Axis Q3518-LVE IP Security Camera Indoor & outdoor Dome Black,White 3840 x 2160 pixelsHigh‑definition IP dome camera offering 3840×2160 4K video, day‑and‑night IR illumination, and weather‑sealed design for reliable indoor or outdoor surveillance with versatile mounting options
The Axis Q3518-LVE is a high‑performance, 4K (3840 × 2160) dome camera designed for both indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its robust construction, advanced imaging capabilities, and extensive network features make it an ideal choice for security professionals seeking reliable, crystal‑clear video in demanding environments.
The camera’s dome form factor combines a sleek 18.3 cm diameter with a lightweight 2 kg weight, allowing easy mounting on walls or ceilings. The housing is crafted from aluminium and polycarbonate, providing a durable shell that meets the IK10 impact rating and the IP67 ingress protection standard. This ensures resistance to dust, water, and accidental drops, making it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions.
With an integrated shock‑resistant design, the Q3518-LVE can withstand vibrations and mechanical stress without compromising image quality. The camera also features a mounting bracket included option, simplifying installation on various surfaces.
The heart of the Q3518-LVE is its 1/1.7" CMOS sensor, delivering exceptional low‑light performance and high dynamic range. The sensor’s optical size (25.4 mm) allows for a wide field of view while maintaining sharp detail across the frame.
Resolution & Frame Rate: The camera captures video at up to 3840 × 2160 pixels** (4K UHD)**, with a smooth 30 frames per second. This high resolution is ideal for detailed monitoring and post‑incident analysis.
Lens & Focal Length: Equipped with a fixed lens offering a focal length range of 4.3 mm to 8.6 mm** (1.5× zoom)**, the camera provides a versatile field of view suitable for both wide‑angle and moderate‑zoom applications.
Low Light & Night Vision: The Q3518-LVE incorporates an IR LED array at 850 nm wavelength**, enabling night vision up to **40 meters**. With a minimum illumination requirement of just 0.03 lux**, the camera remains effective in very low‑light environments.
Image Quality Adjustments: Operators can fine‑tune image output through on‑camera controls for brightness, color depth, contrast, and sharpness**. White balance is also available to ensure accurate colour representation under varying lighting conditions.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)**: The camera’s WDR capability balances bright and dark areas within the same frame, preventing over‑exposure or loss of detail in high‑contrast scenes.
PTZ Digital Control**: While the lens is fixed, the Q3518-LVE supports digital PTZ functions, allowing software to simulate pan, tilt, and zoom for flexible viewing angles without mechanical movement.
Image Stabilization**: Built‑in stabilization reduces motion blur caused by camera shake or environmental vibrations, ensuring crisp footage even in dynamic settings.
Text Overlay & Graphics Support**: The device can superimpose text onto live video feeds and supports graphic resolutions up to 3840 × 2160, facilitating real‑time alerts and branding.
The Q3518-LVE offers robust wired connectivity:
The camera’s firmware supports a wide array of network services: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/SFTP, SMTP (email alerts), SNMP v1/v2c/v3, NTP, RTSP/RTP for streaming, and many others. This extensive protocol support facilitates seamless integration with existing security systems.
The Q3518-LVE can be powered via DC input** or PoE**, offering flexibility in installation scenarios. Power consumption is efficient: the camera draws a maximum of 13.4 W, with PoE operation typically requiring around 12.6 W.
The device includes a 512 MB flash memory** for firmware and configuration storage. For local recording, it supports MicroSD (TransFlash), MicroSDHC, and MicroSDXC cards**, allowing on‑site video archiving without network dependency.
The Q3518-LVE features an integrated microphone with support for multiple audio codecs: ADPCM, G.711, G.726, LC-AAC, LPCM, and PCM. This enables two‑way communication or ambient sound monitoring when paired with compatible software.
To protect against unauthorized access, the camera offers:
The Q3518-LVE’s firmware is available in eleven languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian. This global language support simplifies deployment across diverse regions.
The camera includes a quick installation guide** and supports pre‑set points for PTZ control, simplifying setup in complex environments. Its durable construction reduces maintenance frequency, while the built‑in diagnostics aid in troubleshooting network or hardware issues.
The Axis Q3518-LVE IP Security Camera delivers a powerful combination of 4K imaging, robust outdoor durability, extensive connectivity options, and advanced security features. Whether deployed in high‑traffic retail spaces, critical infrastructure sites, or expansive outdoor perimeter monitoring, this camera provides reliable, crystal‑clear video that meets the demands of modern surveillance operations.
