Axis Communications Showcases New Solutions at GSX

In its commitment to innovate for a smarter, safer world, Axis Communications announced new innovations for 4K resolution cameras with ultra-high light sensitivity, license plate identification and next generation PTZ cameras. These solutions will be showcased at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) tradeshow in Chicago, IL, September 10-12.

"Solutions must continue to evolve in order to meet the ever-changing needs of the customer," said Fredrik Nilsson, VP, Americas, Axis Communications, Inc. "We're proud to introduce new and enhanced cameras taking low light sensitivity and cybersecurity to the next level, as well as latest advancements in analytics at this year's Global Security Exchange."

Outstanding 4K resolution camera with ultra-high light sensitivity

Featuring 4x zoom and a Canon lens, the powerful and robust AXIS Q1798-LE Network Camera comes with IP66, IP67 and IK10 ratings and can handle extreme temperatures ranging from -40 °F to 140 °F. This camera was designed with enhanced cybersecurity features such as signed firmware and secure boot. Signed firmware guarantees that the firmware hasn't been altered and ensures only authorized firmware is installed, while secure boot guarantees that the camera is completely free of malware after a factory default, if needed. 

This camera also offers Axis Lightfinder 2.0 technology for increased light sensitivity, more life-like colors in almost complete darkness and sharper images of moving objects. Additionally, it's possible to connect devices to the I/O ports to trigger alarms or actions and the supervised input sends a notification if the connection is lost.

Key features include:

  • 4K/10 MP resolutions
  • Ultra-high light-sensitive sensor
  • 12 – 48 mm Canon lens
  • Axis Lightfinder 2.0 technology
  • Axis Zipstream technology with support for H.264/H.265

These cameras feature autotracking 2 with 'click and track' functionality, as well as an orientation aid with dynamic overlays for active object tracking.

These cameras also include advanced security features such as signed firmware and secure boot to guarantee that the firmware hasn't been altered and ensure only authorized firmware is installed. These cameras include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that's FIPS 140-2 level 2 certified to ensure secure storage of all cryptographic keys and certificates so that they remain safe even in the event of a security breach.

Key features include:

  • HDTV 1080p with 40x optical zoom  
  • Axis Lightfinder 2.0 
  • Autotracking 2 and orientation aid 
  • Built-in analytics for proactive surveillance

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
