AXIS Q61-E

According to September 2017, the family of the original AXIS Q61-E dome rotary IP camcorders, which are distinguished among analogues using Sharpdome technology with a 360 ° synchronous dome rotation mechanism and PTZ module, replenished the Q6115-E model, designed to work at -50 - + 50 ° C. This PTZ video camera is equipped with a 2-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 30x transfocator, forms a full HD image at 60 k/s, supports Lightfinder, WDR technologies with Dynamic Capture and IES to improve video quality, as well as the Speed ​ ​ Dry dome self-cleaning system. In addition, the new PTZ model is powered by High PoE technology, has an impact sensor and intelligent security functions.

Reliable operation of the video camera in the range of external temperatures from -50 to + 50 ° C and air humidity up to 100% is provided by a well-thought-out housing structure made in accordance with the protection classes IP66/IK08. In addition, to prevent icing of the movable dome at low temperatures, this PTZ video camera is equipped with a heated sealing ring silicon ring. Thanks to this, the Q6115-E can be used for year-round monitoring at airports, open sports facilities, industrial enterprises, etc. At the same time, the power supply of the Q6115-E electronics and its PTZ platform can be organized using High PoE technology through a 1-port midspan included in the supply.

The unique design of the video camera dome, which is not static, but synchronously rotates with the video module (Sharpdome technology) provides additional capabilities on a number of objects. In particular, such an innovation allows to achieve high quality video without optical distortion in all positions of pan and tilt, due to the fact that the distance between the dome plate and the lens remains unchanged. In addition, this PTZ video camera performs detailed video shooting without lubrication at viewing angles 20 ° above the horizon level, which could not be obtained from models with a fixed dome. It is worth noting that a wide range of attachment accessories, unified for most PTZ models AXIS, provides for Q6115-E many options for installation on site.

For stable operation of the video camera in adverse weather conditions, a new Speed Dry technology has been used, which provides quick cleaning of the dome surface from water drops in the most effective way today - high-frequency vibration of the dome. When Speed Dry, PTZ is activated, the video camera mechanically breaks the surface tension of water droplets, as a result of which they quickly flow down. The digital image stabilization system (EIS), which compensates for the "jitter" of the picture during the physical vibrations of the PTZ mechanism, provides consistently high video quality when Speed Dry is working or when shooting in windy weather.

Support for full HD resolution, 30x optical zoom, and high speed pan/tilt allows these cameras to be used for video monitoring of large areas and to obtain images of deleted objects with a high degree of detail. It is important that the PTZ video camera is able to broadcast several independent video streams on the network in M-JPEG and H.264 formats (including the High Profile profile) with a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. and a 60 k/s frame, and for video shooting in difficult light conditions with lighting up to 0.2/0.02 lx, this PTZ model uses day/night modes, Lightfinder proprietary technology, as well as an expanded dynamic range (WDR) up to 130 dB with Dynamic Capture.

The wide speed range of the swivel-tilt mechanism of the new AXIS video camera varies from 0.05 °/s to 700 and 500 °/s. To simplify the operator's work, programming is provided for up to 256 preset positions, one patrol round and initial coordinates, to which the PTZ video camera will return in the absence of activity in its area of ​ ​ responsibility. In addition, the PTZ novelty mechanism can translate the video module into a motion zone (Active Gatekeeper function), accompanying the moving object, and provide autorouting at the lower point of the trajectory (Nadir flip) to correctly orient the image on the monitor screen.

AXIS Q6114-E

Axis Communications released the Q6114-E dome rotary IP cameras in August 2015, which differ from their counterparts using the innovative Sharpdome technology with a 360 ° synchronous rotation mechanism of the dome and video module. The new rotary CCTV cameras have a 30x transfocator, IP66/NEMA 4X protection classes, Speed Dry self-cleaning function and are operational at temperatures up to -40 ° C. They form a high-quality color/black-and-white image in H.264/M-JPEG with an HDTV resolution of 720p and a 60 k/s frame at illuminations up to 0.15/0.008 lx. In addition, these surveillance cameras support Lightfinder and WDR technologies up to 130 dB with Dynamic Capture.

Protection of the chamber against external influences (climatic and mechanical) complies with IP66/IK08 standards, and its operating temperature range varies from -40 to + 50 ° C when power is supplied through a 60 W midspan using High PoE technology. In addition, rotary CCTV cameras have extensive security functionality, which includes the function of automatic tracking of mobile objects, recording of shocks and other unauthorized impacts on the body, and can also work with intelligent applications loaded through the AXIS Camera Application Platform. Unlike many models for outdoor video surveillance, the Q6114-E is equipped with an SDHC/SDXC slot for a memory card with a capacity of up to 64 GB.

