AXIS Q6088-E 4K Outdoor AI PTZ Camera with 34x Zoom, 03190-004
Description
AXIS Q6088-E PTZ Camera – 4K Outdoor AI PTZ with 34x Zoom and Laser Focus
The AXIS Q6088-E is an outdoor 3840x2160 (4K) PTZ camera with a light-sensitive 1/2″ sensor, 34x optical zoom and laser focus. Built on ARTPEC-9 with a deep learning processing unit, it runs AXIS Object Analytics and autotracking on the edge, while Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR and Axis Zipstream with AV1, H.264 and H.265 keep video clear and storage lean. An IP66-, IP67-, NEMA 4X-, NEMA TS 2- and IK10-rated casing and Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity make it a fit for campuses, parking lots and large open areas. A 90 W midspan is included in the box.

Low-Light Performance and Image Quality
A 1/2″ progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor with 2.0 μm pixels, Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) deliver color video down to 0.2 lux at 30 IRE and black-and-white down to 0.08 lux. Electronic image stabilization, defog and scene profiles for forensic, traffic overview and license plate scenes help keep detail in difficult conditions.
34x Zoom, Laser Focus and Fast PTZ
The 6.64–225.5 mm lens zooms from a 60.8° to a 2.0° horizontal field of view, and laser focus finds focus quickly even in low light or low contrast. The camera pans 360° endlessly and tilts 0 to -90° at up to 500°/s, with 300 presets, guard tours, tour recording and 0.10° preset accuracy. At the tele end, the DORI detect distance is 4516.3 m (14813.5 ft) and the identify distance is 451.6 m (1481.2 ft).
AI Analytics on the Edge
The ARTPEC-9 deep learning processing unit runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect, classify and count humans and vehicle types across up to 10 scenarios, including line crossing, object in area, occupancy in area and tailgating detection. AXIS Image Health Analytics, AXIS Scene Metadata, autotracking and active gatekeeper are included, and AXIS Camera Application Platform supports third-party applications.
Cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault provides a secure element (CC EAL 6+, FIPS 140-3 Level 3), Axis device ID, signed video, secure boot and an encrypted filesystem. Signed OS, IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3 and a host-based firewall protect the network side.
Built for Harsh Outdoor Sites
The IP66-, IP67-, NEMA 4X- and IK10-rated aluminum casing reaches 74 °C (165 °F) under NEMA TS 2 (2.2.7), starts up as low as -40 °C (-40 °F) with Arctic Temperature Control and runs on IEEE 802.3bt Class 6 PoE (typical 11.7 W, max 51 W). The box includes a 90 W midspan with power cable and an IP66 RJ45 push-pull connector; on a 60 W midspan the camera runs at full power from -50 °C to 55 °C (-58 °F to 131 °F).
