Axis on its new Industry IP Cameras with i-CS Lens

Quick and easy installation, intuitive configuration and high performance, an open protocol, geometrical distortion and the exact position of its zoom, focus and iris opening, and exchange of information are at the center of the stakes with the new indoor AXIS Q1615 Mk II and the outdoor AXIS Q1615-EMk II.

A result of a joint development between Axis Communications and Computar® (CBC Group), a Japanese lens manufacturer, the new intelligent i-CS lens directly can exchange information such, as geometrical distortion and the exact position of its zoom, focus and iris opening.  

One can also observe that, due to several motors inside the i-CS lens; zoom, focus and iris opening can be remotely adjusted. Furthermore, the exchange of information between the i-CS lens and the camera, enables easier formatting of Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Barrel Distortion Correction (BDC), which reduces the time needed for setup.

The indoor AXIS Q1615 Mk II and the outdoor AXIS Q1615-E Mk II features scene profiles enabling the installer to select between traffic overview, forensic or live profile. Both of the new fixed cameras can provide HDTV 1080p video at frame rates of up to 50/60 fps or HDTV 720p video at frame rates of up to 100/120 fps. 

The indoor AXIS Q1615 Mk II and the outdoor AXIS Q1615-E Mk II are planned to be available in Q3 2016 through Axis’ standard distribution channels at the suggested retail prices of $999 for AXIS Q1615 Mk II and $1299 for AXIS Q1615-E Mk II.
