Part of the cutting-edge ‘Q’ series by Axis and equipped with Axis’ latest chipset, the Q1656-DLE combines two sophisticated technologies (radar and video-based detection) in a single camera, requiring only one IP address and VMS licence but providing double the detection intelligence. Ideal for intrusion detection, this powerful outdoor camera captures video in 4MP resolution at up to 60 frames per second (fps), allowing it to effectively differentiate and classify objects in scenes with high levels of activity, especially in areas of low illumination. The unit’s deep-learning analytics capabilities are augmented by high-power radar detection and analytics, offering early identification of objects that are then confirmed by Axis Object Analytics (AOA) when the object moves nearer to the camera. The optics and radar are completely aligned, allowing earlier and more accurate detection and greater scene awareness. Furthermore, the built-in radar adds another dimension to object analysis with on-screen speed and distance measuring, enabling the identification of suspicious behaviours such as running or loitering.
Camera
Setting the required viewing angle is important to deliver the best possible surveillance. This camera features a varifocal lens that can be adjusted at installation and benefits from a horizontal viewing angle of 44° - 96°. The unit can detect objects with little to no light, thanks to its integrated OptimisedIR and white light LEDs that illuminate the field of view up to 38m and 18m respectively, and which work alongside the automatic IR-cut filter to improve video capture and object detection in complete darkness (radar detection extends beyond this up to 90m). Unique and powerful, this camera’s aluminium casing is IP66-rated and highly robust for use in harsh weather conditions and temperatures of -40 °C to 60 °C. The included weather shield also protects the lens from sun glare or rain droplets that could obscure the camera’s view. Furthermore, the unit’s deep learning processing unit (DLPU) not only provides precise analytics on both radar telemetry and video but also fortifies the camera against data breaches with built-in cybersecurity features. Axis Edge Vault automatically identifies and authorises new devices during installation and protects the device ID and certificates directly on the camera, whilst signed firmware, signed video and secure boot protect the camera from unauthorised or modified code and ensures no harmful data or application is installed on the device.
Imaging
Able to provide accurate and responsive monitoring 24 hours a day, the Axis Q1656-DLE is equipped with a variety of advanced imaging technologies to provide the best possible video quality and analytics in a range of conditions. Equipped with Axis’ most advanced light-optimising technology, Lightfinder 2.0, the camera utilises high sensitivity and tuned image processing to produce full-colour footage in extremely low light, ideal for identifying forensic details when light levels are low. Strongly backlit footage is optimised using Forensic WDR, an advanced technology that ensures details in both light and dark areas can be seen clearly. Optimised for motion, Forensic WDR also reduces artefacts and noise that can obscure video captured in areas of high activity. Furthermore, the privacy of individuals in the camera view can be safeguarded using privacy masking. Privacy masking anonymises a predefined area of the video stream but still allows activity to be seen.
Video analytics
Fitted with Axis’ innovative ARTPEC-8 chipset, a DLPU, and a high-power radar detector, the Axis Q1656-DLE can deliver the most precise and dynamic object detection seen in cameras from Axis to date. Axis Object Analytics (AOA) intelligently detects and classifies moving objects in real time by analysing the spatial behaviour of the objects for more accurate detection with fewer false alerts. In addition to the radar’s long-range detection and speed/distance measurement capabilities, it also features multi-directional zones and crossline detection to identify individuals moving in the wrong direction or crossing into a restricted area. The radar can also be used separately to guide and control external Axis PTZ cameras i.e. when an object is detected by the radar, it triggers the PTZ to initiate recording or Autotracking. AOA and radar can be used simultaneously to trigger events such as announcements over a network speaker, floodlight activation, alarm activation or SD card recording, among many other actions – combining effective early warnings and detailed monitoring for the best possible surveillance. Furthermore, the camera can also be used on roads or in car parks to keep track of vehicle speed and vehicle identification, with support for Axis Speed Monitor and Axis Licence Plate Verifier.
Video management
A data backup can be saved to the onboard SD card (not included) to safeguard footage in the event of network failure and allow the camera to function as a standalone system. In installations with up to 16 cameras, video can be managed and remotely accessed for free via the Axis Companion Application, however, if the system exceeds 16 cameras or requires more in-depth management, a licence can be purchased for Axis Camera Station or Milestone XProtect.
Installation
Designed for straightforward installation, this robust camera can be wall mounted straight out of the box, with mounting accessories included, and a range of installation aids such as remote zoom and focus, remote back focus, levelling assistant and pixel counter, simplify set up and reduce the need for hands-on fine-tuning and dedicated installation devices. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support offers a streamlined and cost-effective solution to power and network connection by delivering both over a single cable, whilst support for power redundancy between DC power and PoE allows the camera to carry on working if the PoE connection or DC power drops. Moreover, the unit is IK08-rated for protection against up to 5 joules of impact – ideal for placement in areas prone to debris or tampering.
