About the Axis Q1786
Mounted a remarkable 200 feet away from the nest, the Axis Q1786-LE Network Camera is what we use for our Osprey Cam. Designed and manufactured in Sweden, it's widely considered the finest security and monitoring camera in the world.
It provides high-resolution footage – still or motion – in bright light, backlight, or no light at all. 
The camera has a 32x optical zoom with infrared lighting that can illuminate objects at up to 262 feet. It has a 4 MP (2592×1520) sensor with 4 million pixels that can can capture high resolution video at 60 fps.
It has a wide dynamic range for clarity, even when there are both dark and light areas in the scene, and low-light technology for high-quality color images even recorded in near darkness.
​
The camera can withstand temperatures between -40 °F to 140 °F and has electronic image stabilization and IK10-rated casing for impact resistance. It's IP66-, IP67-, and NEMA 4X-rated for protection against ice, water, corrosion and dust. And its defog functionality ensures clear images despite fog or smog.
​
The camera also comes with AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard and AXIS Loitering Guard pre-installed for proactive surveillance. It has extra capacity for other advanced analytics as well. 
It supports video with sound and features scene profiles, shock detection, corridor format with auto-rotation and barrel distortion correction for great image quality and cost-effective installation. You can even add additional functionality with its I/O ports.
​
Whether you have an Axis Q1786-LE camera trained on the local East End wildlife or you'd like a hi-res view of your property, this is the ultimate camera for the job.
