Axis Q3558-LVE Dome Camera

Axis Communications Q3558-LVE Overview

The Axis Q3558-LVE is a 4K UHD outdoor dome camera designed for comprehensive surveillance in challenging lighting and dynamic scenes. Model 03206-001 delivers 3840×2160 resolution with advanced video compression, Forensic WDR up to 120dB, and embedded deep learning processing for real-time analytics. This camera combines varifocal optics, IR night vision, and multi-codec support to meet demanding integrator requirements in retail, transportation, critical infrastructure, and large-scale outdoor deployments.

Axis Communications Q3558-LVE Key Features

• 4K UHD Resolution with Multi-Format Support: Captures up to 3840×2160 (16:9) at 25/30 fps with Forensic WDR enabled, or 50/60 fps without WDR. Supports 16:10 (1280×800) and 4:3 (2880×2160) aspect ratios for flexible deployment scenarios and corridor format orientation.
• Forensic WDR up to 120dB Dynamic Range: Advanced wide dynamic range processing delivers forensic-quality images in mixed lighting, backlighting, and high-contrast scenes. Maintains detail in both shadows and bright areas without motion artifacts.
• Varifocal 6.3–13mm Lens with 2x Optical Zoom: Remote zoom and focus control enables field adjustment without physical intervention. Horizontal field of view ranges 104° (wide) to 50° (telephoto); minimum focus distance 0.50m accommodates close-range and perimeter coverage.
• Multi-Codec Video Compression: H.265 (HEVC) Main Profile, H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) Baseline/Main/High profiles, and AV1 support. Axis Zipstream technology reduces bandwidth 50–80% across all codecs while maintaining forensic quality. Supports up to 20 configurable video streams with VBR, ABR, and MBR modes.
• Day/Night IR Illumination with Automatic Filter: Minimum illumination 0.04 lux (color, F1.6, 50 IRE) and 0.007 lux (B/W, F1.6, 50 IRE). Automatic IR-cut filter switches seamlessly between day and night modes. 0 lux operation with IR illumination engaged for 24/7 coverage in zero-light environments.
• Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) and Analytics: Embedded ARTPEC-9 System-on-Chip with dedicated deep learning processor enables on-camera analytics without separate compute. Supports real-time object detection, classification, and event triggering for efficient bandwidth and storage use.
• Forensic-Grade Image Processing: 2D (spatial) and 3D (temporal) noise reduction preserve fine detail in low-light. Pan ±180°, tilt -42° to +80°, rotation ±180° (including corridor format). Controllable saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness, white balance, exposure zones, barrel distortion correction, privacy masks, and dynamic text overlay.
• Multi-View Streaming and Low-Latency Mode: Up to 7 individually cropped output areas from a single stream. Low-latency mode support for real-time monitoring and PTZ-style control. Video streaming indicator confirms active transmission.
• Robust System Architecture: 4GB RAM and 8GB Flash storage on ARTPEC-9 SoC. Signal-to-noise ratio >55dB. 2.9µm pixel size on 1/1.2" progressive RGB CMOS sensor optimizes light sensitivity and detail in compact 4K format.
• Flexible Shutter Control: Electronic shutter range 1/67500s to 2s enables precise exposure tuning in variable light. P-Iris control with lock and target aperture functions optimize depth-of-field and iris response.
• Recommended Accessories Include: AXIS I/O Indication LED for surveillance event indication, AXIS Safety Wire 3m for pendant/ceiling security, and AXIS T8415 Wireless Installation Tool for field commissioning. AXIS D1110 4K Video Decoder with HDMI output decodes on-camera streams to displays and legacy systems.