The innovative dome design of the rotary camera and the implementation of complex mechanisms for its synchronous rotation with the video module (Sharpdome) make it possible to achieve a high-quality image without optical distortion in all positions of pan and tilt, since the distance between the transparent dome and the lens never changes. Moreover, such a design allows a clear image of objects 20 degrees above the horizon level, which makes rotary surveillance cameras a universal video monitoring tool on rough terrain. For example, AXIS Q6114-E is optimally suited for video surveillance of all levels of the stadium arena, city squares, etc.

The transmission of detailed HDTV 720p (1280x720 pics) image at 60 k/s and the possibility of 30 times optical magnification is implemented on the basis of a megapixel 1/3-inch CMOS sensor, DSP processor and 4.3-129 mm transfocator. In addition, the new rotary cameras are able to broadcast several independently configurable video streams in the M-JPEG and H.264 formats (including High Profile). Efficient operation with highly variable illumination, rotary CCTV cameras provide high sensitivity up to 0.15 and 0.008 lx in day/night modes, Lightfinder proprietary technology, as well as expanded to 130 dB dynamic range (WDR) with Dynamic Capture. Thanks to this functionality, the Q6114-E is able to perform video surveillance in difficult light conditions.

Quick cleaning of the surface of the dome of the rotary chamber from drops of water or snow is carried out using Speed Dry technology, which is by far the most effective. Speed Dry activates high frequency vibration of the water repellent dome, mechanically destroying the surface tension of the water, as a result of which the drops simply flow down. To compensate for vibrations arising from active Speed Dry or from external influences, for example, wind gusts, rotary surveillance cameras use a digital image stabilization system (EIS). Moreover, for stable street video surveillance, the novelties are equipped with a heated silicone ring that does not allow icing of the base of the movable dome.

One of the most compact and fast in the AXIS line, the Q6114-E camera is equipped with a rotating platform that allows you to adjust pan and tilt speeds in the range from 0.05 °/s to 700 and 500 °/s. To simplify the operator's work, these rotary CCTV cameras provide programming up to 256 preset positions, allow you to set up a patrol tour and set the coordinates to which the video module will return when there is no activity in the frame for a given time. It should be noted that the PTZ module of the new camera turns the camera unit at the lower point of the trajectory (Nadir flip), allowing the operator of the video surveillance system to track the direction of movement of objects on the monitor screen with the correct orientation.

AXIS Q6000-E

ARMO-Systems introduced in April 2015 Q6000-E street cameras with a 360 ° view, the design of which provides integration with any AXIS rotary model of the Q60-E family with the control of its PTZ functions along with panoramic video shooting. The novelties have a thermowell with protection classes IP66 and IK10 and are operable at temperatures up to -30 ° C. Each panoramic camera is equipped with four CMOS sensors and generates several video streams in H.264/M-JPEG with a resolution of up to HDTV 720p at 25 k/s. In addition, the Q6000-E supports ONVIF (S), High PoE power technology and third-party analytics through ACAP, has a slot for 64 GB of memory card and a service port.

The Q6000-E provides a simple and fast installation of the AXIS street PTZ camera from the Q60-E family, which is located in the panoramic model case without the use of any special mounting brackets and accessories. At the same time, to directly connect to the network and simplify configuration and configuration, the panoramic camera has its own network connector. This integration results in a hybrid camera that can be viewed 360 degrees and simultaneously view any portion of the scene in the desired approximation.

The intelligent functions of the Q6000-E allow it to detect movement in areas of interest of the panoramic picture and quickly respond to events that have an alarm status, in particular attempts to damage the camera body. At the same time, the panoramic camera can use the functions of third-party video analytics through ACAP support, and administration and management of the novelty can be carried out using any ONVIF-compatible software, including AXIS Camera Station. At the same time, you can use an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card with a capacity of up to 64 GB to record alarm video, as well as before and after-alarm frames.

The full-fledged panoramic image of the Q6000-E forms using four 2-megapixel CMOS sensors, video from which processes and collects a powerful processor into a single picture. Receiving such an image, the operator can video monitor the situation on an object with an area of ​ ​ up to 20,000 sq.m., which has been compared with the area of ​ ​ four football fields. At the same time, for targeted video shooting of remote sections of the scene, the panoramic camera allows using the PTZ functionality of the AXIS Q60-E camera, which is equipped with a high-precision rotary mechanism and a transfocator with an optical zoom from 30 to 36 crats (depending on the model).

