Axis Q8752-E MkII PTZ Camera 1080p (2 MP)

Axis Communications Q8752-E MkII Overview

The Axis Q8752-E MkII (model 03053-001) is a professional-grade bispectral PTZ camera engineered for outdoor surveillance requiring simultaneous thermal detection and visual verification. Built on the AXIS ARTPEC7 platform, this dual-sensor system delivers 1080p color video at 30 fps paired with 640x480 thermal imaging at 8.3 fps, enabling long-range threat identification in any lighting condition. Designed for column-mount deployment in harsh outdoor environments, the Q8752-E MkII is IP66 and NEMA 4X rated with integrated cybersecurity features, making it suitable for critical infrastructure, perimeter security, and 24/7 monitoring applications.

Axis Communications Q8752-E MkII Key Features

• Dual-Channel Imaging with True Thermal Detection: 640x480 thermal sensor with 8.3 fps capture paired with 1080p (2 MP) visual sensor at 30 fps, enabling reliable long-range thermal detection while maintaining visual verification capability for accurate threat assessment.
• 32x Optical Zoom with 35mm Fixed Thermal Lens: Visual channel features 32x optical zoom with focus recall and 35mm fixed thermal lens, delivering extended focal length for distant perimeter monitoring without quality loss from digital interpolation.
• Dual Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS): Both thermal and visual channels feature integrated EIS to eliminate jitter and deliver smooth, forensically viable video during pan and tilt operations or in windy outdoor conditions.
• 360° Infinite Pan with High-Speed Positioning: Responsive absolute positioning enables continuous 360° rotation for seamless tracking and fast repositioning. Ultra-smooth pan and tilt capabilities support precision following of moving threats across extended perimeters.
• Extreme Low-Light Performance: Visual channel leverages Lightfinder 2.0 technology for true color capture in near-darkness, combined with Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) to preserve detail in high-contrast lighting or challenging environmental conditions.
• Advanced Compression and Bandwidth Control: Supports H.265, H.264, and Motion JPEG with Zipstream technology in H.265 and H.264 profiles, enabling intelligent bitrate reduction (VBR/ABR/MBR) for optimized bandwidth utilization without sacrificing image quality.
• Built-In Cybersecurity Framework: Equipped with TPM module, Axis secure boot, and signed firmware to defend against unauthorized access and firmware tampering. Complies with ONVIF Profile G, M, S, and T for secure network integration.
• Fiber Optic Connectivity: Integrated SFP slot enables direct fiber-optic connection to overcome distance and bandwidth limitations in large-scale deployments, ideal for remote monitoring stations and high-interference environments.
• Video Analytics Platform: Built-in Video Motion Detection (VMD) and support for AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) enable native installation of Axis Perimeter Defender and third-party analytics applications for automated threat detection and event triggering.
• Integrated Long-Life Silicone Wiper: Factory-installed remote-controllable wiper for automatic lens maintenance, reducing onsite service calls and maintaining optical clarity in dusty, rain-prone, or coastal environments.
• IP66 and NEMA 4X Weatherproofing: Rated for severe outdoor conditions including salt spray, extreme temperature swings, high-velocity water jets, and airborne dust, with UL listing for North American compliance.
• Column-Mount Ready Design: Optimized mechanical footprint and mounting interface for standard column installations, simplifying integration into perimeter fencing, gate structures, and utility poles.
