Axis Q8685-E (Q8685E) PTZ Network Camera (Discontinued)
*Product is Discontinued, Call For Replacement Options
Axis Q8685-E is perfect for completely unobstructed views and superb detail.
The new Axis Q8685-E lets operators choose between high-speed and ultra-slow pan and tilt movement – from 0.05 to 120 degrees per second. So they get smooth and jerk-free panoramic viewing when they need it and can respond quickly to events. It is capable of operating in extreme temperatures, and it can withstand hurricane-strength winds when it’s in motion of up to 47-meter per second (106 mph), and winds over 60-meter per second (135 mph) when it’s in motion and without sunshield.