The Q6000-E user interface and the enhanced online video viewing capabilities of the control software can improve the efficiency of video monitoring with quick access to both panoramic and zoomed images. Thus, the panoramic camera allows you to initiate the rotation and zoom functions of the PTZ camera controlled by it in one click, so as not to miss a single important part, such as, for example, the license plate of a car at distances up to 300 meters. If necessary, the panoramic image from Q6000-E can be divided into 4 parts and viewed each in a separate window.

Protection of electronics and optics is provided by the aluminum body of the panoramic chamber with a transparent polycarbonate insert, which corresponds to the vandal protection class IK10, i.e. withstands significant mechanical loads and direct impacts. For uninterrupted operation in street conditions, the Q6000-E, as well as the Q60-E series AXIS cameras integrated into them, meet the requirements of the IP66 standard and can be operated in open areas. At the same time, the range of operating temperatures in which the panoramic camera provides all the declared parameters is from -30 to + 50 degrees Celsius.

AXIS Q3505-VE

At the beginning of 2015, AXIS Communications included Q3505-VE dome type network video cameras that have a vandalized enclosure with IK10 protection class and can perform video shooting on the street at -40 ° C - + 60 ° C. Using a 2.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 3-9 mm or 9-22 mm lens with remote focus and zoom adjustment, street video cameras form an image with a full HD resolution at 50 k/s in day/night modes with a minimum illumination of up to 0.04 lx. It is worth noting that the Q3505-VE implements the functions of WDR Forensic Capture and Lightfinder, uses P-Iris diaphragm control to achieve optimal depth of sharpness and contrast of the image in street conditions, supports power technology PoE and there is a slot for a microSD/SDHC/SDXC memory card.

The network capabilities of the video camera provide multi-stream video broadcasting with Full HD resolution and a frame of up to 50 k/s, as well as with a maximum resolution of 2.3 MP (1920x1200 pixels.) At 25 k/s. At the same time, street video cameras can be configured individually with the choice of M-JPEG and/or H.264 codecs (before High Profile) and bitrate (VBR/MBR). High image quality in a wide range of Q3505-VE illuminations is provided using the Lightfinder and WDR Forensic Capture (120 dB) branded functions, and the electronic image stabilization system based on a gyroscope and special, ON which is necessary for street, compensates for the "jitter" of the picture in vibration conditions. video surveillances

The vandalized camera thermocouple provides a high degree of protection against mechanical damage in accordance with class IK10, so the Q3505-VE can be operated in urban video surveillance, video control systems at stations and airports, i.e. where intentional damage to video equipment is not excluded. Among the analogues, new street video cameras stand out with an expanded range of operating temperatures, the lower limit of which reaches -40 ° C, and the upper - + 60 ° C, as well as the tightness of the case, increased to the level of IP67. For street video, the Q3505-VE also includes a sun visor.

The video camera can be supplied with a 3-9 mm or 9-22 mm megapixel variofocal lens with viewing angles of 105-35 ° (F1.3 )/33-16 ° (F1.6) and IR correction. Depending on the optics used, these two Q3505-VE modifications differ in day/night photosensitivity, which is 0.18/0.04 lx and 0.28/0.06 lx, respectively. After installation on the site, street video cameras allow you to focus the variable lens and adjust the image quality remotely from a network PC. At the same time, new street devices support P-Iris diaphragm control and are able to automatically determine the level of the horizon for correct positioning of the image.

You can choose video shooting parameters, alarm event response algorithms and other options of the Q3505-VE video camera using the AXIS Camera Companion free proprietary software designed for servicing up to 16 IP devices, or using the paid Camera Station program or other ONVIF-compatible software. At the same time, all AXIS street video cameras provide remote access to video from a PC or from mobile devices. Restriction of access to street camera settings and videos is carried out by the password system, as well as the use of the IEEE 802.1X protocol, HTTPS signal encoding and IP address filtering.

To supply power to the new video cameras, PoE technology and free wires of the network cable are used. This power scheme simplifies and reduces the cost of installing video surveillance devices. However, the Q3505-VE street video cameras allow you to use the optional AXIS T8051 energy converter, through which they can be powered from 12 V DC/24 V AC sources. To alert the operator about the impact on the body or dome of the street model, there is a shock detector that will detect the impact and generate an alarm message, and the current and/or alarm video can be recorded on an embedded memory card of the microSD/SDHC/SDXC format.

