Sometimes you need a slow, steady pan. Other times it’s important to be on the spot in a flash. With the responsive AXIS Q8685-E PTZ Network Camera, you set the pace for unobstructed and far-reaching surveillance of expansive outdoor areas.
Swift and Smooth
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. 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.
Ground-to-Sky View
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°. If the need is to tilt upwards, up to +90°, this can be achieved by mounting the camera housing in an inverted configuration on the positioning unit. The inverted configuration gives a tilt range of -45° to +90°.
Far and Wide
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 and illuminator bracket 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.
Operate with Total Confidence
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.
AXIS Q8685–E PTZ Network Camera
For unobstructed view and details
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.

a. The camera housing can be mounted in an inverted configuration if tilting directly
upwards is preferred.
b. Internal heaters to defrost ice build-up, activated by HTTP API (VAPIX).
c. Pan and tilt motors actively compensate for changes in load conditions induced
by external forces such as high winds. This allows minimum power consumption
at low wind.
d. This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the
OpenSSL Toolkit. (www.openssl.org), and cryptographic software written by Eric
Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
e. Memory of all IP data and home position retained, and guard tour and other events
resumed.
f. If the network link is established via both the SFP and RJ45 connectors, the former
acts as the primary link and the latter as the failover link.
g. The values shown are based on results from actual wind tunnel testing. The
maximum wind load when the unit is stationary is not known due to wind speed
limit of 60 m/s (135 mph) at the test lab. For drag force calculations, use maximum
effective projected area (EPA).
h. Excluding front window.
i. When using the 22 m (72 ft) AXIS Cable 24 V DC/24–240 V AC, a power supply
capable of delivering 400 W isrequired to compensate for the power lossin the cable.
