Built on ARTPEC-8, AXIS Q3538-LVE offers advanced features and powerful applications based on deep learning. This robust camera can withstand the harshest weather conditions and the most powerful impacts.
AXIS Q3538-LVE offers outstanding image quality and forensic details in superior 4K resolution—even in the harshest weather and environments. Featuring OptimizedIR and an innovative IR-shielded dome, it prevents IR reflections from rain, and snow ensuring consistently clear, sharp images. With Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, it delivers true colors and great detail in challenging light or near darkness. And electronic image stabilization keeps the picture steady when the camera is subject to vibrations. Furthermore, Zipstream and support for H.264/H.265 reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, while preserving high image quality.
Powerful analytics capabilities
Built on ARTPEC-8, this high-performance camera offers advanced analytics based on deep learning on the edge. Featuring a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), it eliminates the need for expensive servers and allows for a faster and more scalable system. Plus, it improves processing capabilities so you can collect and analyze even more data than before—on the edge. AXIS Object Analytics offers detection and classification of humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles—all tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, with support for ACAP version 4, you can add value to your system with tailor-made applications based on deep learning on the edge available from Axis and our partners.
Enclosed in a metal casing, this robust, IK10+-rated outdoor-ready camera is protected against redirection, defocusing, and impacts and can withstand temperatures as low as -50 °C and as high as 60 °C (-58 ºF to 140 ºF). Including sensors for intrusion and shock detection it’s also packed with built-in cybersecurity features to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard your system. This top-of-the-line camera offers easy installation, maintenance, and operation including flexible cable management and a built-in gyro sensor enabling leveling assistant and auto rotation. Furthermore, if there's a power outage, redundant power help ensure a reliable power supply to safeguard the system.
