AXIS Q1798-LE combines superior 4K resolution with ultra-high light sensitivity for large-scale surveillance. Including Lightfinder 2.0, it captures outstanding forensic images in low light scenes. Plus, Axis Zipstream enhanced with H.264 and H.265 dramatically lowers bandwidth and storage requirements.

The best of the best

AXIS Q1798-LE includes a powerful, ultra-high light-sensitive 4/3" image sensor that offers 10 MP resolution at up to 20 fps and 4K resolution at up to 30 fps. This means you get excellent forensic images with high pixel density that’s perfect for analytics or third-party facial recognition software. Including a Canon lens with focal length of 12 – 48 mm and great wide-angle views with a horizontal field of view of 90°, it also offers 4x zoom and electronic image stabilization (EIS). AXIS Q1798-LE is ideal for surveillance in wide, open areas for instance at airports, harbors and sports stadiums.

Huge savings on storage and bandwidth

Thanks to Lightfinder 2.0, AXIS Q1798-LE captures images with more realistic and saturated colors and sharper images of moving objects. Even the darkest areas of the scene will be lighter and more colorful. And with Zipstream enhanced with support for H.264 and H.265 it lowers bandwidth and storage requirements like never before. Even at night, when images contain a high level of noise, this one-of-a-kind 4K camera only requires the same bandwidth and storage as regular 1080p cameras. In other words, AXIS Q1798-LE gives you high resolution images, low bandwidth requirements and unprecedented savings. 

Anytime and anywhere

With IP66, IP67and IK10 ratings, this camera handles temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F). Signed firmware and secure boot ensures only authorized firmware is installed and that the firmware hasn't been compromised. And there's no need for extra lighting thanks to Axis OptimizedIR enabling detection in dark scenes for up to 50 m (164 ft) or more. AXIS Q1798-LE includes support for video with sound as well as scene profiles, shock detection, corridor format with auto-rotation and barrel distortion correction for always-great image quality. It even comes with I/O ports for connecting external devices and supervised inputs to notify you if the connection is cut. And if there's a power outage, redundant DC power and PoE help ensure a reliable power supply to safeguard the system.
