AXIS Q6042–S PTZ Dome Network Camera

System Options

IPv4 Address Configuration

By default, the Axis product is set to use IPv4 (IP version 4) and to obtain the IP address automatically via DHCP. The IPv4 settings are configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. It is then possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).

If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset the product to the factory default settings (see page 56) and then perform the installation again.

To use a static IP address, check Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router.

IPv6 Address Configuration

If IPv6 (IP version 6) is enabled, the Axis product will receive an IP address according to the configuration in the network router.

To enable IPv6, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic. Other settings for IPv6 should be configured in the network router.

ARP/Ping

The product’s IP address can be assigned using ARP and Ping. For instructions, see Assign IP Address Using ARP/Ping, on page 48.

The ARP/Ping service is enabled by default but is automatically disabled two minutes after the product is started, or as soon as an IP address is assigned. To re-assign IP address using ARP/Ping, the product must be restarted to enable ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.

To disable the service, go to System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Basic and clear the option Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address.

Pinging the product is still possible when the service is disabled.

Assign IP Address Using ARP/Ping

The product's IP address can be assigned using ARP/Ping. The command must be issued within 2 minutes of connecting power.

1.Acquire a free static IP address on the same network segment as the computer.

2.Locate the serial number (S/N) on the product label.

3.Open a command prompt and enter the following commands:

Linux/Unix syntax

arp -s <IP address> <serial number> temp ping -s 408 <IP address>

Linux/Unix example

arp -s 192.168.0.125 00:40:8c:18:10:00 temp ping -s 408 192.168.0.125

Windows syntax (this may require that you run the command prompt as an administrator)

arp -s <IP address> <serial number> ping -l 408 -t <IP address>

Windows example (this may require that you run the command prompt as an administrator)

arp -s 192.168.0.125 00-40-8c-18-10-00 ping -l 408 -t 192.168.0.125

4.Check that the network cable is connected and then restart the product by disconnecting and reconnecting power.

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.
