Axis Communications Q1808-LE 150mm Bullet Camera Overview
The Axis Q1808-LE 150mm is a professional-grade 10 MP outdoor bullet camera purpose-built for long-range surveillance in harsh environments. With a ultra-high light-sensitive 4/3" progressive-scan CMOS sensor and varifocal 50–150mm Canon lens, this camera delivers 4K video capture at extreme distances while maintaining noise-free performance even in low-light conditions. Engineered for NEMA 4X, IP66, IP67, and IK10-rated deployment, it withstands vandalism, extreme weather, and corrosive environments.
Axis Communications Q1808-LE 150mm Key Features
- Ultra-High Light Sensitivity 4/3" Image Sensor: 4.63 µm pixel size delivers exceptional low-light performance with color reproduction at 0.02 lux (F1.7, 50 IRE) and 0.004 lux monochrome, enabling surveillance across dawn-to-dusk and near-dark conditions without excessive noise.
- Varifocal 50–150mm Canon Zoom Lens with 3× Optical Zoom: Delivers precise 21° to 7° horizontal field of view with remote zoom and autofocus. Minimum focus distance of 5m (16.4 ft) ensures crisp detail at extended range, essential for perimeter and critical infrastructure monitoring.
- 4K Resolution at 60 fps; 10 MP at 30 fps: Captures 3840×2160 video at 60 fps for smooth motion tracking and forensic playback, or 3712×2784 10 MP at 30 fps for maximum detail. Multiple aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 16:10) support corridor format and specialized surveillance layouts.
- OptimizedIR 850nm Night Vision with Lightfinder 2.0: Power-efficient infrared illumination paired with ultra-high sensitivity sensor ensures crisp monochrome video in complete darkness. Automatic IR-cut filter removes in daylight; IR-pass filter (800–900 nm) engages at night.
- Forensic WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Simultaneously captures detail in bright sunlight and deep shadow, critical for scenes with mixed outdoor/indoor lighting or reflective surfaces. Enables investigative-quality playback in challenging backlighting conditions.
- Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) & AXIS Object Analytics: On-device AI for real-time people, vehicle, and object detection, reducing false alerts and enabling intelligent event-triggered recording. Supports video motion detection, shock detection, and active tampering alarm for proactive security response.
- H.265, H.264, and Motion JPEG Compression with Zipstream: Intelligent bitrate optimization reduces storage and bandwidth consumption by up to 50% without sacrificing image quality. Support for up to 20 individually configurable video streams allows simultaneous delivery to multiple VMS platforms and analytics engines.
- Robust Outdoor Weatherproofing: IP66/IP67 dust and water ingress protection; IK10 vandal resistance (50 J impact); operates reliably from –40°C to +60°C (–40°F to +140°F). Removable sunshield minimizes glare and IR reflections. IP66/IP67-rated cable glands and optional IDC punch connectors ensure sealed field installations.
- PoE Power with PoE-Out Capability: Powered via PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) Class 4, consuming up to 20–28 V DC or 20–24 V AC. Integrated 30W PoE-out port powers additional devices (access control, illuminators, additional sensors) without separate cabling, reducing infrastructure cost.
- AXIS Edge Vault with FIPS-Certified TPM 2.0: Protects against unauthorized access and firmware tampering. Secure boot and encrypted storage safeguard sensitive video metadata and authentication credentials in high-security installations.
- Advanced Image Enhancement: Barrel distortion correction, electronic image stabilization, and scene profiles optimize video for specific environments. Defogging technology cuts through atmospheric haze on coastal or industrial sites.
- Audio & Supervised I/O: Integrated audio input for synchronized sound capture. Supervised digital I/O port triggers alarms, relay outputs, or external device control based on analytics or motion events. microSD card slot enables local edge storage backup (card not included).