2014

AXIS Q3505-V

AXIS Communications released in November 2014 the Q3505-V compact dome IP cameras for video monitoring in unstable lighting rooms. The novelties use a sensitive CMOS matrix, implemented day/night mode and branded technologies WDR Forensic Capture and Lightfinder. Q3505-V come with a 3-9/9-22 mm lens, support P-Iris diaphragm control, have a sensitivity of up to 0.18/0.04 lx and form an image with a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 pixels., broadcasting Full HD video with a frame rate of up to 50 k/s. At the same time, AXIS cameras are equipped with a vandalized case with an IK10/IP52, have a slot for a memory card microSD/SDHC/SDXC and are equipped with AXIS Camera Companion software for configuration and control.

The anti-vandal design of the Q3505-V complies with the IK10 class and guarantees a high level of camera protection against direct mechanical impacts. At the same time, to notify the operator about the impact on the body or dome, there is a shock detector that will detect the impact and generate an alarm message. Thanks to the increased operational parameters, AXIS cameras will be the optimal choice for video surveillance in specially guarded premises of airports, stations or industrial enterprises, and will be able to be used in contaminated industries, since they have protection against dust and moisture IP52. When any alarm event is committed, these AXIS IP devices activate video recording on the microSD/SDHC/SDXC format memory card.

The proprietary WDR Forensic Capture (120 dB), combined with Lightfinder technology, provides high-quality video from the Q3505-V in the complex light conditions of a guarded object. Using WDR, cameras transmit a brightness and contrast balanced image when video shooting scenes that include both dark and interspersed areas, and Lightfinder technology allows you to achieve high detail of the image when there is a lack of lighting. At the same time, AXIS cameras are able to smoothly move from video processing in WDR mode to Lightfinder, erasing the visual border for the operator. It is worth noting that AXIS Q3505-V implements an image stabilization system (EIS) based on a gyroscope and special software, which significantly improves the quality of the picture when the camera operates in vibrations.

The detailed image of fast moving objects of the camera is broadcast with Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels.) At a flow speed of up to 50 k/s, and video in WDR mode and/or at maximum WUXGA resolution (1920x1200 pixels.) Is transmitted only with a 25 k/s frame rate. Like most IP devices, AXIS cameras use H.264 High Profile and M-JPEG codecs, support multi-stream video transmission, and allow you to configure the H.264 stream bitrate to the bandwidth of the communication channel. In addition to broadcasting the video signal, the AXIS Q3505-V provides bidirectional sound transmission when equipped with a microphone and speaker, and also uses a network cable to obtain power using PoE technology.

You can configure video capture parameters, alarm event response algorithms and other features of the new camera using the free AXIS Camera Companion branded software, designed to service up to 16 IP devices, as well as using the paid Camera Station program or other ONVIF-compatible software. At the same time, remote access to the video that is formed by AXIS cameras is possible through a web browser from a PC or from mobile devices. The password system, IEEE 802.1X support, HTTPS signal encoding from the AXIS camera and IP address filtering can limit access to Q3505-V settings and videos.

Q3505-V is available in two versions, which differ in the optics installed on them - 3-9 mm or 9-22 mm. If the cameras use a lens with focal lengths of 3-9 mm, then their viewing angles will vary from 105 ° to 30 °, and the photosensitivity will be 0.18/0.04 lx, and with a 9-22 mm lens, the viewing angles will narrow to 33 ° - 16 ° and the sensitivity will decrease to 0.28/0.06 lx. At the same time, both AXIS cameras support the setting of focus and zoom over the network, compensation for barrel-shaped distortions of objects that appear at wide viewing angles, can determine the horizon level for correct positioning of the image and allow the operator to change the optical zoom of the lens over the network, as well as automatically when the AXIS Q3505-V operates in Gatekeeper mode.

AXIS Q6045-S

According to July 2014, Q6045-S cameras form full HD video using a highly sensitive 2-megapixel CMOS sensor. At the same time, they operate in day/night modes and have high light sensitivity indices of 0.6/0.04 lx. To solve various video control tasks, these rotary surveillance cameras can broadcast up to 3 individually customizable streams using H.264 and M-JPEG codecs for compression. For remote video surveillance, the Q6045-S AXES are equipped with the T8605 switch, which has 2 SFP slots and provides video, data, and control commands to the rotary device via fiber optic cable.

