AXIS Q6042–S PTZ Dome Network Camera

Hardware Overview

Network slot SFP (external) - Two SFP slots (100Base-FX/1000Base-X) for network connectivity.

Each RJ45 and SFP port has its own dip switch. The dip switches control how the port forwards data. See Network Connector Dip Switches.

Network connector (internal) - Two 2-pin Ethernet terminal blocks.

I/O connector (external) - 6-pin configurable I/O terminal block, which is connected to the camera through the multi-connector cable. Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O connector provides the interface to:

•Digital output – For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output will show as active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.

•Digital input – An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status).

I/O connector (internal) - 2–pin I/O terminal block.

Network Connector Dip Switches

Important

Always use the default dip switch setting (position B) if the relationship between devices in the system is not defined.

The camera attaches a particular VLAN tag to all its forwarded multicast packages. The media converter switch manages how these multicast packages are forwarded between cameras, media converter switches and other network devices. This especially useful when connecting the camera and media converter switch to the network in a daisy chain.

By changing the position of the dip switches, each network connector port in the media converter switch can be configured to manage multicasts in three different ways.

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.
