Overview

Unparalleled Performance with AXIS Q1656-BE Industrial Camera

The AXIS Q1656-BE stands at the pinnacle of industrial security cameras, delivering unparalleled performance in challenging environments. Boasting a 4 MP resolution and a 1/1.8” sensor, it ensures exceptional video quality, even in low light, thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 and premium Q-line functionality. This outdoor barebone model is designed for customization, allowing you to tailor it to meet your specific requirements with various lens and mounting options. The support for i-CS lens and AXIS TQ1901-E IR Illuminator Kit enhances its flexibility.

Powered by the latest Axis system-on-chip (SoC) with deep learning capabilities, this camera offers powerful analytics on the edge, eliminating the need for expensive servers. The ARTPEC-8-based design includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), enabling detection and classification of humans, vehicles, and specific vehicle types with AXIS Object Analytics.
