Axis Q4809-PVE Panoramic Dome Camera

Axis Communications Q4809-PVE Panoramic Camera Overview

The Axis Q4809-PVE is a multi-sensor panoramic dome camera designed to deliver seamless 180° horizontal and 45° vertical coverage with 26 MP total resolution. Built on a dual ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip architecture, this camera is engineered for deployments requiring comprehensive situational awareness across expansive indoor and outdoor areas with exceptional pixel density and forensic detail recovery. The Q4809-PVE combines four 12 MP 1/2.3" progressive-scan RGB CMOS sensors with intelligent image stitching, advanced WDR processing, and edge-based AI analytics to eliminate blind spots while maintaining cost-efficient installation through remote pan/tilt/roll motorization.

Axis Communications Q4809-PVE Key Features

• 26 MP Seamless Panoramic Coverage: Four individually configured 12 MP sensors deliver continuous 10240 x 2560 resolution imagery with lossless zoom capability, preserving image sharpness during magnification without requiring external pan/tilt repositioning.
• 180° Horizontal × 45° Vertical Field of View: Single IP address multicamera stitching eliminates the complexity and cost of deploying multiple fixed cameras across wide areas such as parking lots, warehouse floors, transit hubs, and perimeter zones.
• High Frame Rate Performance: Captures up to 25/30 fps (50/60 Hz operation) across all resolution variants with support for up to 20 unique, configurable video streams per device using H.264 and H.265 codecs with Axis Zipstream technology for bandwidth optimization.
• Dual ARTPEC-8 Deep Learning Processing: Integrated deep learning processing unit enables edge-based AI Object Analytics capable of detecting, classifying, tracking, and counting humans and vehicle types in real time across the full 180° field without relying on external analytics servers.
• Advanced Forensic WDR and Low-Light Performance: Forensic WDR up to 120 dB depending on scene content; minimum illumination 0.1 lux color (50 IRE, F1.7) and 0.03 lux B/W with automatic IR-cut filter and extensive day/night noise reduction filters (spatial 2D and temporal 3D).
• Remote Pan/Tilt/Roll Installation Motors: Pan ±176°, tilt 20°–88°, and roll ±7° motorized adjustment via remote control eliminates on-site manual calibration, reducing installation time and labor costs. Horizon Straightening feature ensures naturally aligned 180° panoramic views regardless of mounting orientation.
• Multi-View and Crop Capability: Generate up to 6 individually cropped output view areas from a single camera feed, or produce up to 2 statically pre-defined view areas optimized for 10K split-view monitoring applications on high-resolution displays.
• Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity: Built-in FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified key storage and cryptographic operations protect device integrity, with signed firmware and secure boot mechanisms preventing unauthorized code execution.
• Professional Streaming and Compression: Support for H.265 and H.264 with variable, average, and maximum bitrate modes; low-latency mode for responsive monitoring; and video streaming indicator for real-time bandwidth visualization.
• Extensive Image and Sensor Adjustment: Configurable Horizon Straightening, saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness, white balance, day/night threshold, local contrast enhancement, tone mapping, exposure modes, and dynamic text/image overlay for forensic watermarking and privacy masking.

Axis Communications Q4809-PVE Integration & Compatibility

The Q4809-PVE operates as a 10K multisensor camera with a single IP address, compatible with ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms and Axis Camera Station. The camera supports standard Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T connectivity and provides both video streaming and remote connection capabilities through published APIs (p-ptz_positioning_calibration and p-ptz_remote_connection). Audio support is integrated for two-way communication and event-triggered recording. The camera's ONVIF compliance ensures interoperability with leading third-party management systems, and the built-in edge analytics eliminate the need for external GPU-based processing infrastructure.
