The AXIS Q60-E Series, including the AXIS Q6074-E and AXIS Q6075-E PTZ Network Cameras, is a sophisticated surveillance device designed for comprehensive monitoring and recording. This camera offers a range of features for image adjustment, video streaming, storage, and event-triggered actions, making it suitable for various security applications.
The AXIS Q60-E Series camera functions primarily as a Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) network camera, capable of capturing high-quality video streams. It supports multiple video compression formats, including Motion JPEG, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC), and H.265 (MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC), allowing users to balance image quality with bandwidth and storage efficiency. The camera is equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for enhanced cryptographic security, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. It also supports AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP), an open platform for third-party analytics and applications, expanding its functionality beyond basic surveillance.
The camera offers extensive usage features to optimize surveillance and monitoring. Users can easily find the device on the network using AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager and access its web interface through various browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. A secure password for the root account is crucial for initial setup, with recommendations for strong, regularly changed passwords to protect data.
Image adjustment features are robust, allowing users to fine-tune the camera's view. Focus recall areas can be created to save specific focus settings at different pan/tilt ranges, which is particularly useful in scenarios with frequent manual operation, changing focus settings, or low-light conditions. The camera supports a night mode, automatically shifting to black-and-white images using both visible and near-infrared light as ambient light diminishes, providing brighter and more detailed images in low-light conditions. Users can adjust the threshold for this shift and reduce noise by modifying shutter speed and gain settings. Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functionality helps handle scenes with strong backlighting, making both dark and bright areas visible.
For specialized applications, the camera can be configured to improve license plate recognition by adjusting pixel resolution, shutter speed, gain, and zoom. Privacy masks can be created to hide specific parts of the image from being monitored, appearing as solid color blocks or mosaic patterns in all video streams and snapshots. Overlays, such as text or images, can be superimposed on the video stream to provide additional information like timestamps or custom messages, and can even be triggered by events like motion detection. The camera can also display pan or tilt positions as text overlays.
PTZ functionalities are central to the camera's operation. Users can limit pan, tilt, and zoom movements to exclude certain areas from surveillance, such as private residences near a monitored parking lot. Guard tours can be set up to display video streams from different preset positions in a predetermined or random order, with configurable pause lengths between each tour. The gatekeeper functionality allows the camera to automatically zoom in on a specific area, like a license plate at a gate entrance, and then return to a home position once the event has passed.
Video recording and storage are flexible. Users can set up network storage or use an installed SD card for recordings. Bandwidth and storage can be optimized through bitrate control, offering options like Variable Bitrate (VBR) for constant image quality with varying bandwidth, or Maximum Bitrate (MBR) to cap bandwidth consumption, potentially affecting image quality or frame rate. Average Bitrate (ABR) adjusts bitrate over time to meet specified targets based on available storage and retention time.
The camera's event management system allows for the creation of rules to trigger actions based on various conditions. For example, the camera can be configured to record video when motion is detected, directing it to a preset position. It can also detect tampering through shock detection, triggering recordings or other actions if vibrations or impacts occur. Furthermore, the camera can send email notifications if the lens is spray-painted, covered, or severely out of focus, using the "Trigger on dark images" feature.
Maintaining the AXIS Q60-E Series camera is straightforward. For general cleaning, mild, solvent-free soap or detergent can be used with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals like gasoline or benzene. Compressed air can remove dust or loose dirt. It's important to avoid cleaning in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures to prevent stains.
Troubleshooting options are available through the web interface and physical buttons. The device can be reset to factory default settings by pressing and holding the control and power buttons, which is useful for resolving configuration issues or regaining control after a security attack. Firmware management is supported, with options for active or long-term support (LTS) tracks, allowing users to choose between the latest features or a stable platform with bug fixes and security updates. Firmware upgrades are performed through the web interface, with settings preserved if the features are available in the new firmware. The camera also provides indicators for network connection and operational status via LED lights. The SD card slot is designed for easy access, with warnings against using sharp tools or removing the card while the product is running to prevent damage or data loss.
