Technical Highlights

The Q3546-LVE leverages the ARTPEC-9 processor to run advanced analytics directly on the camera, eliminating dependency on external servers for object detection and classification. The 10mm telephoto lens provides focused long-range surveillance ideal for perimeter monitoring and wide-area coverage. The IR-shielded dome eliminates internal reflections, ensuring clear thermal imaging in complete darkness without external light sources.

Image quality is enhanced by Lightfinder 2.0, which optimizes sensor performance in low-light conditions, and Forensic WDR technology, which preserves critical details in backlit or high-contrast environments. The rugged IP66/IP67 rated housing withstands rain, dust, and moisture ingress, while the IK10 rating protects against intentional and accidental impact damage.

For cybersecurity, Axis Edge Vault provides secure device authentication and encrypted storage of sensitive data at the hardware level. The camera supports multiple codec formats including H.264 and H.265, with Zipstream compression technology enabling efficient bandwidth utilization without sacrificing image quality.

Applications

• Perimeter protection and boundary monitoring
• Critical infrastructure surveillance
• Public safety and law enforcement
• Airport and transportation hubs
• Industrial facility monitoring
• Parking areas and access control points
