Axis Q3839-PVE Panoramic Dome Camera

Axis Communications Q3839-PVE Overview

The Axis Q3839-PVE (MPN 02657-001) is an 8K multisensor panoramic dome camera engineered for comprehensive situational awareness across extensive areas. With seamless 180° horizontal and 90° vertical coverage, this 29 MP camera eliminates blind spots through intelligent stitching of four synchronized 8.3 MP sensors, each equipped with a 4.6 mm fixed lens. The Q3839-PVE is purpose-built for security integrators and IT managers who require forensic-grade image quality, edge-based AI analytics, and cost-efficient remote installation in outdoor surveillance deployments.

Axis Communications Q3839-PVE Key Features

• 29 MP Seamless Panoramic Coverage: Four 1/1.8" progressive-scan CMOS image sensors with 2.0 µm pixel pitch deliver lossless 180° × 90° panoramic views at up to 30 fps (25 fps at 50 Hz). Seamless image stitching across all four sensors eliminates visible seams and provides a cohesive, forensically usable panoramic feed with one IP address.
• Lossless Digital Zoom: Zoom into areas of interest without degrading image sharpness, enabling detailed investigation and identification from a single panoramic stream.
• Dual ARTPEC-8 System-on-Chip: Built-in dual Axis system-on-chip architecture includes a dedicated deep learning processing unit (DLPU) enabling advanced AI-powered analytics directly on the camera edge, reducing bandwidth and server load.
• AI-Powered Object Analytics: Native support for Axis Object Analytics enables detection, classification, tracking, and counting of humans and vehicle types across the entire 180° field of view, essential for crowd management, perimeter security, and traffic monitoring.
• Exceptional Low-Light Performance: Forensic WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) up to 120 dB depending on scene content, combined with automatic IR-cut filter and minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in color (50 IRE, F1.8) and 0.03 lux in B/W. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 55 dB for reliable 24/7 operation.
• Advanced Video Compression: Supports H.265 and H.264 encoding with Axis Zipstream technology and configurable VBR/ABR/MBR modes, reducing bandwidth consumption by up to 50% while maintaining forensic image quality.
• Remote Pan/Tilt/Roll Installation Motors: Integrated motorized installation adjustment (Pan ±176°, Tilt 30° to 88°, Roll ±7°) ensures proper horizon alignment and eliminates costly on-site repositioning after mounting.
• Horizon Straightening: Automatic horizon leveling correction delivers natural, professional-looking 180° panoramic views regardless of installation angle or vibration.
• Flexible Multi-Stream Output: Up to 20 unique, individually configurable video streams including up to 8 individually cropped out-view areas, enabling simultaneous delivery of full panoramic feed and cropped regions to different VMS platforms or analytics engines.
• FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Certified Edge Vault: Axis Edge Vault safeguards the device with certified key storage and cryptographic operations, protecting video streams and analytics data from unauthorized access.
• Spatial and Temporal Noise Reduction: 2D (spatial) and 3D (temporal) noise reduction filters optimize image clarity in low-light and high-noise environments, critical for forensic evidence preservation.

Axis Communications Q3839-PVE Integration & Compatibility

The Q3839-PVE operates as a single IP camera despite four integrated sensors, streamlining network configuration and VMS integration. Full ONVIF support ensures compatibility with third-party video management systems. The camera supports low-latency mode for real-time monitoring applications and includes dynamic text/image overlay, polygon privacy masks, and local contrast enhancement for customized deployment scenarios. Up to 20 configurable video streams allow simultaneous delivery of panoramic and cropped views to analytics platforms, VMS servers, and edge devices. Compatible with Axis Edge storage via microSD surveillance card (64 GB option available separately).
