AXIS Q6042–S PTZ Dome Network Camera

Hardware Overview

Dip switch position

 

Description

 

 

 

Default (middle)

B

Remove VLAN tags from forwarded multicast packages. Use this setting when connecting to the

 

 

network, directly or through a router or network switch.

 

 

 

Left

A

Block multicast packages that have a VLAN tag. Use this setting when connecting to a device that is

 

 

not intended for multicast viewing.

 

 

 

Right

C

Forward multicast packages with a VLAN tag. Use this setting when connecting to another media

 

 

converter switch.

 

 

 

VLAN tags are used to create independent logical networks, virtual local area networks (VLANs), within a physical network. Multiple media converter switches that are connected to each other in a daisy chain are members of the same VLAN. The media converter switches tag the multicast packages moving between them so that the next media converter switch in line knows the destination of the packages. In other words, the VLAN tag serves as a VLAN identifier. VLAN tagging should only be used when using multiple cameras and media converter switches because forwarding multicast packages with a VLAN tag only serves a purpose when the port is connected to another media converter switch, which might be connected to potential viewers.

Note

When connecting an outgoing media converter switch network connector to another type of network device, set the dip switch to position A to protect the device from multicast traffic.

axis q6042s ptz dome network camera specifications

The Axis Q6042-S PTZ Dome Network Camera is a sophisticated device designed for high-performance surveillance in diverse environments. With its robust construction and advanced features, this camera is ideal for use in critical areas such as airports, train stations, and city surveillance, ensuring reliable monitoring and security.

One of the standout features of the Axis Q6042-S is its high-definition image quality. The camera offers a resolution of up to 720p, allowing for clear and detailed video capture. This is further enhanced by its powerful zoom capabilities, featuring a 36x optical zoom lens. This enables users to focus on distant objects without sacrificing image quality, making it easy to identify individuals or objects of interest.

The pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality of the Axis Q6042-S is another significant characteristic. The camera can pan 360 degrees continuously and tilt from -20 to 90 degrees. This extensive range of motion provides complete coverage of the surveillance area, allowing operators to track fast-moving objects efficiently. Additionally, with preset positions, users can quickly move to key areas of interest, streamlining the monitoring process.

For versatility in different lighting conditions, the camera includes features such as day/night functionality and Axis' Lightfinder technology, which enhances its ability to capture color images in low-light environments. The advanced image processing capabilities ensure that the video remains clear and detailed, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Another technological advantage of the Axis Q6042-S is its advanced compression technologies, including H.264 and Motion JPEG. These technologies allow for efficient video streaming, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising video quality. The camera also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by allowing both power and data to be delivered over a single cable.

Moreover, the Axis Q6042-S is equipped with built-in analytics capabilities, enabling it to detect motion and trigger alerts based on predefined parameters. This intelligent functionality not only enhances security but also reduces the need for constant monitoring, allowing operators to focus on critical events.

In summary, the Axis Q6042-S PTZ Dome Network Camera stands out with its high-definition imaging, extensive PTZ capabilities, low-light performance, advanced compression technologies, and built-in analytics. Its robust design and versatile features make it an excellent choice for any surveillance application requiring precision, reliability, and ease of use.
