Axis to showcase AXIS Q1659 Network Camera at Intersec 2017
Network video specialist Axis is to showcase the AXIS Q1659 Network Camera at Intersec in Dubai – a camera which is said to set a new standard for image quality in video surveillance, by combining Canon professional photographic imaging technologies with its proven performance and integration benefits.
The camera features a high-performance image sensor and Canon EF/EF-S lenses with the full range of Axis flexibility, ease-of-use and efficiency features to provide exceptional image quality in extreme detail for a range of surveillance needs. It is said to be an ideal offering for detailed surveillance over long distances for cities, airports, transportation, stadiums and other open areas.
The company claims that it’s first to combine professional-caliber photographic imaging technology from Canon with its proven security offering. It brings a new level of ultra-high image quality for a fixed, wide-area surveillance camera, and leverages leading- edge image sensor and EF lens technologies for unmatched color, contrast and detail even in the most challenging lighting conditions, the company says.
Axis Global Product Manager Olof Leidecker commented:
“This camera is truly a best of both worlds approach: The world-class image quality Canon is known for with its professional-level photography technology and Axis’ market- leading security systems that deliver everything required for a complete, flexible and easy-to-manage installation. In addition to the extreme level of quality and detail, the Q1659 can, thanks to its broad VMS support, be quickly integrated with existing security environments.”
The Q1659 promises to deliver 20MP resolution at 8 frames per second (fps), achieving unprecedented levels of detail for observing open spaces and across long distances, Axis says. It features digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) imaging technology and offers a choice of 7 different EF/EF-S lenses depending on individual user needs. Equipped with an EF lens mount, the camera also enables easy lens changes.

The Q1659 is supported by the industry’s largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner (ADP) Program and AXIS Camera Station. Third-party video analytics applications can be installed on the camera via AXIS Camera Application Platform. ONVIF support allows for easy integration into existing video surveillance systems.
The new camera also offers the latest enhancement of Axis’ Zipstream technology, which offers even more storage and bandwidth savings in video surveillance applications without compromising on important image details. In addition, an SFP slot for optional fiber connectivity gives the ability to connect to the network over long distances.
The Q1659 is expected to be available in Q1 2017 through Axis distribution channels.
