Axis Communications, a pioneer in network video, has announced the launch of a powerful bullet camera that delivers superior image quality and excellent forensic value. This all-in-one, outdoor-ready camera features a custom-made, tele lens ideal for long-distance surveillance to deliver extremely high pixel density even in low-light conditions.
With many possible applications from smart cities and airport perimeters to stadiums and transport hubs, this powerful camera is ready out-of-the-box. For example, it is supplied with a mounting arm for easy installation, and a spacious back box ensures secure cable management. In addition, PoE out makes it possible to connect and power another device without any additional cabling. This eliminates the need to rent extra ports and simplifies installation.
Linn Storäng, Regional Director Northern Europe, Axis Communications, commented, “This new bullet camera is a very versatile addition to the Axis range of network cameras. With a powerful custom lens, it’s suitable for a wide range of possible applications where an outdoor setup is needed to protect areas with a large perimeter.”
“With optimised IR, it allows for surveillance in complete darkness without the need for extra lighting, plus, it delivers valuable metadata for efficient forensic search in live or recorded video.”
Built on a dual Axis system-on-chip, this camera includes Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorised access. It also offers FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure cryptographic key storage and operations. Furthermore, Axis Zipstream reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.
AXIS Q1809-LE Bullet Camera offers 41 MP at 15 fps or 8K at up to 30 fps. It features a 4/3” image sensor for exceptional low-light performance. With a custom-made, tele (50–150 mm) Canon lens and 21°-7° horizontal field of view, it delivers extreme detail over great distances. 3x zoom also makes it ideal for identification purposes. Thanks to electronic image stabilisation (EIS), it ensures smooth video in situations where a camera is subject to vibrations, for instance, at sports arenas.
