This makes it a more efficient and environmentally friendly option and ensures you get the full value from your investment. What’s more, the front glass is IK08-rated, and the enclosure is IK10-, NEMA 4X-, NEMA TS-2-, IP66-, and IP67-rated to withstand harsh weather conditions and impacts.

ARTPEC-9 for unmatched performance

ARTPEC-9 refines the remarkable features and capabilities that characterized previous generations of our in-house-designed SoC: low bitrate, AI-powered analytics, superior imaging, and built-in cybersecurity. It also introduces AV1, an open-source video encoding standard from the Alliance for Open Media. With support for AV1 and enhanced image processing, ARTPEC-9 delivers high-quality video with uncompromised detail and clarity, and best-in-class bitrate. Together with Axis Zipstream, AV1 also ensures hassle-free video both on-prem and in the cloud. What’s more, ARTPEC-9 powers advanced analytics applications that detect objects earlier and analyze events more precisely.

Powerful with strong security

Featuring a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), this AI-based camera lets you run advanced features and powerful analytics on the edge. It comes with AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled to detect, classify, track, and count humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles. With AXIS Image Health Analytics preinstalled, you’ll be notified if your image is blocked, degraded, under exposed, or redirected. Furthermore, Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and offers FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure key storage and operations.
