In addition to improved efficiency, AXIS T8415 provides installers with a powerful battery that last the whole day", says Erik Frännlid, Axis' Director of Product Management. "AXIS T8415 focuses on solving two specific problems: the speed and ease of installation of an IP camera."

AXIS T8415 is a battery-powered handheld device that connects directly to a camera and displays live video at the installation site.

With its powerful battery, AXIS T8415 can power up an Axis PoE camera up to 30 W for several hours. The tools built-in Wi-Fi function connects it within seconds to an installer's smartphone or tablet so the camera's live view can be accessed in a convenient manner. While the camera is mounted and connected via one-cable connection to the main unit, the installer can get close to the camera with a smartphone device and adjust basic camera functions, such as focus, IP address and image rotation. The app on the smartphone (iOS or Android) can be downloaded free-of-charge from the App Store or Google Play.
