SD Card

NOTICE

To prevent corruption of recordings, the SD card should always be unmounted before it is ejected.

The Axis product supports SD cards with the following file systems:

ext4 — recommended due to its resilience against data loss if the card is ejected or if there is abrupt power loss. To access data stored on the card from the Windows operating system, a third-party ext4 driver or application is required.

vFAT — most SD cards are pre-formatted with vFAT when purchased.

If required, the SD card can be manually formatted to the desired file system. To format the SD card:

1.Insert the SD card in the SD card slot.

2.Go to System Options > Storage and click SD Card.

3.Click Format and select the desired file system.

Note

During formatting any previous data stored on the disk will be lost.

Mounting is done automatically when the card is inserted or when the product is started. A manual mount is only required if the card has been unmounted and not ejected and re-inserted.

To unmount the SD card:

1.Go to System Options > Storage and click SD Card.

2.Click Unmount.

3.The card can now be removed.

The SD card is managed on the System Options > Storage page. Click SD Card to open Storage Management.

If the card’s status shows as failed, click Check disk to see if the problem can be found and then try Repair. This option is only available for SD cards with ext4. For SD cards with vFAT, use a card reader or computer to troubleshoot the card.

To avoid filling the card, it is recommended to remove recordings continuously. Under Recording Settings, select Remove recordings older than and select the number of days or weeks.

To stop writing to the card and protect recordings from being removed, select Lock under Recording Settings.

Q6042 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. Known for its high-resolution imaging and advanced features, this camera is an ideal choice for monitoring large areas such as city centers, airports, and parking lots.

One of the standout features of the Q6042 is its 1080p resolution, offering crisp, detailed video quality. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which minimizes bandwidth use and storage requirements without sacrificing image quality. This makes it very efficient for users looking to maintain high video fidelity while maximizing their network and storage capacity.

Another key characteristic of the Q6042 is its 18x optical zoom, enabling operators to zoom in on distant subjects without blurring the image. Combined with its advanced pan and tilt capabilities—offering a 360-degree continuous rotation and a tilt range of -20 to +90 degrees—the PTZ camera can cover vast areas and track moving objects with ease. This functionality is particularly useful for security personnel who need to monitor dynamic environments.

The Q6042 is also equipped with Axis' Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances the camera's ability to capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions. This feature is vital when monitoring areas that experience significant contrasts in light, such as entrances and exits.

The camera is built for durability and features an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, protecting it from dust and heavy rain. It is also resistant to vandalism, making it suitable for outdoor installations where security is a prime concern.

Integrated with Axis’ Corridor Format technology, the Q6042 can be configured to monitor tall and narrow areas, optimizing the field of view for situations like hallways or alleys. This maximizes the effectiveness of surveillance and reduces the amount of unnecessary data captured.

Moreover, the Q6042 supports various network protocols and can be seamlessly integrated with other security systems. With its built-in analytics capabilities, the camera can be equipped with features such as motion detection and audio detection, allowing users to receive alerts based on specific events.

In summary, the Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ camera offers a robust solution for high-security surveillance needs, equipped with high-resolution video, extensive zoom capabilities, and advanced analytics, making it a versatile tool for modern security applications.
