The AXIS Q6315-LE PTZ Camera is a sophisticated surveillance device designed for comprehensive monitoring with advanced pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities. This camera offers a range of features for installation, image adjustment, video recording, event management, and secure operation, making it suitable for various security applications.
The AXIS Q6315-LE PTZ Camera functions primarily as a network-connected pan, tilt, and zoom camera, providing live video streaming and recording. It is equipped with IR illumination for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, automatically shifting to night mode when ambient light diminishes. This allows the camera to capture brighter and more detailed black-and-white images by utilizing both visible and near-infrared light. The camera supports various video compression formats, including H.264 and H.265, to optimize bandwidth and storage efficiency while maintaining image quality.
A key function of this device is its ability to adjust the camera view through pan, tilt, and zoom movements. This allows users to remotely control the camera's field of view, focusing on specific areas of interest. The camera also supports guard tours, which enable it to display video streams from different preset positions in a predetermined or random order for configurable periods. This feature is particularly useful for automated surveillance of large areas.
The AXIS Q6315-LE PTZ Camera integrates with AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP), an open platform that allows third-party developers to create and deploy analytics and other applications. This extensibility enhances the camera's functionality, enabling specialized features like autotracking. With autotracking, the camera can automatically zoom in on and follow moving objects, such as vehicles or people, within defined trigger areas. This is especially effective in open areas with minimal obstructions and unusual movement patterns.
Security is a core function, with the camera incorporating a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide cryptographic features and protect information from unauthorized access. The device also supports secure password management and encrypted HTTPS connections to safeguard data and services.
The camera offers a user-friendly web interface for easy access and configuration. Upon initial access, users are guided to set a secure root password, ensuring immediate protection of the device. The webpage overview provides a clear layout with controls for live view, video, and settings.
For image adjustment, users can fine-tune settings such as day and night mode thresholds, IR illumination, and blur-noise trade-off to optimize image quality in varying light conditions. The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) feature allows for clear visibility in scenes with strong backlighting, making both dark and bright areas discernible. The pixel counter is a practical tool for verifying that specific parts of the image meet required pixel resolutions, useful for tasks like license plate recognition.
Privacy masks are a crucial usage feature, allowing users to define areas within the video stream that are hidden from view, appearing as solid blocks of color. These masks are relative to the pan, tilt, and zoom coordinates, ensuring that the masked area remains consistent regardless of camera movement. Overlays, including text and images, can be superimposed on the video stream to provide additional information, such as timestamps or custom messages triggered by events. For instance, a text overlay can display "Motion detected" when the camera senses movement.
Event management is highly flexible, enabling users to create rules that trigger specific actions based on various conditions. For example, the camera can be configured to start recording to an SD card a few seconds before motion is detected and stop a minute after. Another powerful rule allows the camera to direct itself to a preset position when motion is detected, or even zoom in on a specific area automatically using the gatekeeper functionality, such as focusing on a license plate as a car passes through a gate. Shock detection is also a usage feature, allowing the camera to detect tampering caused by vibrations or shock and trigger actions like recording video clips of the event.
For video recording, the camera supports both network storage and SD card storage. Users can easily start and stop recordings from the live view and access stored recordings for playback. Bitrate control features, such as Variable Bitrate (VBR) and Maximum Bitrate (MBR), allow users to manage bandwidth consumption and prioritize image quality or frame rate according to system requirements.
The AXIS Q6315-LE PTZ Camera includes several maintenance features to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Regular cleaning is recommended, using mild, solvent-free soap or detergent and a soft cloth. Users are advised to avoid harsh detergents like gasoline or benzene and to clean the device out of direct sunlight or elevated temperatures to prevent stains. Compressed air can be used to remove dust and loose dirt.
Firmware management is a critical maintenance aspect. Axis offers firmware updates through active and long-term support (LTS) tracks. The active track provides access to the latest features, while the LTS track focuses on bug fixes and security updates, ideal for third-party integrations. Users can check the current firmware version through the web interface and upgrade it by downloading the latest firmware file from the Axis support website. The upgrade process is designed to retain preconfigured and customized settings, provided the features are available in the new firmware. AXIS Device Manager can be used for managing multiple device upgrades efficiently.
In case of technical issues, the camera provides troubleshooting guidance. A factory default reset option is available, which restores all settings, including the IP address, to their original values. This can be initiated by pressing and holding the control and power buttons. The device also offers solutions for common problems like firmware upgrade failures, IP address conflicts, and issues with accessing the device or streaming video. For instance, if the IP address is being used by another device, troubleshooting steps involve disconnecting the camera and using a ping command to verify the IP address availability. If the device is accessible locally but not externally, Axis recommends using applications like AXIS Companion or AXIS Camera Station for Windows.
The manual also highlights performance considerations, advising users on how various settings and situations, such as image resolution, compression levels, number of simultaneous viewers, and event settings, can affect bandwidth and frame rate. This information helps users optimize their system for desired performance. For further assistance, Axis provides contact support information.
