Axis Communications 02617-004 Q3628-VE Network Camera

Advanced Dome Camera with PTRZ

The Axis Q3628-VE is an 8MP outdoor network camera built for professional surveillance. It serves installers and security managers who need remote pan, tilt, roll and zoom adjustment after mounting. A Deep Learning Processing Unit enables advanced edge analytics directly on the device. The IK10-rated metal casing withstands vandalism and harsh weather.

Upgrade from fixed or manual domes

This model replaces cameras that require physical ladder access for aiming changes. The motorised PTRZ and varifocal 6-13 mm P-Iris lens let operators reframe scenes from the desk. The jump is worth it when sites need frequent view adjustments or forensic detail across variable lighting. Forensic WDR and Lightfinder 2.0 preserve detail in high-contrast and low-light scenes.

Straightforward PoE+ integration

Power comes via IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+ or 10-28V DC with redundancy, using the supplied bracket and weather shield. Remote focus and zoom eliminate manual lens tuning. Common issues include insufficient PoE budget on older switches and network congestion from multiple high-bitrate H.264/H.265 Zipstream streams. MicroSD slot provides local backup if the recorder fails.
