AXIS ONLINE EVENTS
Axis Online Events: A season of thought-provoking discussion and debate Dominic Jones from Axis Communications reviews the recent programme of online events covering a wide range of industry topics and garnering much attention from partners, customers and prospects alike. When the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to running physical events, it was a natural and exciting step for Axis to launch and host its own Axis Online Events. In the first half of 2021, Axis has brought together key industry speakers alongside Axis’ own experts to discuss in a virtual setting a range of issues and challenges, while also exploring innovative technologies that could be deployed to help. And, of course, if any of the sessions have been missed, all of the Axis Online Events are now available to Watch On Demand providing a mix of presentations, interviews and Q&A sessions. All of the events were very well attended generating many questions for, and much debate among, our panel of experts. If,

The presence of body worn cameras can have a positive effect on deterring antisocial behaviour, while offering an additional layer of protection to those working in an environment where they may feel vulnerable. They can also be used in combination with fixed
surveillance cameras with the benefit of eliminating blind spots in the field of view and providing up-close video evidence. From a technical perspective, this solution is built on open standards and offers easy integration with any video management system (VMS) or evidence management system (EMS), resulting in a versatile, highly scalable solution for operatives on the move. Feedback has been very positive and its popularity has been illustrated by the big uptake in people signing up to view it in the weeks since.
