Stunning Video Quality & Zoom Range
Captures Full HD (1920×1080) video at up to 60 fps using a 1/2.8″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor. The 40× optical zoom lens (4.25–170 mm) offers a horizontal field of view from approximately 65.1° to 2.0° and vertical from 39.1° to 1.18°, with autofocus and auto-iris control for sharp clarity across expansive scenes.
Reliable Low-Light & High Contrast Performance
Lightfinder 2.0 captures vivid color video down to ~0.1 lux, while Forensic WDR enables balanced exposure in high-contrast settings. In near-total darkness, Optimized IR provides sharp black-and-white imagery down to ~0.002 lux.
Active Tracking & Intelligent Analytics
Equipped with Autotracking 2 and click-to-track functionality, the camera follows moving objects automatically. Built-in AXIS Guard Suite analytics includes motion detection, loitering guard, fence guard, object removal, enter/exit detection, object counter, and active gatekeeper. Orientation aid overlays help operators maintain situational context.
Secure & Efficient Design
Utilizes Axis Zipstream with H.264 and H.265 support to optimize bandwidth and storage while preserving image quality. Powered by ARTPEC‑7 SoC with a FIPS 140‑2 Level 2 certified TPM and secure boot/signature mechanisms to ensure device integrity. Includes local storage via microSD or NAS.
Exceptional Durability & Environmental Ratings
Built to endure harsh climates and vandal risk, the camera is certified IP66, IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X. Designed to operate between –40 °C to +50 °C, with Arctic temperature control for reliable startup in extreme cold. Features include electronic image stabilization to maintain image clarity in wind or vibration-prone installations.
Pan/Tilt Automation & Presets
Supports continuous 360° pan and 220° tilt at speeds up to 450°/s. Includes up to 256 preset positions, guided guard tours, zoom queues, focus recall, spot focus, and E‑flip. A control queue and on-screen directional guides help streamline monitoring operations.
Advanced Connectivity
Includes PoE+ support, two-way audio, alarm inputs and outputs, and compliance with ONVIF Profiles G/S/T and VAPIX API. Integrates seamlessly with VMS systems and supports third-party ACAP apps.
