Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 5MP Corner Camera: The AXIS Q9227-SLV captures up to 2880 × 2160 resolution, providing detailed monitoring from a corner-mounted position. This is valuable in secure rooms and supervised spaces where staff need clear visibility of occupants, room activity, and interactions.

• Anti-Ligature Design: The ligature-resistant design helps reduce self-harm risk in sensitive environments. This makes the camera suitable for prisons, psychiatric wards, healthcare facilities, detention spaces, holding rooms, and other high-risk locations where conventional protruding cameras may create safety concerns.

• No-Blind-Spot Coverage: The 3.7mm fixed lens provides 115° horizontal and 89.2° vertical coverage from a room corner. This helps deliver broad visibility across the monitored space and supports better awareness in compact rooms, cells, wards, and secure observation areas.

• 940nm Invisible IR and White LED: Built-in 940nm invisible IR supports surveillance in complete darkness with minimal visible glow, helping avoid unnecessary irritation or provocation. A white LED is also included to help capture colour detail when lighting conditions and operational procedures allow.

• Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR: Lightfinder 2.0 helps preserve true colours and useful detail in low light, while Forensic WDR improves visibility when bright and dark areas appear together. These technologies help deliver practical evidence in challenging room lighting and near-darkness.

• Built-In Speaker and Microphone: The hidden speaker and microphone support two-way audio communication, helping staff speak with occupants and hear scene audio where permitted. This adds operational value in healthcare, corrections, and secure facilities where remote communication may support safer response.

• AI-Powered Audio and Video Analytics: The camera includes a deep learning processing unit for analytics on the edge. AXIS Object Analytics can detect and classify humans, while AXIS Audio Analytics can notify staff about relevant sounds such as screams, shouts, coughing fits, or sudden sound level changes.

• Privacy-Aware Monitoring Support: AXIS Live Privacy Shield is supported for AI-based dynamic masking of objects, helping balance monitoring needs with privacy requirements. This is especially valuable in healthcare, mental health, custodial, and supervised environments where privacy and safety must both be considered.

• IK11, IP66, IP69 and IP6K9K Protection: The camera is built to withstand demanding conditions, including impact, water, dust, and high-pressure cleaning. It is available in stainless steel or white coloured stainless steel and can be cleaned with detergent or graffiti remover for easier maintenance.

• Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity: Axis Edge Vault helps safeguard the camera and protect sensitive information from unauthorised access. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure cryptographic key storage and operations support strong cybersecurity practices in professional and high-security environments.
