41MP / 8K Ultra-High-Resolution Surveillance
The AXIS Q1809-LE delivers outstanding image detail with up to 41 megapixel / 8K resolution. This allows the camera to capture a much larger amount of visual information compared with standard surveillance cameras, making it useful for wide-area monitoring, forensic review and applications where image clarity is critical.
12–24mm Varifocal Lens for Longer-Range Coverage
This specific model, SKU 02870-001, includes a 12–24mm varifocal lens. Compared with wider-angle lens variants, this lens range is better suited to longer-distance viewing and more targeted coverage. It allows installers to adjust the field of view to suit site requirements, whether focusing on a driveway, gate, perimeter line, loading area, roadway, entrance point or distant target zone.
Built-In 850nm Infrared Illumination
The AXIS Q1809-LE includes 850nm IR illumination to support surveillance in low-light and night-time environments. This helps maintain visibility after dark without relying solely on external lighting, making the camera suitable for 24/7 outdoor security applications.
DLPU for Advanced On-Camera Processing
This model includes DLPU, supporting advanced deep-learning processing directly on the camera. This allows compatible analytics to run at the edge, helping improve detection accuracy and reduce unnecessary alerts when used with supported Axis analytics and video management systems.
