Axis Communications presents a strong addition to its line of fixed cameras for outdoor surveillance. The AXIS Q1765-LE has a powerful 18x motorised 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, see film.

“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 Axis Communications South Pacific country manager Wai King Wong.

The AXIS Q1765-LE has built-in high-efficient automatically adaptive infra-red LEDs. The IR LEDs allow the camera to cover at least 15m in the widest field of view and up to 40m 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 is 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 AXIS Q1765-LE perfect 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.

The AXIS Q1765-LE Network Camera is planned to be available in Q4 2013 through Axis distribution channels.
