Now, Axis is announcing their first camera with Z-Wave built in, the M5065, a "palm-sized" PTZ which may be integrated with four wireless devices to trigger events and control connected devices.
But is Z-Wave a good idea for IP cameras? Is Axisearly or just making a mistake?
In this note, we look at the features of this new model, its potential applications, competitive options, and future outlook.
