Axis Communications announced the launch of its two new fixed network cameras, AXIS Q1604 and AXIS Q1604-E. The new network cameras are created to offer clear surveillance in most of the demanding scenarios like highly variable lighting conditions by identifying both people and objects even when light comes through a glass window or entrance creating both dark and bright zones.
“Adapted for wide dynamic range scenarios, Axis’ exceptional ‘dynamic capture’ capability allows these cameras to handle blinding light and to provide superb images in difficult lighting conditions. AXIS Q1604/-E Network Cameras provide clear images even under backlight conditions where intensity of illumination can vary greatly.” said Baraa Al Akkad, Regional Manager, Middle East, Axis Communications.
Wide Dynamic Range with ‘dynamic capture’ works by acquiring several images with different exposure times. Together with advanced image processing, the result is video with exceptional clarity and sharpness, ensuring that no part of the image is too dark or too bright. This will be especially beneficial in environments where backlight or intense contrasts are an issue. The new AXIS Q1604/-E Network Cameras are perfectly suited for monitoring of entrances, buildings with large windows and tunnel passages, in e.g. airport, train stations, government and city surveillance applications.
The indoor AXIS Q1604 and the outdoor-ready AXIS Q1604-E deliver progressive scan image quality at 1MP/HDTV 720p resolution and multiple, individually configurable H.264 and Motion JPEG video streams simultaneously. The cameras’ other features include day and night functionality, varifocal lens, remote back focus and support for two-way audio.
The IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated AXIS Q1604-E, which comes with a wall mount bracket and a sunshield, is protected from dust, rain, snow and sun, and can operate in temperatures from -40 °C to 50°C.
