The outdoor-ready Axis Q1765-LE is designed for monitoring entrances, exits and perimeter, and for pole mounting for surveillance of parking lots or general city surveillance purposes.

The Axis Q1765-LE has a powerful 18x motorized optical zoom for covering long distances and autofocus that provides images in perfect focus. In addition, Axis’ unique Corridor Format allows for effective monitoring of vertical scenes such as long streets or long perimeters.

“Axis Q1765-LE is a slim and solid bullet-style camera designed for outdoor surveillance even in challenging conditions. Its outstanding robustness and reliability makes it especially suitable for critical installations like traffic junctions,” says Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management, Axis Communications.

This new camera has built-in high-efficient automatically adaptive infra-red LEDs. The IR LEDs allow the camera to cover at least 15 metres (50 ft.) in the widest field of view and up to 40 metres (130 ft.) in full tele view. The built-in IR illumination is especially beneficial for installations with the need for around-the-clock surveillance without artificial lighting.

The compact Axis Q1765-LE has been designed to be lightweight yet tough. The camera is IP66/NEMA4X rated, making it resistant to water and dust. The Arctic temperature control capability allows reliable start-up in any temperatures from -40 °C to 50 °C (-40 °F to 122°F), making it ideal for installations in places with challenging weather. The camera is very convenient to install thanks to its light weight, one-cable installation, support for Power over Ethernet and AC/DC power.

Axis plans for this new network camera to be available in Q4 2013.
