Each channel of AXIS F44 supports a 1080p or 720p capture mode and multiple, individually configurable streams. AXIS F44 can operate any combination of the two modes across the channels simultaneously.

A capture mode sets the maximum resolution and frame rate. In the 1080p mode, the maximum resolution is 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) and the maximum frame rate is 12.5/15 frames per second (50/60 Hz). It provides the full viewing angle from a 1080p sensor unit.

In the 720p capture mode, the maximum resolution is 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) and the maximum frame rate is 25/30 frames per second (50/60 Hz). It provides a cropped view for a 1080p sensor unit and the full view for a 720p sensor unit like AXIS F1004.

In either 1080p or 720p mode, AXIS F44 supports quad view streaming, which combines separate views from four sensor units into one for simultaneous viewing. Each scene would take up a quarter of the display area.

AXIS F44 offers WDR – Forensic Capture on all four channels in the 720p capture mode. WDR – Forensic Capture can be activated when connected to an AXIS F Sensor Unit that supports this feature. WDR – Forensic Capture enables a high level of detail to be visible in both very bright and dark areas of a scene. The technology is ideally suited for scenarios such as at entrances, in front of ATMs or in a bus where the subject may be dark against a bright background, or in nighttime situations where the camera must handle low-light environments together with bright lights from vehicles, street lamps, signage and stores. AXIS F44, together with AXIS F Sensor Units, provides color video in light as low as 0.3 lux.

AXIS F44 supports Axis’ Zipstream technology, which is a more efficient implementation of the H.264 video encoder. It can lower bandwidth and storage use by an average of 50% or more for many surveillance scenarios. It ensures that important details are maintained while unnecessary data is removed.
