Axis Communications expands product portfolio
The first air quality sensor from Axis Communications detects air pollutants and helps companies improve indoor air quality.
Axis Communications, technology leader in the field of network video, is launching a completely new product category: environmental sensors for measuring various health and safety-related parameters. It all starts with the AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor, a cost-effective air quality sensor for measuring indoor air quality.
The AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor is an air quality sensor that can monitor various indoor air quality parameters: It detects aerosol vapor produced by e-cigarettes ("vaping"), cigarette smoke and various air pollutants, including pollen, particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). It can also measure relative humidity and temperature in the range from -10 to 45 degrees Celsius and, in combination with other Axis-devices can trigger automatic reactions in real time when certain predefined threshold values are exceeded.
Flexibility in installation and use
This is made possible by the Portcast technology from Axis. It allows the sensor to be seamlessly integrated into selected existing network solutions from Axis - including around half of the currently available Axis-network cameras - without the need for additional IP addresses, switch ports or power connections. For example, it is possible to additionally display air quality parameters in the image section of a connected network camera or issue a warning message via a loudspeaker to indicate poor air quality.
For more flexibility in placement, the sensor can be placed up to 100 meters away from the network device or power source. As the sensor and connected device share the same IP address, they can also be easily configured and managed simultaneously. In this way, the functionality of existing Axis-devices and create a flexible end-to-end solution for measuring indoor air quality.
A lever for long-term improvements
In addition to improving indoor air quality, companies can also use the AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor to document their compliance with regulatory requirements. In addition, they can adapt their ventilation and heating strategy to save energy costs and reduce their environmental footprint. In combination with other data sets, this will allow them to plan and implement smart building initiatives more effectively in the long term.
