Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What makes the AXIS P1468-XLE explosion-protected?
It is certified for Zone/Division 2 hazardous locations, meaning it is safe for installation in environments where flammable gases, vapours, or dust may occasionally be present.
Q2. What resolution does the camera provide?
The P1468-XLE delivers 8MP (4K UHD) video at up to 60 frames per second, ensuring sharp detail for identification and evidence.
Q3. Can it operate in complete darkness?
Yes. It includes built-in OptimizedIR, providing clear night vision up to approximately 40 metres without external lighting.
Q4. Does it support AI analytics?
Yes. The camera includes a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) for advanced edge analytics such as object detection and classification.
Q5. Is it suitable for normal outdoor use as well?
Yes. While designed for hazardous environments, its rugged weatherproof and vandal-resistant housing also makes it excellent for harsh industrial outdoor installations.
Q6. Does it require an NVR?
Not necessarily. It can stream to a VMS/NVR system, or be deployed in distributed environments depending on the project design.
