AXIS Q16 Network Camera Series comprises of indoor and outdoor-ready xed cameras that deliver
outstanding image quality in demanding video surveillance conditions, such as poor light or highly
variable lighting.
The unique Lightnder technology makes AXIS Q1602/-E
cameras extremely sensitive to low light, eectively
allowing the cameras to ‘see’ even in dark conditions.
The Wide Dynamic Range with ‘dynamic capture’ allows
AXIS Q1604/-E to provide homogeneous images, without too dark or too bright parts.
AXIS Q16 Series ranges from extended D1 resolution
cameras to 1-megapixel AXIS Q1604 and AXIS Q1604-E
cameras, which also provide HDTV 720p video.
Installation is made easy with Power over Ethernet
(PoE, IEEE 802.3af), which eliminates the need for
power cables. The cameras also have an SD/SDHC
memory card slot for storing recordings locally.
The IP66-rated outdoor-ready models, AXIS Q1602-E
and AXIS Q1604-E cameras, operate in temperatures
from -40 ºC to 50 ºC (-40 ºF to 122 ºF) using High PoE.
They feature Axis’ unique Arctic Temperature Control to
pre-heat the camera module for securing start up even
at very low temperatures following a power failure.

Low-light sensitive and wide dynamic range
cameras for indoor and outdoor use
AXIS Q16 Series oers outstanding xed network cameras with features to handle demanding
application requirements. AXIS Q1602/-E are suitable for environments with poor light conditions, and AXIS Q1604/-E are suitable for surveillance in highly variable lighting conditions.
Easy installation with focus assistant,
remote back focus and pixel counter
Setting the focus on AXIS Q16 Series is made easy with
the focus assistant, which indicates with a ashing
green LED when an image is in focus after manually
adjusting the lens. Additionally, it oers remote back
focus, which allows the focus to be ne-tuned from a
computer. The pixel counter further helps the installer
verify that the pixel resolution of an object fullls
regulatory or customer requirements, for example, for
facial identication.
Lightnder technology
AXIS Q1602/-E incorporate Axis’ revolutionary Lightnder technology. The outstanding performance in
low light is the result of well-founded decisions regarding the sensor and lens combined with carefully
tuned image processing. Compared with any analog or
network cameras, the Lightnder technology will give
more life-like colors in low-light conditions. The noise
reduction of the Lightnder technology is vastly improved compared with any surveillance camera on the
market, which in combination with the light sensitivity
of the sensor gives a superior image quality. For more

Wide Dynamic Range - dynamic capture
AXIS Q1604/-E Network Cameras with ‘dynamic
capture’ oer ideal solutions for surveillance in highly
variable lighting conditions, for instance when light
comes through a glass window or entrance creating
both dark and bright zones. In these demanding scenarios, AXIS Q1604/-E allow the user to easily and
clearly identify both people and objects. Wide Dynamic
Range with ‘dynamic capture’ works by acquiring several images with dierent exposure times. Together
with advanced image processing, the result is video
with exceptional clarity and sharpness, ensuring that
no part of the image is too dark or too bright.
Outdoor-ready models
AXIS Q16-E Network Cameras save installation time
and costs since they are ready out of the box for mounting outdoors. The IP66-rated cameras have protection
against dust, rain, snow and sunlight, and can operate
in temperatures as low as -40 ºC (-40 ºF). The cameras
are powered by Power over Ethernet, which makes installation easy since there is no need for a separate
power cable. An integrated dehumidifying membrane
eliminates humidity caught in the camera enclosure
during installation. The cameras enable easy mounting of an infrared illuminator under the enclosure. They
come with a wall mount bracket and a sunshield.
