Advanced outdoor-ready 4 MP and 8 MP network dome cameras with remote pan-tilt-roll-zoom adjustment, deep-learning analytics and electronic image stabilization.

The AXIS Q3626-VE and AXIS Q3628-VE Dome Cameras are professional network surveillance cameras designed for applications requiring high image quality, flexible remote adjustment and analytics at the edge.

The two cameras share the same 1/1.8-inch progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor, 4.3–8.6 mm varifocal lens and remotely adjustable camera design, while offering different resolution options:

AXIS Q3626-VE — 4 MP

AXIS Q3628-VE — 8 MP

Remote pan, tilt, roll and zoom adjustment allows the camera view to be configured and readjusted over the network. This can be particularly useful where physical access to an installed camera is inconvenient.

The series also incorporates Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR, electronic image stabilization and deep-learning-based analytics capabilities.

Its metal enclosure is IK10 rated, while Axis Edge Vault provides hardware-based protection for the device and secure key storage.

Remote Pan-Tilt-Roll-Zoom Adjustment

A particularly useful characteristic of the Q3626-VE and Q3628-VE is the ability to remotely adjust the camera angle over the network.

Rather than relying entirely on manual physical adjustment after installation, the viewing direction can be configured and later readjusted remotely.

This can simplify commissioning and subsequent changes where the monitored area evolves.

Remote adjustment should not be confused with a conventional continuously operated PTZ surveillance camera. The feature is primarily useful for installation and camera-view adjustment.

4.3–8.6 mm Varifocal Lens

The supplied lens provides:

Focal length: 4.3–8.6 mm

Aperture: F1.5–2.4

Horizontal field of view: 103°–52°

Vertical field of view: 56°–30°

Minimum focus distance: 0.5 m

The wider setting can provide broader scene coverage, while adjustment toward the narrower field of view can concentrate the image on a more specific area.

The correct setting depends on the required viewing distance, scene width and level of detail.

Lightfinder 2.0

Axis Lightfinder 2.0 is designed to support usable images and color information under challenging low-light conditions.

Low-light performance should still be evaluated against the actual environment because available illumination, movement, mounting position and camera settings all affect the resulting image.

Forensic WDR

Forensic WDR is intended for scenes containing both bright and dark areas.

Examples may include:

Entrances with strong exterior daylight

Windows within indoor scenes

Loading areas

Parking environments

Building entrances and exits

Mixed artificial and natural lighting

The objective is to preserve useful scene detail where conventional exposure may otherwise make either bright or dark areas difficult to observe.

Electronic Image Stabilization

Electronic image stabilization can help reduce the visual effects of camera movement or vibration.

This can be useful for certain exposed installations or environments where vibration may affect the stability of recorded images.

The mounting structure itself should nevertheless be appropriately selected and secured.

Deep-Learning Analytics

The AXIS Q3626-VE and Q3628-VE support analytics based on deep learning at the edge.

Included Analytics

AXIS Image Health Analytics
Helps identify image-quality conditions that could affect monitoring.

AXIS Live Privacy Shield
Provides dynamic privacy masking functionality.

AXIS Object Analytics
AI-based analytics for detecting and classifying moving objects.

AXIS Scene Metadata
Provides structured scene information that can support analysis and forensic search.

AXIS Speed Monitor
Can visualize relevant radar data and provide actionable information when used within a compatible solution.

AXIS Video Motion Detection
Supports video-based motion detection.

Supported Analytics

AXIS License Plate Verifier
Supports license-plate recognition applications when correctly configured for a suitable scene.

AXIS Perimeter Defender
Designed for applicable perimeter-protection scenarios.

Analytics suitability should always be assessed according to the scene, installation geometry, target objects, lighting and required outcome.

Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity

The cameras incorporate Axis Edge Vault, Axis' hardware-based cybersecurity platform.

The supplied product information identifies secure cryptographic key storage with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification.

Device security remains only one component of a surveillance cybersecurity strategy. Network architecture, firmware management, account permissions, passwords, remote access and VMS security should also be properly managed.

Applications

The AXIS Q3626-VE and Q3628-VE may be considered for:

Commercial buildings

Corporate facilities

Retail environments

Warehouses

Logistics facilities

Building entrances

Public facilities

Transportation environments

Parking areas

Perimeter observation

Industrial facilities

Other professional network surveillance installations

Actual suitability depends on the required image detail, field of view, lighting, analytics and system design.

Purpose of Use

These cameras are intended for professional surveillance applications where remote camera-view adjustment, varifocal optics, advanced imaging and edge analytics can simplify installation and ongoing system management.

The choice between the two models should primarily consider the required resolution:

Q3626-VE — 4 MP

Q3628-VE — 8 MP

Higher resolution is not automatically the better choice for every installation. Storage, bandwidth, scene requirements and actual identification objectives should also be considered.

Q3626-VE or Q3628-VE – Which Should You Consider?

The principal distinction in the supplied information is resolution:

AXIS Q3626-VE: 4 MP

AXIS Q3628-VE: 8 MP

Consider the Q3626-VE where 4 MP provides the necessary scene detail and the objective is to use the Q36 platform's remote adjustment, imaging and analytics capabilities.

Consider the Q3628-VE where the surveillance design genuinely benefits from 8 MP image resolution.

Before choosing, evaluate:

Required viewing distance

Required identification detail

Scene width

Lighting

Available network bandwidth

Recording storage

Retention period

Analytics requirements

VMS configuration

There is no benefit in selecting additional resolution simply because the specification number is higher if the application does not require it.

Things to Verify Before Ordering

Confirm the exact model required: Q3626-VE or Q3628-VE.

Confirm the correct regional part number.

Confirm whether 4 MP or 8 MP is appropriate.

Verify the required viewing distance.

Verify the required horizontal and vertical coverage.

Check the installation height and angle.

Confirm lighting and low-light conditions.

Confirm analytics requirements.

Check VMS compatibility.

Verify bandwidth and storage requirements.

Confirm PoE and network infrastructure.

Check the required mounting accessory.

Confirm whether a clear or smoked dome is appropriate.

Verify environmental requirements.

Confirm any required surge protection or PoE accessories.

Who Should Consider This Series?

The Q3626-VE / Q3628-VE series may be appropriate for organizations that need a professional fixed-dome surveillance platform but also value the convenience of remote camera-angle adjustment after installation.

It can be particularly useful where cameras are installed in locations that would otherwise require repeated physical access for adjustment.

Customers needing continuous operator-controlled movement and tracking should instead evaluate whether a dedicated PTZ camera is more appropriate.
