The lens is a 3.4 – 119mm autofocus type and, to save you doing the sums, that’s an optical magnification of 35x, supplement by a 12x digital zoom, giving a whopping (though questionably useable) 420x maximum zoom. This has 704 x 576 pixels and minimum illumination is claimed to be 0.5lux in colour mode and 0.008 lux in monochrome night mode. It’s a well-appointed day/night design based upon a 1/4-inch ExView HAD progressive scan CCD. So without more ado let’s see how it stacks up against the old school competition by highlighting some key features.Īs usual we’ll begin with the camera, and it’s not found wanting in any respect.

We also have to factor in how easy the camera and system is to control plus any extra facilities that enhance or contribute to the system’s effectiveness. That’s round one to the Q6032, but in the end what really matters is the live or recorded image on the operator’s monitor screen.

This, basically, means that images from the camera, or cameras can be viewed, controlled and recorded on any PC connected to the network or remotely linked to it by the Internet, so it could be anywhere, ten feet away or on the other side of the world. There are no stacks of grey boxes at the other end either in most cases the camera connects directly (or via a Power over Ethernet adaptor) to a standard network router. There’s just one, a standard LAN or Ethernet cable, which carries power, video data, telemetry and everything else the camera needs to communicate with the hardware and the operator.
There are plenty of differences, though, and they begin with the connection to the outside world. Now picture the Q6032-E, and it’s really not difficult, because from the outside it looks pretty much like any other dome camera. You are probably visualising lots of grey boxes festooned with winking lights, displays, joysticks knobs and buttons plus a great deal of wiring. If you still need convincing then just consider the hardware, cabling and infrastructure involved even in a modest system comprising two or three PTZ dome cameras. The once clear dividing line between network or IP cameras and analogue models has been getting increasingly blurry and we are now rapidly approaching the point where it may disappear altogether.Īxis, one of the pioneers and leading exponents of IP technology has produced some outstanding designs over the years, and it has all come together in the Q6032-E network dome camera, one of those rare milestone products that has the potential to change minds and shape the future.
