AXIS Q8685-E (0862-001) 24 V AC/DC PTZ Network Camera

AXIS Q8685-E is a highly responsive and reliable positioning camera, designed for continuous and jerk-free pan/tilt movements (360° endless and 135°from ground to sky). When column-mounted, it enables a 360° unobstructed field of view. AXIS Q8685-E provides HDTV 1080p video quality, 30x zoom, WDR - forensic capture, focus recall and Zipstream. It features both RJ45 and SFP interfaces, enabling a long-distance fiber connection with a failover network link. Capable of operating in extreme temperatures, withstanding hurricane-strength winds and including an integrated long-life wiper removing raindrops, dirt and grime, AXIS Q8685-E is ideal for a wide range of adverse environmental conditions.

AXIS Q8685-E lets operators choose between high-speed and ultra-slow pan and tilt movement – from 0.05 to 120 degrees per second. So they get smooth and jerk-free panoramic viewing when they need it and can respond quickly to events. The camera can be column-mounted, on poles or walls for a 360° panoramic view and a ground-to-sky view from -90° to +45°. It is capable of operating in extreme temperatures, and it can withstand hurricane-strength winds when it’s in motion of up to 47-meter per second (106 mph), and winds over 60-meter per second (135 mph) when it’s in motion and without sunshield.

With 30x optical zoom and superb pan and tilt capabilities, AXIS Q8685-E delivers long-distance identification and the widest possible field of view in every direction. It has Wide Dynamic Range - Forensic Capture for clarity and detail in scenes with both dark and light areas. And it has Focus recall for instant focus in areas you define. In addition, AXIS Q8685-E will also automatically zoom in on objects detected in pre-defined areas thanks to Advanced Gatekeeper. And Axis Radar Autotracking for PTZ provides automatic tracking of detected objects. In addition, white LED illuminators are also available. They can be used to further enhance performance – or as deterrence when used in combination with analytics software that turns them on in response to intruders entering a restricted area.

AXIS Q8685-E’s slim design and many available accessories let you install it anywhere you want. The camera is specially designed to be reliable, robust and weatherproof in diverse conditions. It features SFP slots for cost-effective network connection over long distances. When both the Ethernet and fiber-optic cables are connected, the cameras can be set up in failover mode to create a redundant network link or in daisy-chain mode for connecting multiple devices in sequence.
