Axis Communications announces new 4K PTZ cameras and license plate identification cameras. Here’s more information provided by the company:

4K PTZ cameras with ultra-high light sensitivity

Featuring 4x zoom and a Canon lens, the AXIS Q1798-LE Network Camera comes with IP66, IP67 and IK10 ratings and can handle extreme temperatures ranging from -40 °F to 140 °F.

This camera was designed with enhanced cybersecurity features such as signed firmware and secure boot. Signed firmware guarantees that the firmware hasn’t been altered and ensures only authorized firmware is installed, while secure boot guarantees that the camera is completely free of malware after a factory default, if needed, says the company.

This camera also offers Axis Lightfinder 2.0 technology for increased light sensitivity, more life-like colors in almost complete darkness and sharper images of moving objects. Additionally, it’s possible to connect devices to the I/O ports to trigger alarms or actions and the supervised input sends a notification if the connection is lost.

Key features include:

  • 4K/10 MP resolutions
  • Ultra-high light-sensitive sensor
  • 12 – 48 mm Canon lens
  • Axis Lightfinder 2.0 technology
  • Axis Zipstream technology with support for H.264/H.265

Dedicated license plate camera

AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Camera ensures the required pixel density for license plate identification in one lane traffic at a range of up to 328 ft. during daytime and up to 164 ft. at nighttime.

It’s compatible with AXIS Camera Station and can be used with server-based or edge analytics from most third-party vendors to perform further analysis of recorded or live material.

This weatherproof camera includes an extra-long weathershield, IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X and IK10 ratings and it can withstand hurricane force winds of up to 134 mph, Axis Communications says. Additionally, the gray color housing and black weathershield blends right in to any traffic environment.

Key features include:

  • Sharp license plate images day and night
  • Handles vehicle speeds up to 81 mph
  • Capture range of up to 328 ft.
  • Designed for third-party software
  • Designed for rough weather

PTZ cameras with 40x optical zoom and enhanced security

Axis Communications AXIS Q6075 and AXIS Q6075-E PTZ Network Cameras are Axis’ first with 40x optical zoom and offer superior light-sensitivity with Lightfinder 2.0, which captures low-light images with more saturated colors in demanding light conditions and sharper images of moving objects.

These cameras feature autotracking 2 with ‘click and track’ functionality, as well as an orientation aid with dynamic overlays for active object tracking.

These cameras also include security features such as signed firmware and secure boot to guarantee that the firmware hasn’t been altered and ensure only authorized firmware is installed.

These 4K PTZ cameras include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that’s FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified to ensure secure storage of all cryptographic keys and certificates so that they remain safe even in the event of a security breach.

Key features include:

  • HDTV 1080p with 40x optical zoom
  • Axis Lightfinder 2.0
  • Autotracking 2 and orientation aid
  • Built-in analytics for proactive surveillance
  • Axis Zipstream technology with support for H.264/H.265

The outdoor model complies with IP66/67, NEMA 4X and IK10 ratings, making it resistant to dust, rain, snow, etc. Plus, arctic temperature control ensures startup and operation in temperatures ranging from -40 °F to 122 °F.
