Axis Q1686-DLE Radar-Video Fusion Camera 02968-001

Gemini said
The Axis Q1686-DLE (02968-001) is a high-end, traffic-optimized “fusion” camera that combines a 60 GHz radar with a high-resolution 4MP video sensor. Unlike standard cameras that rely solely on visual pixels, this device uses radar to provide precise measurements of speed and direction, making it an ideal solution for law enforcement, toll plazas, and urban traffic management.

Key Performance Features
Radar-Video Fusion: By merging radar data with video on the edge, the camera can accurately track vehicle speeds up to 200 km/h (125 mph) across multiple lanes, even in challenging weather like heavy rain or fog that might “blind” a standard camera.

Traffic-Optimized Imaging: It features a specialized 9–50 mm varifocal tele lens with a narrow horizontal field of view (46
∘
to 9
∘
). This is specifically designed to provide the high pixel density required for accurate License Plate Recognition (LPR) at high speeds.

Smart Hybrid Illumination: Equipped with a traffic-optimized IR kit, it can identify vehicles and capture clear plates in total darkness at distances up to 50 meters (164 feet).

Wrong-Way Detection: The fusion of technologies allows for highly accurate alerts if a vehicle crosses virtual lines in the wrong direction, with a significantly lower false-alarm rate compared to video-only systems.
