AXIS Communications Q1809-LE, 02870-001

The AXIS Q1809‑LE Bullet Camera is a high-performance outdoor network camera engineered for ultra-high-resolution surveillance and long-distance identification. Designed by Axis Communications, this advanced security camera delivers 41-megapixel imaging with exceptional pixel density, enabling security teams to capture fine forensic details across large areas such as stadiums, transportation hubs, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure sites.

Powered by a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor and advanced image processing, the AXIS Q1809-LE produces detailed video at resolutions up to 7424 × 5568 (8K-class) at up to 30 fps, ensuring precise monitoring and evidence-grade recordings.

Ultra-High Resolution for Maximum Detail

The AXIS Q1809-LE provides 41 MP resolution with extremely high pixel density, allowing operators to zoom digitally while maintaining clarity. This makes it ideal for wide-area monitoring where capturing faces, license plates, or small objects is critical.

A varifocal Canon lens (12–24 mm) delivers flexible coverage for large spaces, while optional telephoto configurations allow detailed identification from long distances.

Excellent Performance in Low Light

Equipped with Lightfinder technology and a large 4/3" sensor, the camera captures clear color images in challenging lighting conditions. Built-in IR illumination and day/night functionality enable reliable monitoring even in complete darkness.

Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) further improves video quality by reducing blur caused by wind or vibration—ideal for cameras mounted on poles, bridges, or stadium structures.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Environments

The AXIS Q1809-LE is engineered for demanding outdoor deployments with a rugged housing rated IP66, IP67, and IK10, ensuring resistance against dust, water, and vandalism. It operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F), making it suitable for extreme climates.

Advanced Cybersecurity and Edge Protection

Security is built into the device with Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that protects cryptographic keys and prevents unauthorized access. The camera supports secure boot, signed firmware, and FIPS-compliant secure key storage, helping organizations meet strict cybersecurity requirements.
