AXIS Q3517-LV 5MP Indoor Dome Camera, 01021-001
Description
AXIS Q3517-LV Dome Camera – 5 MP Indoor Vandal-Resistant Dome with OptimizedIR
The AXIS Q3517-LV is a vandal-resistant 5 MP indoor fixed dome for demanding locations, with a 4.3–8.6 mm remote zoom and focus lens. Forensic WDR, Lightfinder and OptimizedIR (40 m (130 ft) or more) deliver clear video in any light, and electronic image stabilization keeps video steady under vibration. The IP52- and IK10-rated casing, redundant PoE and DC power, supervised I/O and two-way audio support make it a fit for busy indoor areas.

Why Choose the AXIS Q3517-LV?
- 5 MP resolution (3072x1728) at 25/30 fps with WDR, or 4 MP at 50/60 fps without WDR
- Varifocal 4.3–8.6 mm, F1.5 P-Iris lens with remote zoom and focus (96°–50° horizontal field of view)
- Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) and Lightfinder for difficult light
- OptimizedIR with 850 nm LEDs, 40 m (130 ft) or more
- Electronic image stabilization for steady video under vibration
- Power redundancy between PoE and 8–28 V DC, plus two configurable supervised inputs/digital outputs
- IP52 and IK10 rated indoor casing with encapsulated electronics
Clear Video in Any Light
Forensic WDR handles scenes with both bright and dark areas (up to 120 dB depending on scene), and Lightfinder keeps color down to 0.12 lux at 5 MP. In complete darkness, OptimizedIR with power-efficient, long-life 850 nm LEDs lights the scene to 40 m (130 ft) or more.
Flexible Lens and Remote Setup
The varifocal 4.3–8.6 mm, F1.5 P-Iris lens covers 96°–50° horizontally with remote zoom and focus. A pixel counter, leveling assistant, autorotation and straighten image make installation fast, and Axis Zipstream in H.264 lowers bandwidth and storage.
Built-In Analytics and Audio
AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, AXIS Video Motion Detection, active tampering alarm and audio detection are included, with AXIS Digital Autotracking supported. A mic/line input and line output provide full-duplex two-way audio, and shock detection can trigger events.
Robust and Reliable
The IP52-rated, IK10 impact-resistant casing has a polycarbonate hard-coated dome, aluminum base and dehumidifying membrane. Power redundancy between PoE and DC keeps the camera running, and two configurable supervised inputs/digital outputs connect alarms and door contacts.
Typical Applications
- School hallways and stairwells
- Lobbies and reception areas
