AXIS Launches Q60-S PTZ Network Dome Cameras For Surveillance And Remote Monitoring Applications
Published on 30 Jan, 2014 The new top-of-the-line AXIS Q60-S PTZ Dome Network Cameras in nitrogen-pressurised stainless steel casings are ideal for surveillance and remote monitoring applications in marine, mining, oil and gas environments, as well as food, medical and clean room manufacturing facilities.

I-View Now Finalizes Hosted Video Partnership Agreement With Axis
[H]ard|Forum Shorehn Gawd, 8.2 Years Status: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I just started my first job as a system administrator. We’ve got Linux servers and Macs in computer labs. I’d like to use this machine to try out KVM virtual machines for our servers, any CPU-intensive tasks I may eventually put on the servers, and possibly video editing software. (We’re looking at Linux and open source equivalents to stuff like Adobe due to budget cutbacks) 2) What’s your budget? Are tax and shipping included? The person I’m replacing claims that they’ll pay for anything "within reason" since they’re used to paying crazy prices for Macs. He said that I should have no trouble at all getting something around $800-1000. I’d like to keep it around that price so there’s enough money in the IT budget for other stuff. 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. Pittsburgh, PA. No Microcenter nearby 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you’ll need. CPU, quiet HSF, motherboard, RAM, case, PSU, optical drive, hard disk (and/or SSD), hot swap bay, thermal paste. 5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model. Keyboard, mouse, monitor, and […]
