Chowmain has released the Axis IP camera driver for Control4, helping to provide a smarter and safer world by creating solutions for improving security and business performance.

The driver offers live streams on navigator along with PTZ functionality. On top of this, it provides the ability to attach snapshots to Control4 Push Notifications, a 4sight required function. Tie this in with the camera’s motion events and a customer will get notified with an image if the camera detections motion.

The camera also provides live feedback of events which is useful if you want to tie in lighting to motion and other events.

Other features of the driver include the integration of Axis cameras into Control4, the supporting of PTZ and non-PTZ cameras, a live-view camera stream on Control4 interface, PTZ control (up, down, left, right, zoom) and, if an IP camera contains multiple image sensors, you can specify the sensor you want the driver to access.

Lastly, the user can specify the resolution they want the driver to provide to Control4’s UIs as well as also be able to receive events preconfigured in the camera, like motion events.
