AXIS Q8742-E Bispectral PTZ Network Camera
VGA thermal and visual surveillance in one
Overview
AXIS Q8742-E Network Camera is a positioning camera that brings a powerful – and cost effective – combination of visual and thermal video streams in a single PTZ camera to border surveillance and other applications with similar requirements.
A Winning Combination
AXIS Q8742-E gives you two excellent cameras in one: a thermal camera with outstanding contrast in 640×480 resolution for reliable detection and verification around-the-clock and in all weather and light conditions. And an exceptionally light-sensitive visual camera in HDTV 1080p with integrated 30x optical zoom for identification purposes.
The visual camera also has Wide Dynamic Range – Forensic Capture for clarity and detail in scenes with both dark and light areas. And Focus recall for instant focus in areas you define. With AXIS Q8742-E Zoom, you get 3x thermal zoom allowing you to detect a human as far as 3 km (3342 yards), according to Johnson’s criteria.. See the detection range table below for detailed information. The long-distance detection is useful for mission critical usage, such as detecting vehicles or intruders from far.
Swift, Smooth 360° Coverage
AXIS Q8742-E lets operators choose between really slow or super-fast pan (from 0.05 to 120 degrees per second) and tilt movement (from 0.05 to 65 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 can withstand high winds when it’s standing still and winds of up to 37-meter per second (83 mph) when it’s in motion. And an SFP slot means it supports long-distance fiber-optic connection.
Single-unit Savings
AXIS Q8742-E is a highly cost-effective solution. You need just one camera and one IP address to benefit from long-distance thermal detection, visual identification and PTZ capabilities. Which means lower purchase, installation and operational costs. In addition, Axis Zipstream technology reduces storage and bandwidth needs with up to 50% or more while ensuring that important details are captured in full image quality.
Fast and Easy
Its slim design and many available accessories let you install it anywhere you want. It has an SFP slot, so it supports cost-effective, long-distance fiber-optic connection . And maintenance is made simple by a remote-control cleaning system that features long-life wipers. A 22 meter (72 feet) long, heavy-duty power cable is available as optional accessory. Designed for outdoor use, the cable has 3-wire, 12AWG and a jacket diameter of 10 mm (0.4 in).

AXIS Q8742-E Bispectral PTZ Network Camera
for reliable detection and verification around-the-clock and in all weather and light conditions and an exceptionally
light-sensitive visual camera for identification purposes. Designed for continuous, jerk-free pan and tilt movements.
Easy to control and install with one IP address and multiple mounting options. The camera offers a tilt view of 45° above
the horizon, and when column-mounted, it enables 360° unobstructed field of view.
> Reliable detection, fast verification and identification
> Bispectral video streams
> Easy to install with one IP address
> Responsive positioning 360° endless pan and 135° from ground to sky
> Long-distance network connection

appropriate local export control authorities.
a. Internal heaters to defrost ice build-up, activated by HTTP API (VAPIX).
b. 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.
c. 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).
d. IP data and home position retained, and guard tour and other events resumed.
e. If a network link is established via both the SFP slot and the RJ45 connector, the
former acts as the primary link and the latter as the fail-over link.
f. The values shown are based on results from actual wind tunnel testing. For drag
force calculations, use maximum effective projected area (EPA).
g. Excluding front window.
h. When using the 22 m (72 ft) AXIS Cable 24 V DC/24–240 V AC, a power supply
capable of delivering 300 W isrequired to compensate for the power lossin the cable
