This Axis positioning IP camera is mounted onto a high-performance pan-tilt motor for precise navigation across outdoor scenes. It delivers reliable and accurate security monitoring in locations subject to smoke, haze or fog.
Overview of the Axis Q8642-E PT
This advanced thermal IP camera by Axis offers thermal imaging in 640 x 480 resolution that can be scaled up to 800 x 600. It delivers reliable and accurate security surveillance in locations that are often in complete darkness or subject to smoke, haze or fog. The camera is also mounted onto a high-performance pan-tilt motor for precise navigation across wide outdoor scenes. Additional features include onboard MicroSD storage and support for Axis Zipstream technology.
When installed onto a column, wall or pole, this positioning IP camera can deliver a full 360° unobstructed field of view and a ‘ground to sky’ 135° tilt. Jerk-free, variable pan/tilt movements (0.05°/s to 120°/s) allow users to navigate quickly and precisely across large scenes to a specific area of interest – ensuring all activity is captured.
The unit’s IP66-rated aluminium housing allows it to be safely deployed in outdoor locations and cold start-up ensures continuous operation in temperatures as low as -40°C. Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) technology is also included which helps to reduce the effects of camera movement from vibrations or harsh weather conditions.
Various video motion detection alarms can be configured to help enhance security monitoring. Users can also be made aware of possible vandalism attempts thanks to the unit’s integrated shock detection technology which triggers an alert if the camera is subject to impact. Ideal for mission-critical applications, thermal imaging cameras are less sensitive to shadows and challenging light conditions which allows them to achieve high accuracy with fewer false alarms when compared to non-thermal network cameras.
Axis Zipstream is included to help lower bandwidth and storage levels by an average of up to 50%. This advanced technology optimises the video stream in real-time, allowing important details to be retained while unnecessary data is removed. In addition, recordings can be stored locally to the on-board MicroSD card (not included) and used as a backup if the network fails.