High protection of the Q6045-S chamber against mechanical effects and aggressive media such as salts, chemicals and hot steam is provided by a stainless steel housing with a strong nylon dome that meets international standards IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X. At the same time, rotary CCTV cameras work stably in the temperature range from -30 to + 50 ° C, and to prevent the formation of condensate inside their housing and create an unflammable medium, nitrogen can be pumped under pressure into them. It is worth noting that these pivot models of the AXIS brand will become an effective video surveillance tool in seaports, oil and gas enterprises and other facilities.

Comprehensive viewing of the monitored object is carried out using a rotary-inclined camera mechanism, which can perform 360 ° rotation of the video module without restrictions and its inclination by 220 ° (20 ° above the horizon level) at a speed of 0.05 to 450 °/s. At the same time, rotary CCTV cameras allow you to set up to 256 preset positions of the video module, as well as support auto-panoramic mode, car gate in the absence of activity in the video surveillance zone for a certain time, patrol tours, etc. Using a 20-fold transfocator with a focal length range of 4.45-89 mm, rotary cameras are able to conduct effective video control at objects with extended territories.

Video and data protection from unauthorized viewing of the CCTV camera is ensured by using the HTTPS encoding protocol, IEEE 802.1X access control, IP address filtering system, IPv6 and other means. When encrypting data within the HTTPS protocol, rotary surveillance cameras provide access to video only to authorized users, and using the IPv6 Q6045-S protocol, they significantly expand the range of available IP addresses and allow each rotary device of the system to be assigned its own unique network address.

The video analytics package pre-installed in the CCTV cameras provides automatic control over the entry and exit of people from the protected area, their crossing of assigned virtual borders, the appearance or disappearance of objects, statistics, etc. New rotary CCTV cameras extend their analytical capabilities by installing additional applications using the AXIS Camera Application Platform. In case of an emergency, the Q6045-S rotary models are able to load alarm frames to the FTP server, send a notification to the HTTP server or email, go to the specified PTZ presets, or activate video recording to the SD memory card. The product line of special equipment of AXIS Communications was supplemented by 2-megapixel PTZ cameras Q6045-S, which are designed for video surveillance at industrial facilities and harmful to humans at external temperatures from -30 to + 50 ° C. The new rotary CCTV cameras are equipped with a stainless steel thermocouple and a transparent nylon dome, corresponding to protection classes IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X and resistant to aggressive environments. In addition, the AXIS Q6045-S use a high-precision swivel mechanism, a 20x transformer and support 2-stream video streaming with full HD resolution at 25 k/s, and are equipped with the AXIS T8605 switch to connect to the network.

2010: AXIS Q60

2010 AXIS Q60 dome rotary IP camera line:

The AXIS Q60 line of IP cameras for December 2010 features three cameras: AXIS Q6032-E, AXIS Q6034 and AXIS Q6034-E.

AXIS Q6032-E is a street network camera with an environmental protection class - IP66. Power is supplied to the Q6032-E mains rotary camera via the High-PoE adapter included with the camera. This simplifies installation because only one cable is required. The Arctic Temperature Control not only enables the Q6032-E dome swivel IP chamber to operate at temperatures up to -40 ° C, but also enables the chamber (for example, after a failure) immediately in street conditions, at low temperatures. A lens is installed on this network camera, providing 35 times optical magnification. The quality of the transmitted image corresponds to a resolution of 720x576 pixels. The Q6032-E camera is ideal for viewing in rough terrain due to the camera's tilt 20 degrees above the horizon. In addition, the rotary IP camera Q6032-E is provided with an automatic tracking function by which the camera can automatically detect a moving object and hold it in the field of view.

The AXIS Q6034 dome swivel IP camera is an internal networking camera with an 18-fold optical zoom and HDTV image (1280x720). Thanks to the Advanced Gatekeeper feature, the Q6034 dome rotary network camera can automatically move to a predetermined position to capture an image, such as a car number or a person's face, when motion is detected in a predetermined area. In addition, the camera can operate in daytime and night mode, ensuring high image quality even at a low level of illumination. Power is supplied to the Q6034 mains rotary chamber via the adapter High-PoE included with the camera. This simplifies installation because only one cable is required. Q6034 high-precision security cameras for use in large rooms - at aircraft, railway stations and stadiums - have 4 alarm inlets/outlets for connecting various external devices to them, including sensors and relays, and an audio motion detector. Separately, it is worth noting the function Gatekeeper ("Watchman"), which provides more complete awareness of the operator of the surveillance system.

The AXIS Q6034-E dome swivel IP camera is a street version of the previous model. The Q6034-E IP camera operates at temperatures up to -40 ° C, with the environmental protection class IP66.
