AXIS Q1686-DLE Radar-Video Fusion Camera
- Merge vehicle speed and license plate – on the edge 
- Radar tracking of speed and direction 
- Monitor speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph) 
- Reliable license plate capture and recognition 24/7 
- Open platform for third-party software 
This fusion device uses radar to accurately track vehicle speed and 46°–9° horizontal FOV delivers images with the pixel density needed for license plate recognition at high speeds.
Identify vehicles and know their speed
AXIS Q1686-DLE uses radar to reliably monitor vehicle speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph), 24/7. It can monitor vehicles in multiple lanes and accurately detect both speed and direction. And thanks to multiple line-crossing scenario, the same vehicle must cross two virtual lines to trigger an alarm, making the notifications more accurate. With a low false alarm rate, police can act upon reliable alarms and, for instance, quickly stop vehicles driving the wrong way. Based on an open platform, AXIS Q1686-DLE is compatible with traffic monitoring systems and platforms. It can be used to trigger other devices, for instance, a strobe light to warn and deter wrong-way drivers. What’s more, generated metadata can be gathered and visualized in a dashboard for valuable insights.
 
  Identify vehicles going the wrong way
Not only does AXIS Q1686-DLE accurately detect vehicle speed and direction it can also reliably identify an offending vehicle. Featuring a varifocal tele lens with 46°–9° horizontal FOV, this smart fusion device captures images of vehicles traveling in up to two lanes. It delivers sharp, high-resolution images with the pixel density needed for license plate recognition. A built-in license plate capture assistant ensures easy setup for best video performance. And, thanks to a traffic-optimized IR illumination kit, it can capture license plate images in complete darkness up to 50 m (164 ft). Built on an open platform, you can use AXIS Q1686-DLE with license plate recognition software to connect the speed and direction to a specific license plate. This enables reliable identification of a vehicle, on the edge– in the camera itself.
 
  Easy to install and configure
This innovative, cost-effective device combines a superior Axis Q-line camera with an advanced 60 GHz radar. It offers easy installation with just one device to install, one cable drop, and one IP address. Easy to configure, it’s delivered factory-calibrated with the camera and radar perfectly aligned. And scene profiles automatically adjust the image tuning to your purposes. A built-in license plate capture assistant will automatically adjust the image settings to suit the specific scene. Simply enter the installation height, distance to the vehicle, and the expected speed. Furthermore, smart radar coexistence allows you to install up to eight AXIS Q1686-DLE devices close to each other, ideal for instance at busy traffic intersections or toll plazas.
 
  AXIS Speed Monitor
Display vehicle speeds and collect statistics to make informed decisions for improved road safety. Use AXIS Speed Monitor to seamlessly connect radar to your camera or use stand-alone directly on your Axis radar and stay privacy compliant.
 
  AXIS Radar Integration for Microbus
Easily connect your Axis radar to a digital speed sign from Microbus to display the speed of each passing vehicle. This provides drivers with important feedback and encourages them to stay within the speed limit.
 
  AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ
Automatically control the direction, tracking and zoom-level of one or many pan, tilt, zoom cameras for optimized camera views.

Software Bill of Materials
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a nested inventory list of all components included in the software. It has become an increasingly important and common part of software development lifecycle and processes.
Axis works actively with the principles of openness and building trust through transparency, the SBOM is a valued addition to these principles. It provides information to be able to understand if a device has a certain known cybersecurity vulnerability. For more information about AXIS SBOM, please visit the AXIS OS portal.
