AXIS Q87 Series

Thermal & Visual Surveillance in One

The AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ Camera Series is a range of high-performance thermal network cameras designed for surveillance applications in demanding environments. The cameras can detect people, objects, and incidents in complete darkness and challenging conditions, making them ideal for perimeter protection, border surveillance, and critical infrastructure monitoring.


Key Features and Technologies of the AXIS Q87 Series

  • Bispectral Technology: The cameras feature uncooled thermal technology, allowing them to detect temperature differences as small as 50 mK and provide clear and detailed thermal images even in total darkness.
  • Electronic Image Stabilisation: The cameras offer electronic image stabilization, dynamic contrast, and Axis’ Zipstream technology for optimized bandwidth and storage efficiency.
  • PTZ Capabilities: The cameras have pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities, allowing for smooth, jerk-free panoramic viewing and quick response to events.
  • Thermal Zoom: Thermal zoom models offer 3x thermal zoom, enabling the detection of a human as far as 3 km.
    Visual Identification: The cameras provide visual identification with integrated optical zoom, ideal for perimeter surveillance and border control.
  • Environmental Durability: The cameras are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, with an IP66/67 rating for dust and water resistance, and operate in temperatures from -50º to 55º.
  • Installation Flexibility: The cameras’ slim design and many available accessories allow for installation on columns, poles, or walls, allowing for a 360° panoramic view and a ground-to-sky view from -90° to 45°.

What are the applications of the AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ Camera Series?

The AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ Camera Series is designed for mission-critical surveillance applications that require 24/7 monitoring, particularly in environments where thermal and visual imaging are necessary for effective detection and identification. Some of the critical applications for this camera series include:

  1. Border Surveillance: The cameras are well-suited for border surveillance because they can detect people and objects at long distances, even in complete darkness or challenging weather conditions.
  2. Port Surveillance: The AXIS Q87 series is also ideal for port surveillance, where thermal and visual imaging can help detect and identify potential security threats.
  3. Airport Surveillance: The cameras are intended for mission-critical surveillance that demands 24-hour monitoring of restricted areas, such as airports.
  4. Critical Infrastructure Monitoring: The AXIS Q87 series can monitor critical infrastructure, such as power plants, military bases, and other high-security facilities, where detecting intruders or anomalies is crucial.
  5. Perimeter Protection: The cameras’ long-distance thermal detection and visual identification capabilities make them suitable for perimeter protection of large areas, such as military bases, prisons, and other high-security facilities.

What are the benefits of using the AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ camera series for border surveillance?

The AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ Camera Series offers several benefits for border surveillance applications:

  • 24/7 Mission-Critical Surveillance: The cameras combine visual and thermal video streams in a single PTZ camera, enabling 24/7 surveillance for mission-critical applications such as border surveillance.
  • Long-Distance Thermal Detection: The 3x thermal zoom enables the detection of a human as far as 3km according to Johnson’s criteria.
  • Visual Identification: The cameras provide visual identification with integrated optical zoom, ideal for perimeter surveillance and border control.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: The AXIS Q87 series offers a cost-effective solution requiring only one camera and IP address to benefit from long-distance thermal detection, visual identification, and PTZ capabilities. This results in lower purchase, installation, and operational costs.
  • Easy Installation and Maintenance: The cameras’ slim design and available accessories make installation flexible, and features like an SFP slot for long-distance fibre-optic connection and a remote-control cleaning system simplifies maintenance.
  • Environmental Durability: The cameras are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, with an IP66 and NEMA 4 rating for dust and water resistance, and operate in temperatures from -50º to 55º.
  • Smooth and Jerk-Free Panoramic Viewing: The cameras offer smooth and jerk-free panoramic viewing, and users can choose between slow and fast pan and tilt movement, allowing for quick response to events.
  • High-Wind Resistance: The cameras can withstand high winds when in motion, ensuring continuous operation even in challenging environmental conditions.

These benefits make the AXIS Q87 Bispectral PTZ Camera Series an ideal solution for border surveillance applications that require reliable, long-distance detection and visual identification capabilities.
