will need to be defaulted, i.e. to erase its system settings. When we do this some of the previous functionality may no longer exist. This is because programming was erased at default and the system is being reprogrammed from scratch. We allocate 1 hour of FREE time to complete this task. If it takes longer than 1 hour charges will apply.

Category: Service

We can compile one for you using our best efforts. This means that we’ll determine what detection devices are attached to the security system and their location. The time taken to do this is included in the 1 hour of free time included in any free connection. If it takes longer than 1 hour we’ll advise and charges will apply.

Category: Service

Free connection is limited to the programming of the existing alarm system to the monitoring centre and includes:

 1. Programming of communication tasks so that the system communicates to the Monitoring Centre

 2. Testing of alarm communications to the Monitoring Centre

 3. 5 user codes

 4. Entry & exit delay

We estimate that this work shall take no longer than 1 hour. FREE connection does not include installation or configuration of any app/s.

We recommend that you provide unrestricted access to the alarm system and any detection devices on connection day, i.e. remove anything obstructing access to doors & roller shutters. Remove pallets on racking that may be masking detectors.
