Swift and smooth
AXIS Q8685-LE lets operators choose between high-speed and ultra-slow pan and tilt movement - from 0.05 to 120 degrees per second. So they getsmooth 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 52-meter per second (117 mph), and winds over 60-meter per second (135 mph) when it's in motion and without sunshield.
Ground-to-sky view
The camera can be column-mounted, on poles or walls for a 360� panoramic view and a ground-to-sky view from -90� to 45�. If the need is to tilt upwards, up to 90�, this can be achieved by mounting the camera housing in an inverted configuration on the positioning unit. The inverted configuration gives a tilt range of -45� to 90�.
