The AXIS Q6300-E Panoramic Camera delivers comprehensive 360° coverage through four 5 MP multidirectional sensors, making it ideal for wide-area monitoring. When paired with Axis PTZ cameras (Q61/Q63 or P56 Series), it offers both continuous panoramic overview and the ability to zoom in for high-detail inspections.
Equipped with Lightfinder 2.0 and wide dynamic range (WDR), the Q6300-E ensures clear, colour-accurate imaging in low-light or high-contrast conditions. Built-in edge analytics such as AXIS Object Analytics and Scene Metadata provide people/vehicle detection and event triggers directly from the camera.
Its outdoor-ready housing is IP66/IK10 rated, operating in extreme temperatures from –50 °C to +55 °C, and includes privacy masking for compliance in sensitive environments. Installation is simplified with remote focus, auto-alignment, and optional Wi-Fi dongle preview, reducing setup time for large-scale deployments.
With Axis Zipstream compression, strong cybersecurity features via Axis Edge Vault, and flexible mounting options, the AXIS Q6300-E is a professional solution for airports, transport hubs, public squares, industrial sites, and critical infrastructure requiring reliable, wide-area surveillance with zoom-in detail capability.
Use Cases
Here are scenarios where the AXIS Q6300-E is especially useful:
-
Wide-Area Outdoor Monitoring
For large public spaces like plazas, campuses, or parks where 360° coverage is needed to monitor crowds, events, or general public safety.
-
Transport Hubs and Terminals
In train stations, bus interchanges, airports — useful for overseeing platforms, waiting areas, concourses, entrances/exits, and tracking people flow plus detecting incidents.
-
Perimeter Security for Large Facilities
Industrial sites, logistic hubs, utilities, or data centres where multiple angles of approach need coverage; the panoramic view helps reduce blind spots.
-
Critical Infrastructure & Remote Installations
Where environmental extremes (heat, cold, humidity) are a factor; durability and wide temp ranges make this suited to harsher settings. Edge analytics helps reduce the need for constant monitoring.
-
Combined Overview + PTZ Zoom Operations
Security operations where you want both a continuous panoramic view and occasional zoomed detail. The Q6300-E’s design to pair with PTZ cameras allows switching from wide view to detailed zoom quickly.
-
Situations Requiring Fast Installation & Adjustment
Installers can use the Wi-Fi dongle to preview camera orientation onsite, adjust sensor heads and PTZ alignment, which speeds up setup. Useful for large-scale deployment where many cameras must be set up.
-
Privacy Sensitive Environments
Any place where certain zones need masking (e.g. windows, private property, pedestrian walkways) — the privacy masking features help comply with privacy requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
| Question |
Answer |
| What does “multidirectional” mean with this camera? |
It means there are multiple (four) separate sensor heads in one unit, each covering part of the 360° view. Together they provide a full panorama, usually mounted on ceiling or wall with appropriate brackets. |
| Do I need a PTZ camera to get zoomed-in detail? |
Yes — while the Q6300-E gives wide overview and detail across its four sensors, to zoom into distant objects or get fine detail you use a paired PTZ camera (from Q61, Q63 or P56 series). The system lets you switch from overview to detail seamlessly. |
| How is performance in low light? |
It uses Lightfinder 2.0 which gives good colour reproduction in lower light. Also, the sensors are ½-inch which helps with light sensitivity. B/W sensitivity is better than colour in very low light. Many scenes will need less external IR because of these features. |
| What are the environmental durability specs? |
Operates in very cold to hot temperatures (roughly –50 °C to +55 °C). It has high protection ratings: IP66 for water/dust ingress and IK10 for physical/vandal resistance. Outdoor ready. |
| Is bandwidth/storage use a concern? |
Yes, with four 5 MP sensors there is considerable data being produced. But features like Axis Zipstream compression, scene metadata, selective recording, and remote zoom (only when needed) help reduce overall bandwidth and storage use. |
| Can installers adjust sensor orientation onsite? |
Yes. Remote focus, auto-alignment between sensor heads and PTZ cameras. Also a WiFi dongle can be used in a USB port for onsite previewing and adjustment. |
| What privacy features are available? |
Privacy masking is supported (you can pixelate areas). Also secure firmware / OS protects video data integrity. |
| Is local storage available? |
Yes. The camera supports memory card local storage (microSD or similar) for edge recording. |
