Happy Birthday IP Video
In September of 1996, Axis Communications launched the world’s first IP camera at a tradeshow in the U.S. At the time, the camera was intended for Web attraction – but it marked the first step in the shift from analog CCTV to network video, which today makes up an estimated $2.5B of the total surveillance market.

To recognize 15 years of the network camera, Axis invites all ASIS show attendees to a birthday party in its booth #2137 on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 3:30 pm to toast to the past, present, and future of IP video with Martin Gren, Axis co-founder and inventor of the network camera. Attendees can enter to win a signed AXIS M1011 Network Camera and enjoy refreshments while celebrating with the company.
