AI-powered 8 MP 4K block camera for flexible enclosure-ready deployments
The AXIS Q1728 Block Camera – 13 mm Lens delivers 8 MP 4K video with superior light sensitivity, making it ideal for detailed coverage even in demanding lighting conditions. Built on the Axis ARTPEC-9 system-on-chip with a deep learning processing unit, it enables advanced analytics at the edge while maintaining efficient bandwidth and storage usage with Axis Zipstream and support for AV1, H.264, H.265 and Motion JPEG.
Featuring a 1/1.2" progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor and an IR-corrected varifocal 13 mm lens, this compact, enclosure-ready block camera fits into a wide range of Axis and third-party housings. With Forensic WDR, Lightfinder 2.0, electronic image stabilization and extensive image tuning options, it delivers clear, usable video across a broad range of scenes. Axis Edge Vault, secure boot and a rich set of network security protocols help safeguard your system and video evidence end-to-end.
- High-resolution 4K imaging: Capture detailed scenes with an 8 MP 3840x2160 sensor and flexible aspect ratios up to 4:3 at 2592x1944.
- Superior low-light performance: Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR up to 120 dB provide clear color and detail in challenging lighting and high contrast scenes.
- Flexible 13 mm varifocal optics: IR-corrected 5.9–13.3 mm lens with P-iris control and wide 108°–49° horizontal field of view for adaptable coverage.
- Efficient streaming with AV1: Axis Zipstream plus AV1, H.264 and H.265 significantly reduce bandwidth and storage needs while preserving forensic detail.
- Advanced edge analytics: Deep learning DLPU supports AXIS Object Analytics, Image Health Analytics, Scene Metadata and Live Privacy Shield directly on the camera.
- Hardened cybersecurity: Axis Edge Vault, secure keystore, signed OS, IEEE 802.1X, MACsec and ETSI EN 303 645 compliance help protect device identity, data and communications.
- Installation-friendly design: Compact block form factor, included stand, HDMI output, built-in installation aids and enclosure-ready mounting interface simplify integration.
Ideal Use Cases
- Enclosure-based surveillance where a compact 4K block camera must be integrated into Axis or third-party housings for outdoor or specialized environments.
- Critical infrastructure and transportation sites needing high-detail imaging, Forensic WDR and advanced analytics for people and vehicle monitoring.
- Industrial and logistics facilities requiring edge analytics such as line crossing, object in area, occupancy in area and motion-based triggers.
- Secure installations that demand strong cybersecurity controls, signed video and robust device identity management.
- Projects optimizing storage and bandwidth through AV1 and Axis Zipstream while maintaining high image quality.
