Axis Q1809-LE 41MP Outdoor AI IR Bullet Camera

Axis Q1809-LE 41MP Outdoor AI IR Bullet Network Camera

The Axis Q1809-LE is an ultra-high-resolution outdoor network camera engineered for large-scale surveillance in mission-critical environments. With 41MP resolution and advanced AI analytics, this rugged bullet camera delivers exceptional image clarity and intelligent threat detection across expansive areas, from airport runways to stadium perimeters and urban security networks.

Key Features

• 41MP ultra-high-resolution sensor with 15 fps capture or 8K video up to 30 fps
• High light-sensitive 4/3" sensor with Lightfinder 2.0 for color video in low-light conditions
• Tele Canon lens (50–150 mm) with 3x optical zoom and 21°–7° horizontal field of view
• AI-driven analytics for intelligent detection and classification of people, vehicles, and objects
• IP66/IP67-rated rugged housing for extreme outdoor weather resistance
• Infrared (IR) capability for round-the-clock surveillance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified single-cable installation and power delivery

Technical Highlights

The Q1809-LE combines a high-sensitivity 4/3" sensor with Axis Lightfinder 2.0 technology, enabling full-color surveillance even in challenging low-light environments where traditional cameras struggle. The custom-made tele lens provides exceptional identification clarity across long distances, with 3x zoom magnification ideal for facial recognition and license plate capture in large surveillance zones.

Equipped with advanced AI-based video analytics, the camera intelligently detects and classifies people, vehicles, and objects in real time. This capability significantly reduces false alarms and improves operational efficiency by filtering relevant events from background noise—critical for large-scale deployments where alert fatigue can compromise security effectiveness.

Built for unforgiving outdoor environments, the IP66/IP67-rated housing ensures reliable operation through extreme temperatures, heavy rain, dust, and corrosive conditions. IR illumination extends surveillance capability into total darkness, providing 24/7 monitoring without reliance on auxiliary lighting.

Ideal Applications

• Airport runway and perimeter surveillance
• Stadium and large venue monitoring
• Urban and citywide security networks
• Critical infrastructure protection
• Border and checkpoint monitoring
• Port and logistics facility oversight

The Q1809-LE addresses a distinct market segment where resolution, detection accuracy, and environmental durability converge. The 41MP specification and 8K output capability exceed typical 4K deployments, enabling post-event forensic analysis and identification over expansive coverage zones. The AI analytics layer is particularly valuable in large-area surveillance where manual monitoring is impractical; intelligent filtering of people and vehicles reduces investigative overhead and accelerates incident response.

The tele lens design with 3x zoom and long focal range (50–150 mm) positions this camera for applications requiring identification-grade detail at distance—airports, stadiums, and urban monitoring where subjects may be tens or hundreds of meters away. Combined with IR capability and Lightfinder 2.0, the Q1809-LE operates effectively across daylight, twilight, and complete darkness, eliminating seasonal or weather-related blind spots common in outdoor networks.

PoE integration simplifies infrastructure demands in large-scale rollouts, reducing installation complexity and total cost of ownership. For organizations deploying dozens or hundreds of cameras across distributed outdoor sites, this single-cable approach minimizes cabling runs and power infrastructure costs.
