Axis should integrate the laser to help determine perspective of objects for video analytics. This would eliminate shadows and lights as a cause of false events and make the analytics more accurate. As for IR illumination, integrated laser based distance could adjust the illumination to the proper level to light objects correctly.

Wondering what technique they use to avoid reading backscatter from their own illuminators.
Maybe pulsed IR?
