“Autofocus is one of the biggest challenges for conventional PTZ cameras today. When the lighting conditions are difficult - such as for example at dusk or dawn - the camera takes longer to autofocus” says Kent Fransson, Global Product Manager, Axis Communications. “Our new laser focus technology allows the camera to measure the distance to objects no matter what the lighting conditions are. This measurement is also much more exact and it is taken in an instant. This means the camera is always focusing optimally, providing clear images at all times.”

The Axis Q6155-E features Sharpdome, a technology which allows for monitoring of objects as much as 20° above the camera horizon. The camera offers HDTV 1080p resolution and 30x optical zoom.

This high-end camera brings sharp images even when weather or lighting conditions are challenging thanks to its laser focus, a new and improved sensor, Axis’ Lightfinder technology and Axis’ Speed Dry function.

The Axis Q6155-E is ideal for city and perimeter surveillance, critical infrastructure, transportation, education, industrial and government installations. Its sleek design, compact size and re-paintable casing allows the camera to blend in with its surroundings. It offers quick and precise pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) and high scene fidelity at all angles of view.  Axis’ Zipstream technology lowers bandwidth and storage requirements while keeping necessary forensic details.

The Axis Q6155-E is planned to be available in Q4 2016 through Axis distribution channels.
