2 Product brief
AXIS Q6032-E PTZ Dome Network Camera is an outdoor-ready, high-performance PTZ dome
designed for quick, easy and reliable installation in demanding surveillance applications. It is
ideal for use at airports and seaports, as well as for city and perimeter surveillance. Key features
include:
Outdoor-ready
AXIS Q6032-E is designed for quick and easy installation in demanding indoor and
outdoor environments. There is no need to purchase and mount a separate outdoor
housing. It eliminates the cost and complexity of pre-mounting a camera in an enclosure
and minimizes the risk of incorrect mounting, which helps to ensure optimal camera
performance.
With an IP66 rating, it is dust tight and offers protection against high-pressure water
jets. AXIS Q6032-E has a built-in heater, fans and a removable sunshield, allowing the
camera to be used in temperatures ranging from -40 °C up to 50 °C (-40 °F up to 122
°F).
Arctic Temperature Control
Arctic Temperature Control is a new and unique functionality from Axis that is
introduced for the first time in AXIS Q6032-E. It allows the camera to not only function
at -40 °C (-40 °F) but also power up at that temperature.
High PoE (Power over Ethernet)
AXIS Q6032-E is powered through High PoE, which simplifies installation since only
one cable is needed for carrying power, as well as video and pan/tilt/zoom controls.
With High PoE, the camera can operate even during a power failure as the network can
be connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply. A High PoE midspan is supplied
with the camera.
35x zoom with autofocus
AXIS Q6032-E offers a powerful 35x optical and 12x digital zoom with autofocus,
providing crisp, clear and rich detail of both zoomed in and zoomed out images.
License plates, for example, can be clearly read from a distance of 160 m (525 ft.).
Multiple H.264 and Motion JPEG streams
AXIS Q6032-E supports 3 simultaneous, individually configured streams in max. 4CIF
resolution at 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) frames per second; more streams if identical or limited
in frame rate/resolution. H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC) offers the most efficient video
compression format, which saves up to 80% in bandwidth and storage use compared
