Axis should have released this camera with both options (operable with or without PTZ) from the start. The first model released, along with the requirement to own or buy a separate PTZ, caused mass confusion.
Axis 360 Panoramic Released
Published Oct 13, 2015 04:00 AM
Last year, Axis entered the multi-imager camera market but, unfortunately, the only way to get it was to mount it on top of an Axis PTZ.
Now, 6 months after announcing a 180-degree 33MP multi-imager, Axis has rectified their initial multi-imager shortcoming, now releasing a 'solo' 360 multi-imager camera.
In this note, we look at its features, pricing, and competitive positioning compared to Arecont and Hikvision.

What does Axis mean by "Released" in this context?
