Demanding Outdoor Video Surveillance

The Q6042-E is an outdoor-ready PTZ dome network camera that is perfect for those that are looking for a cost-effective piece of equipment.

Precise PTZ Performance And High Zoom

This camera also comes with a fast and precise PTZ response while also having the ability to tilt 20° above the horizon, giving it a total tilt range of 220°. This enables better views, especially over uneven terrain. A 36x optical zoom and a 12x digital zoom are also added features, allowing you to see things from a distance of 525 feet (160 meters). With Active Gatekeeper, this camera can also automatically move to a preset position upon motion detection in a pre-defined area and track a detected object.

The tour recording functionality also enables this camera to have an easy setup of an automatic tour. This enables a device, like a joystick, to be used to record an operator’s PTZ movements and length of time spent at each PoI (point of interest). In addition to that, the tour can then be activated at a touch of a button or at a scheduled time.
