Shame they don't support even rtsp...
I wonder how how long it will take for someone to unlock them, it's only Linux..

I don't see the value in this line. You're essentially paying for the name. I don't see these bringing any more value than any low priced competitors (ex: Hik or Dahua) And being that it's "made in China" all of the die hard "Made in the USA" fans argument goes away.
I would always recommend Hik over these when the customer doesn't need high end features.
Just my thoughts,

People are voting this up simply because it's Axis. If this was any other MFG it would be ridiculed. Crippled, overpriced, knee-jerk reaction to Hik and Dahua. This isn't a real competitor. It's desperation.

While I applaud Axis for finally trying something, it may be too little too late. Hikvision Gold and Platinum Partners are given a 5-year warranty - 12 months, no hassle over the counter exchange from ADI and the rest is shipped to California.
I saw some posts earlier about Axis and their RMA procedure. If they are serious about competing with Hik and Dahua, they should step up their customer support as well.

Here is a picture of the new Axis companion IR dome, it is not as big as it appears in the marketing photo above.
On the other hand, it is definitely still significantly bigger than equivalent Chinese integrated IR cameras with the ring of IR LEDs. Axis says this provides better performance, something we will be including in future tests.

Won't look past this article about them.

I think if Axis will start a (Price) war with Chinese vendors they can only lose.
HIKVISION will grab their business and hurt them more and more!
HD Analog is fine but the future is IP.
This is my oppinion and I did not say they will kill them ;-)

Waste of time of productuon and marketing dollars. Dont try to compete at a level you cant compete at. Focus more on differentiating product features at a product level you can compete with.

Voting results. While overall members are split somewhat evenly among the options, integrators and manufacturers disagree.
~40% of manufacturers voted this very attractive but only ~20% of integrators did.
In this case, I suspect integrators have a better feel for the demand / competitive issues for small business, and therefore interpret it as a negative sign for Axis.

I'm mixed on this, I use Axis for their features and ability to integrate with many platforms. What the heck will I be getting with this new line, and other than wanting an Axis name brand sticker on a low end chinese camera?

Btw, the NVR is also a wireless access point.

Interesting the Integrators that tout HIK and bemoan Axis for "competing" with HIK for the low end market. A true Integrator wouldn't have a problem selling the value of higher priced and higher quality products across the board, not just video. We have a saying where I work...."if you can't speak to the features, functionality and benefits of what you have quoted, then you can only talk about price."
Obviously many who sell security sell at the bottom of the heap. Yes, you can find HIK at ADI, Walmart, and Supercircuits, but you won't see Axis on the open market. Didn't see any comments on that one. I'll stand with Brian above and his take from an Axis employee.
