Purpose of Use

The AXIS Q1728-LE is intended for professional surveillance applications where 4K image detail, low-light performance, rugged outdoor construction and flexible lens selection are required.

Typical applications include:

• Perimeter surveillance
• Wide-area monitoring
• Long-distance observation
• Vehicle monitoring
• Entrance and exit surveillance
• Industrial site security
• Critical infrastructure protection
• Parking and yard surveillance
• Logistics facility monitoring
• Outdoor incident investigation
• High-detail forensic video recording

Important Operational Notes

✔ Select the correct wide or 48 mm lens version according to surveillance distance and required field of view.

✔ 4K recording at high frame rates can generate substantial network traffic and storage requirements. VMS, network and storage capacity should be planned accordingly.

✔ AV1 compatibility should be verified with the intended VMS, browser, decoder and playback infrastructure.

✔ Built-in IR assists low-light surveillance, but actual effective performance depends on scene conditions, target distance, lens configuration and installation.

✔ Electronic Image Stabilization can help improve usable footage in installations affected by vibration or movement.

✔ PoE infrastructure should provide the required Class 4 power budget.

✔ Camera placement and lens selection should be planned according to the required detection, recognition and identification objectives.
