AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera is a high performance camera for professional surveillance and remote monitoring. It combines a high quality color camera with the flexibility of remote pan/tilt/zoom operations. The 18x optical motorized lens with auto focus allows the user to zoom in on a small or distant object with exceptional clarity.

Mandatory CCTV Cameras In Pubs

Britain already has one-fifth of the world’s CCTV cameras and an average person in the UK is caught on camera hundreds of times a day. And now, if police get their way, we’ll be filmed going in and out of our local pubs.

Nick Gibson is attempting to re-open The Draper’s Arms on Barnsbury Street, a former Evening Standard pub of the year winner that shut its doors last August. But to regain a licence, he’s been told he must fit CCTV cameras that capture the head and shoulders of everyone entering the pub, and be willing to hand over footage whenever the police ask for it.
