FAQs
What is the AXIS Q1715 used for?
The AXIS Q1715 is used for professional network video surveillance where a compact block camera is required for integration into compatible housings or specialist systems. It is suitable for applications needing 1080p video, 21x optical zoom, strong image processing and advanced analytics support.
Does the AXIS Q1715 support high frame rate video?
Yes. The AXIS Q1715 supports up to 120fps at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. This can help capture smoother movement in suitable applications, although final recording performance depends on configuration, network capacity and storage design.
What zoom range does this camera provide?
The camera includes 21x optical zoom with a 4–84.6mm focal length. This makes it useful for viewing detail over longer distances or adjusting a scene more precisely than a fixed-lens camera.
Does it work well in low light?
Yes. The AXIS Q1715 includes Lightfinder 2.0, with listed colour sensitivity of 0.1 lux and black-and-white sensitivity of 0.02 lux. Performance depends on the scene, lens settings, exposure, motion and any external illumination used.
What does Forensic WDR do?
Forensic WDR helps maintain usable image detail when a scene contains both bright and dark areas. This is valuable for entrances, windows, backlit spaces and other locations where standard exposure can lose important detail.
Is the AXIS Q1715 outdoor ready?
The AXIS Q1715 is not listed as outdoor ready on its own and does not include built-in IR. For outdoor or harsh environments, select a suitable compatible housing, power design and installation accessories.
Does it support analytics?
