Technical Specifications
Imaging: The 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with Lightfinder 2.0 captures color video at 0.06 lux and operates in near-complete darkness (0 lux IR mode). Forensic WDR processing excels in mixed lighting, automatically balancing exposure across bright and dark regions. OptimizedIR and the IR-shielded dome prevent washout and reflection artifacts common in infrared imaging.
Optics & Coverage: Dual zoom lenses provide horizontal field of view ranges of 103–52° (4.3–8.6 mm) and 14.9–40.8° (11.3–29.4 mm), enabling both wide-area monitoring and detailed close-up observation. Remote focus and zoom enable real-time adjustment without physical access.
Durability & Environmental: IP66 protection shields against dust and water ingress. IK10+ rating withstands vandalism and impact. The extended temperature range ensures reliable operation in arctic and desert climates.
Network & Storage: PoE Class 4 simplifies installation with single-cable power and data delivery. H.264 compression with Zipstream reduces storage and bandwidth demands while maintaining quality. Local storage via PoE supports autonomous operation.
The Q3536-LVE represents a mature, purpose-built solution for outdoor surveillance in extreme conditions. Its Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR combination is particularly effective in scenarios with minimal, inconsistent, or artificial lighting—critical for forensic evidence capture and 24/7 monitoring. The PTZ dome design provides flexible coverage without additional cameras, reducing infrastructure cost.
IK10+ vandalism resistance and wide temperature tolerance suit harsh, high-risk environments. PoE integration and local storage eliminate dependency on centralized systems, improving resilience. H.264 with Zipstream offers practical bandwidth efficiency for high-resolution, continuous recording.
The security features (Secure Boot, Edge Vault) align with modern cybersecurity standards. Ideal for law enforcement, critical infrastructure, transportation, and large-scale commercial deployments where image forensics and reliability are non-negotiable.
