AXIS Q6155-E 1080p 30x Laser Focus Outdoor PTZ Dome Camera, 0934-004
Description
AXIS Q6155-E PTZ Dome Camera – 1080p Outdoor PTZ with Laser Focus and 30x Zoom
The AXIS Q6155-E is a compact, outdoor-ready PTZ dome with a built-in laser that focuses instantly, even in low light, low contrast or scenes with point-shaped light. It streams HDTV 1080p video with 30x optical zoom, while Axis Sharpdome, Lightfinder and Forensic Capture WDR keep images clear in all directions and in difficult light. Axis Zipstream reduces bandwidth and storage, and Speed Dry clears water from the dome, making it a strong fit for city surveillance and critical infrastructure.

Instant Laser Focus
A built-in laser measures the distance to the subject so the camera focuses right away, even in low light, low contrast or scenes with point-shaped light sources where conventional autofocus struggles. That matters when an operator is zooming in on a fast-changing scene.
1080p Video with 30x Optical Zoom
The 1/2.8″ progressive scan sensor delivers HDTV 1080p at up to 25/30 fps, or 720p at up to 50/60 fps. The 4.3–129 mm lens covers a 66.7°–2.36° horizontal field of view with 30x optical and 12x digital zoom (360x total). Pan reaches 700°/s and tilt 500°/s, with 256 presets, tour recording and guard tours.
Clear Images in Difficult Light
Lightfinder keeps color down to 0.15 lux (30 IRE), and WDR – Forensic Capture handles 120 dB scenes with bright and dark areas. Axis Sharpdome technology gives the same sharp image quality above the horizon as below, while Speed Dry, electronic image stabilization and automatic backlight compensation help in rain, wind and glare.
Analytics and Integration
AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Fence Guard and AXIS Motion Guard are included, and AXIS Camera Application Platform supports third-party applications. ONVIF Profile G and S and the VAPIX API connect it to AXIS Camera Station and partner video management software. Signed firmware, HTTPS, IEEE 802.1X and brute force delay protection secure the device.
Rugged Outdoor Installation
The repaintable aluminum casing is IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated with IK10 housing and mounting (IK08 dome). With a 60 W midspan it operates from -55 °C to 50 °C (-67 °F to 122 °F), it is tested to 74 °C (165 °F) under NEMA TS 2, and Arctic Temperature Control allows start-up at -40 °C. Mounting is sold separately.
