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-LE PTZ Network Camera, you set the pace for unobstructed and far-reaching surveillance of expansive outdoor areas. AXIS Q8685-LE features IR illumination and built-in optical IR filter, so even complete darkness or challenging mixed lighting conditions are no deterrence.

Swift and smooth

AXIS Q8685-LE 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 52-meter per second (117 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-LE 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-LE 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.

Night and day

AXIS Q8685-LE is equipped with powerful IR LED illuminators for sharp video in complete darkness up to 500 meters (1640 feet) without diverging lens. The illuminators are long-range and long lasting, making AXIS Q8685-LE the right choice for surveillance where there are few or no light sources. Thanks to built-in optical IR-cut and IR-pass filters, AXIS Q8685-LE provides superior image quality even in challenging mixed lighting conditions.
