Axis Communications

Axis Q1615 Mk II and AXIS Q1615-E Mk II

The indoor AXIS Q1615 Mk II and the outdoor Axis Q1615-E Mk II are the first IP cameras with an intelligent i-CS lens, which can directly exchange information with the camera via open protocol. This allows for an easier setup of electronic image stabilization (EIS) and barrel distortion correction (BDC), reducing the time needed for setup and cutting down difficulty related to installation. The solution’s feature scene profiles enable the installer to select between traffic overview, forensic or live profile and provides HDTV 1080p video at frame rates of up to 50/60 fps or HDTV 720p video at frame rates of up to 100/120 fps.

AMF-Bruns of America

Smartfloor Hide-Away

Transit systems have been challenged to find securement systems flexible in accommodating both wheelchair and non-wheelchair passengers. The solution: AMF Brun’s Smartfloor Hide-A-Way wheelchair securement system. The Smartfloor Hide-A-Way is the industry’s only wheelchair securement system in which the retractors are fully-integrated into the floor — freeing up valuable floor space and increasing passenger capacity. Passenger seats, which fold up, can be installed directly over the concealed retractor system. The product meets ISO 10542 safety requirements.
