“Because of the identical form factor as Axis Q1755, it is possible to easily upgrade existing video surveillance installation with Axis’ latest technology,” says Erik Frännlid, Axis’ Director of Product Management. “Axis Q1775 can also easily be integrated with other products such as explosion-protected camera housings and pan/tilt solutions.”

The outdoor-ready Axis Q1775-E is designed for security installations on buildings for monitoring entrances, exits and perimeters, and for pole mounting for video surveillance of parking lots or general city surveillance purposes. Axis’ Arctic Temperature Control allows the IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X-rated Axis Q1775-E to operate at temperatures as low as -40 °C (-40 °F).

“Network cameras are smart devices. Intelligent video analytics allow operators to not only use video surveillance for analysis after an incident has occurred but also to auto-detect and then manage the situation as incidents unfold,” says Erik Frännlid. “The earlier operators are alerted to an incident, the more time they have to react. Often incidents start with an unusual sound. This can be a scream, an explosion or gunshot. Sounds are not detected by video analytics - but they are by audio analytics. The Axis Q1775 and Axis Q1775-E offer high-quality audio functionality for a variety of audio analytics applications from Axis partners.”

Axis Q1775 and Axis Q1775-E offer motion detection, active tampering alarm, shock detection and Gatekeeper-functionality (guarding a gate and zooming in on detected objects). They deliver multiple individually configurable H.264 and motion JPEG video streams at full frame rate and offer edge recording for optional on-camera storage of video footage. The cameras also support intelligent video applications, such as people counting, and Axis Camera Application Platform and Axis Video Hosting System, as well as open programming interfaces for software integration, including ONVIF.
