Axis Q6355-LE PTZ Camera

Axis Communications Q6355-LE PTZ Camera Overview

The AXIS Q6355-LE is a 2 MP AI-powered PTZ camera engineered for mission-critical outdoor surveillance in extreme low-light environments. Built on Axis' ARTPEC-9 accelerated processing engine, this camera combines a highly light-sensitive 1/2" progressive-scan CMOS sensor with 31x optical zoom and laser focus to deliver forensic-quality video in near-total darkness. It is rated IP66, IK10, NEMA 4x, and NEMA TS2 (operational up to 74°C/165°F), making it suitable for harsh industrial, traffic, perimeter, and critical infrastructure deployments where conventional PTZ models fail.

Axis Communications Q6355-LE Key Features

• Extreme Low-Light Sensitivity: 0.06 lux in color mode and 0.001 lux in black & white with IR illumination enabled (both at 30 IRE, F1.36), enabling detection and classification in near-total darkness without loss of detail.
• 31x Optical Zoom with Laser Focus: Focal length range of 6.91–214.64mm (horizontal field of view 60.6° to 2.0°) with laser focus and quick-zoom capability for rapid target acquisition and forensic zoom-in without digital degradation.
• IR Illumination to 300 Meters: Integrated infrared illumination extends effective surveillance range up to 300m (984 ft) in total darkness, with automatically removable IR-cut filter for seamless day/night operation.
• HDTV 1080p Multi-Frame-Rate Video: 1920x1080 resolution at up to 50/60 fps (automatically selected based on power source), with support for multiple individually configurable streams in AV1, H.265, H.264, and Motion JPEG.
• Forensic WDR and Lightfinder Technology: Forensic Wide Dynamic Range combined with optimized IR handling ensures balanced exposure in mixed lighting and backlit scenes; Lightfinder technology maximizes visible detail in low-light color capture.
• Deep Learning Analytics with DLPU: Built-in Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) enables on-camera object detection and classification (humans, vehicles, vehicle types) with Axis Object Analytics, reducing backend processing load and enabling edge-based decision-making.
• Axis Zipstream with AV1, H.264, H.265: Multi-codec support with Zipstream compression technology dramatically reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without sacrificing quality, critical for high-resolution PTZ deployments over congested networks.
• IP66/IK10/NEMA 4x Weather and Impact Resistance: Fully sealed enclosure rated for dustproof, high-pressure water jet resistance, extreme impact protection, and extended temperature operation up to 74°C, enabling reliable performance in outdoor industrial and municipal environments.
• Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity: Built-in device and data protection safeguards sensitive information from unauthorized access, with signed firmware and secure boot architecture.
• Auto Tracking and Tour Recording: Automated object tracking with 2-tour recording capability for unattended multi-point surveillance; Compass ruler overlay and privacy masking with Chameleon technology for regulatory compliance.
• Integrated Midspan with Audio and I/O: Included midspan (on standard models) provides PoE power delivery plus audio input and I/O connectivity for alarm integration, eliminating need for external interface modules.

Axis Communications Q6355-LE Integration & Compatibility

The Q6355-LE communicates via standard ONVIF protocols and integrates with major VMS platforms supporting ONVIF Profile S and T. ARTPEC-9 processing enables native Deep Learning inference on the camera itself, reducing bandwidth and processing demands on backend servers. Multiple video streams in H.265, H.264, and AV1 with Axis Zipstream provide flexible deployment across bandwidth-constrained networks. Built-in two-way audio and I/O interfaces support integration with external alarms, relays, and audio devices. A smoked dome is available as an optional accessory for additional vandal deterrence or aesthetic deployment requirements.
