Smart buildings combine technology with data and the ability for existing building systems to communicate with one another. The result of this new integration is a smoother, more synchronized environment that operates with increased safety and efficiency. Axis technology is designed with this kind of integration in mind, so our IP video and audio solutions can be central components. It also works beautifully with partner video management software, perfect for smart building installation, when complex networks are coupled with advanced functionality requirements.

Efficiently run structures are a core component of contributing to a sustainable society within the smart city eco system. Improved connectivity and data analysis significantly enhance a building’s ability to run optimally for both occupants and the planet. For example, smart lighting and heating systems can have a direct impact on the building’s energy consumption, as it is only triggered when a person enters a particular area or during certain times of day. In fact, each area of a building is unique in the way that it benefits from smart building technology and contributes to improved sustainability. Axis products are designed and built with this in mind, ensuring that a building runs more intuitively and effortlessly.

With AI-based analytics you can detect, classify, track, and count objects, it gives easy access to actionable insights, so you can make more informed decisions. Thanks to AI-based classification, you can focus only on objects of interest and events that need attention, making your monitoring more effective. AXIS Object Analytics comes preinstalled on compatible Axis network cameras at no extra cost. Edge-based, it processes and analyzes live video directly on the camera, eliminating the need for costly servers.

AXIS Site Designer is an intuitive tool that simplifies your design and quotation workflow, making projects faster and easier to create, revise or implement. Efficiently manage any project—whether you need to create a system with thousands of Axis devices connected to it, or just a few.

The rise of smart technology provides facilities managers with a high level of automated control across a building. Whether optimizing and controlling a building’s lighting, electrical or security systems, you can achieve benefits ranging from reduced operational costs to increased energy efficiency. Being able to expand and scale step-by-step as your needs grow is key. Consider the role of access control, and the core function it holds within a smart buildings infrastructure.

IoT technology, post-pandemic concerns around health and safety and improved connectivity are some of the factors that has been driving the rise of smart buildings.

Open technology platforms are a giant leap towards building truly smart buildings. It has been a slow start but now things are starting to pick up speed.

Commercial buildings which use smart technologies are essentially an ecosystem of connected systems which aim to operate for the enjoyment, security, safety and comfort of users on your premises.
