AXIS Q3518-LVE Network Camera

Are you looking for a discreet and robust network outdoor camera that delivers superior performance even in complex light conditions and in extreme temperatures? Weatherproof AXIS Q3518-LVE Network Camera can withstand the harshest weather conditions and the most powerful impacts and still capture unparalleled video. Because it’s loaded with advanced functionality that supports all your surveillance needs.

AXIS Q3518-LVE is designed to be reliable under rough conditions and in harsh climates. It can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -50 °C to 60 °C (-58 °F to 140 °F). It comes with a weathershield that protects against sun, rain and snow, and its IP66-, IP67-, and NEMA 4X-rated casing also protects against water, corrosion and dust.

Electronic image stabilization keeps the picture steady when the camera is exposed to vibrations. The casing is also vandal resistant with IK10+ rating. And what’s more, even if there is a power outage, redundant DC power and Power over Ethernet helps ensure a reliable power supply to safeguard all your mission critical surveillance.

The installation and maintenance is made easy with several helpful tools such as leveling assistant, auto rotation, remote zoom and focus. AXIS Q3518-LVE also features flexible cable management and easy conduit connection.

AXIS Q3518-LVE

Outdoor-ready fixed dome for solid performance in 4K

AXIS Q3518-LVE Network Camera is a vandal-resistant fixed dome for harsh environments with a weathershield
protecting against sun, rain and snow. Thanks to its top-quality image sensor, Forensic WDR, Lightfinder technology,
and OptimizedIR illumination, the camera provides unparalleled video quality in any light conditions. Electronic
image stabilization is instrumental for smooth and steady video when the camera is subject to vibrations.
AXIS Q3518-LVE offers redundancy between Power over Ethernet and DC power. Video analytics, supervised inputs
and digital outputs further support the surveillance task.
