Overview of the Axis Q3626-VE outdoor dome camera

• Advanced outdoor dome camera with powerful ARTPEC-8 chipset and deep learning analytics.
• Remote PTRZ functionality enables you to set and adjust the camera’s position without needing a dedicated technician, useful when access is difficult
• Equipped for use in harsh weather and tough environments, the camera is IP66 and IK10-rated for outdoor use.
• Full-colour footage is captured in challenging light conditions with Lightfinder 2.0.
• Built with advanced cybersecurity features to safeguard the system.

Part of the Q36-series of outdoor domes, the Q3626-VE is built on Axis’ latest chipset, ARTPEC-8, featuring a DLPU that enables it to make use of powerful AI-based analytics directly on the camera. Pan/tilt/roll/zoom (PTRZ) capabilities enable remote adjustment of the camera’s position, resulting in cost-effective installation, adjustment and maintenance whenever the view needs to be tweaked. Designed to be robust for deployment outdoors, the camera is encased in and IP66- and IK10-rated housing, allowing it to perform well in the harshest of conditions. Ideal for use in construction or logistics, this durable unit is also equipped with cybersecurity features such as Axis Edge Vault to help prevent unauthorised access. Moreover, low light performance is a key feature of this camera as it is packed with advanced imaging technologies such as Forensic WDR and Lightfinder 2.0.

Imaging and Optics

Delivering smooth 4 megapixel resolution video at up to 60fps, this camera is ideal for monitoring fast-moving objects such as vehicles. Setting your desired viewing angle is straightforward with the Q3626-VE’s 4.3 mm - 8.6 mm varifocal lens, allowing you to set the camera’s horizontal view between 103° and 52° and its vertical viewing angle of 56.2° - 29.6°. Engineered for reliability and 24-hour monitoring in a range of conditions, this camera makes use of its advanced imaging technologies to compensate for difficult lighting and produce high-resolution footage. Full-colour video is available in light conditions down to 0.06 lux with Lightfinder 2.0, Axis’ most advanced low-light technology, which offers greater light sensitivity than its predecessor. 3D Noise reduction and Forensic WDR technologies also improve image clarity in difficult lighting conditions. Optimised for motion, Axis Forensic WDR technology also ensures that few motion artefacts are apparent in scenes with high levels of activity. Additionally, electronic image stabilisation (EIS) keeps video smooth when the camera is subject to vibrations.

Video Analytics

Pre-installed on the camera, Axis’ intuitive Object Analytics make use of AI-based algorithms to analyse the scene and filter out unwanted alerts, providing accurate real-time detection and classification of moving objects. You are able to customise your detection and set up to 10 simultaneous detection scenarios such as line crossing, object in area, or occupancy. The camera’s analytic capabilities also provide valuable metadata that enables quick and easy forensic search functions, saving time when further investigation is required. Moreover, the unit’s I/O ports allow audio devices to be connected and facilitate audio detection alerts.

Additional Axis applications and third-party applications are also available to create a tailored solution and expand the camera’s functionality.

Recording and Video Management

Recording and video management options for this camera:

• Axis Camera Station video management software (VMS) offers a unified management system that gets the most benefit from your Axis camera.
• Compatible with all Axis IP devices, Axis Camera Station network video recorders (NVR) enable a single-vendor solution.
• Flexible and scalable, Milestone XProtect (VMS) is the leading open-platform management software.

Installation and mounting options

Built to last in its robust IP66 and IK10 aluminium casing, this camera is designed for straightforward outdoor installation, but in addition to its innovative PTRZ functionality, the unit also benefits from remote zoom and focus, enabling you to easily adjust the viewing angle from a remote location when setting up the camera. Features such as PoE and Zipstream technology help to keep the total cost of ownership down by providing power and network over one cable and optimising bandwidth to reduce storage requirements.

Wall and ceiling mounting is possible out of the box, however, an additional accessory is required for pole mounting:

• Axis T91B47 pole mounting bracket
