Axis Communications, a company that deals in the network video market, has unveiled an outdoor-ready PTZ dome camera.

 

According to the company, the so-called “Axis (News - Alert) Q6032-E PTZ Dome Network Camera” is designed for use at airports and seaports, as well as for city and perimeter surveillance.

 

“Axis Q6032-E is a top-performing PTZ dome camera that’s ready right out of the box for mounting outdoors,” said Baraa Al Akkad, regional manager Axis Communications, ME.

Akkad said there’s no need to purchase and mount a separate outdoor housing, so it’s quick and easy to install the network camera.

 

He also said that Axis Q6032-E meets demanding requirements for superb video quality, high zoom for detailed inspection, fast and precise pan/tilt performance and reliable operation in extreme climates.

 

Officials said that Arctic Temperature Control, a new and unique functionality from Axis, is introduced for the first time in Axis Q6032-E, which allows the camera to not only function at -40 °C (-40 °F) but also power up at that temperature following a power failure.

 

The camera can operate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 50 °C (-40 °F to 122 °F) and has an IP66-rated protection against dust and water.

According to the company, the Axis Q6032-E is powered through High Power over Ethernet, which simplifies installation since only one cable is needed for carrying power, as well as video and pan/tilt/zoom controls.

 

The camera comes with lots of features including automatic day and night functionality, 128x wide dynamic range, progressive scan technology, and a powerful 35x optical and 12x digital zoom with autofocus.

 

Also, the camera’s built-in SD/SDHC memory card slot enables recordings to be stored locally.

 

Officials said that Axis Q6032-E also includes advanced network capabilities for improved security, efficiency and manageability.
