New indoor, outdoor PTZ domes

May 2014 Surveillance

Axis Communications has upgraded its line Axis Q60 PTZ Dome Network Camera Series for improved image quality, light sensitivity and enhanced capacity for intelligent video.

The series, which includes indoor, outdoor ready (-E) and active cooling enclosure (-C) models – now features nine new robust, high-speed pan/tilt/zoom cameras for wide area surveillance in indoor, outdoor and desert-like environments.

These PTZ dome IP cameras are ideal for city and perimeter surveillance, airports, train stations and harbours, along pipelines, construction and manufacturing sites, as well as sports stadia.

“At Axis, we always strive to make our cameras even better and the improvements we have made to the Axis Q60s are particularly evident with the HDTV models, especially in low-light situations,” says Roy Alves, regional business development manager at Axis.

Axis Q6044/-E/-C PTZ domes have 30x optical zoom and their light sensitivity is nearly three times better than the industry norm for HDTV cameras. They also support electronic image stabilisation to reduce effects of camera vibrations – i.e. from wind or traffic – to provide clearer, more useful video. In addition, they support automatic defog to detect fog in the scene and digitally filter it out of view for clearer video.

Axis Q6045/-E/-C PTZ domes also have better light sensitivity. Furthermore, they have additional built-in video analytics including highlight compensation to mask bright lights for ease of viewing, object removed, fence detector, object counter and enter/exit detection.

An added feature in all new Axis Q60 cameras is shock detection, which mechanically detects and triggers an alarm if the camera has been hit. The new cameras are equipped with a powerful CPU and co-processor. They enable better image quality and usability, with lower noise, higher light sensitivity for sharper images and more efficient video compression with H.264 Main Profile.

They also provide improved support for simultaneous streaming of multiple, individually optimised video streams, providing video management systems with increased flexibility and manageable network and storage use. In addition, there is more processing power and capacity for intelligent video applications, which are helpful in alerting and enabling operators to act on potential alarm situations.

The day/night functionality in the cameras is now also adjustable, allowing operators to determine when the camera should automatically shift between day mode (when video is presented in colour) and night mode (when video is presented in black and white) to take advantage of infrared light in low light situations. Brightness control also allows operators to make the dark areas of a scene brighter.
