AI-powered 8 MP 4K block camera with long-range 48 mm tele lens

The AXIS Q1728 Block Camera – 48 mm Lens delivers 8 MP 4K video with superior light sensitivity and long-range coverage, making it ideal for applications where fine detail is required at extended distances. Built on the Axis ARTPEC-9 system-on-chip with a deep learning processing unit, it supports advanced edge analytics while keeping bandwidth and storage demands low using Axis Zipstream and AV1, H.264 and H.265 compression.

Equipped with a 1/1.2"" progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor and an IR-corrected varifocal 15.2–48.7 mm tele lens, this enclosure-ready block camera integrates easily into Axis and third-party housings. Forensic WDR, Lightfinder 2.0, electronic image stabilization and extensive image tuning capabilities help ensure clear, usable video in high-contrast, low-light and vibration-prone environments. Axis Edge Vault, secure keystore and a comprehensive suite of security protocols protect both the device and your video data.

• Long-range tele coverage: 48 mm varifocal lens with narrow 13° horizontal field of view at tele for capturing detail at extended distances.
• 4K image clarity in varied lighting: 8 MP 3840x2160 resolution combined with Forensic WDR and Lightfinder 2.0 provides sharp images in challenging, high-dynamic scenes.
• Optimized bandwidth and storage: Axis Zipstream with AV1, H.264 and H.265 significantly reduces resource usage while preserving forensic image detail.
• Advanced edge analytics: Built-in DLPU enables AXIS Object Analytics, Image Health Analytics, Scene Metadata and Live Privacy Shield directly on the camera.
• Hardened cybersecurity design: Axis Edge Vault, secure element, signed OS, IEEE 802.1X and MACsec help secure device identity, communication and stored keys.
• Installation-friendly block form factor: Compact enclosure-ready design with HDMI output, included stand and built-in installation aids simplifies setup and integration.

Ideal Use Cases

• Perimeter and fence-line monitoring where long-range identification and recognition are required with 4K detail.
• Transport corridors, roadways and critical infrastructure sites that need vehicle and human analytics at extended distances.
• Industrial and logistics yards where telephoto DORI performance helps cover large open areas from fewer mounting points.
• High-security environments that demand strong cybersecurity features and signed video for evidential integrity.
• Custom enclosure-based deployments where a compact 4K block camera must be integrated into specialized housings.
