Axis network cameras make full use of the new capabilities of Windows XP

Axis, which is taking part in the launch in the eXPerience pavilion, will demonstrate that Windows XP, with its built-in support for UPnP, makes it even easier for Axis network camera users to administrate the devices over networks. Microsoft frequently uses Axis network cameras to demonstrate the operating system because the products clearly show the benefits of the UPnP in the Windows XP operating system. "Microsoft is pleased that Axis Communications is enhancing the Windows XP experience by offering UPnP-supported network cameras to our customers," said Shawn Sanford, group product manager for Windows XP at Microsoft Corp. "The combination of Windows XP and Axis network cameras will elevate the network integration capabilities of Windows XP." Axis is an established member of the steering committee of the Universal Plug and Play Forum (UPnP). The UPnP Forum aims to create new standards for networkedproducts in order to simplify use and integration. All product and company names herein may be trademark of their registered owners.
