NDAA Compliant • 4 x 5 MP 360° Panoramic
AXIS Multi-Sensor
AXIS Q6020-E Multidirectional Panoramic Camera — Australian Stock & 5-Year Warranty
The AXIS Q6020-E is an outdoor multidirectional panoramic camera built around four 5 MP 1/2” sensors that together deliver a full 360° horizontal field of view. It is not a PTZ camera — it has no motorised pan/tilt and no optical zoom. Instead, Axis designed it to hold the complete situational overview while a paired AXIS Q60-Series PTZ camera supplies the zoomed-in detail, letting an operator jump from overview to close-up in a single click. Two ARTPEC-8 chips with a deep learning processing unit run AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata across all four channels at the edge, and a USB port accepts a Wi-Fi dongle so installers can check the live view while aiming the camera. Part number 02956-001 is the 50 Hz variant supplied for Australia.

Total Situational Awareness, Then One-Click Detail
Four 1/2” progressive-scan sensors with 2.9 µm pixels and F2.0 optics give the Q6020-E a genuinely wide, bright image — each channel covers 108.4° horizontally and 84° vertically at up to 2592x1944 and 30 fps. Lightfinder 2.0 holds colour down to 0.06 lux and Forensic WDR delivers up to 120 dB of dynamic range, which often removes the need for supplementary IR lighting on lit sites. Autofocus and auto-alignment set the sensors and the paired PTZ automatically, so there is no manual fine-tuning on the pole.
Four 5 MP Sensors, One 360° View
2592x1944 per channel at up to 30 fps, stitched into a single 360° overview. Zipstream with H.264 and H.265 keeps bandwidth and storage under control across up to 20 configurable streams.
Edge AI on All Four Channels
Dual ARTPEC-8 SoCs with a deep learning processing unit run AXIS Object Analytics (humans, cars, buses, trucks, bikes) and AXIS Scene Metadata (faces, licence plates, clothing and vehicle colour) on 4 channels simultaneously.
Designed to Pair With AXIS Q60 PTZ
Autopilot lets the Q6020-E watch the whole scene and cue a paired AXIS Q6086-E, Q6088-E or Q6074/75-E PTZ onto a moving person or vehicle — overview and detail from one mounting point.
Built for Harsh Australian Sites
IP66, NEMA 4X and IK10 rated with a polycarbonate dome and aluminium casing, rated from -50 °C to 55 °C and 10–100% condensing humidity, with Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity built in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AXIS Q6020-E a PTZ camera?No. It is a fixed multidirectional panoramic camera with four 5 MP sensors covering 360° horizontally. It has no motorised pan/tilt and no optical zoom. The pan, tilt and rotation figures in the specification are installation adjustments made once at mounting. Axis designed it to run alongside an AXIS Q60-Series PTZ camera, which provides the zoom while the Q6020-E holds the full overview.
What resolution does it record?Each of the four sensors delivers up to 2592x1944 (5 MP) at up to 30 fps, for 4 x 5 MP in total. The default resolution is 2592x1944 per channel and streams can be scaled down to 320x240. It is not a single 4K sensor camera.
Does it have built-in infrared illumination?No, the Q6020-E has no built-in IR LEDs and no OptimizedIR. Four 1/2” sensors with F2.0 optics and Lightfinder 2.0 hold colour down to 0.06 lux, which often removes the need for IR on lit sites. For genuinely dark areas, add external illuminators such as the AXIS T90D series.
What power supply does it need?On its own it requires PoE IEEE 802.3bt dual signature Class 4 (60 W), drawing typically 14.3 W with the heater off and up to 51 W. A power-optimised low power profile will run on 802.3bt single signature Class 4 (30 W). Paired with an AXIS Q6086-E or Q6088-E PTZ, the combination needs 802.3bt dual signature Class 5 (90 W).
What analytics are included?AXIS Object Analytics, AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Video Motion Detection and an active tampering alarm are preinstalled and run on all four channels via the dual ARTPEC-8 chips and their deep learning processing unit. Object Analytics classifies humans and vehicle types and supports up to 10 simultaneous scenarios including line crossing, object in area, occupancy and tailgating detection.
How does Autopilot work with a PTZ camera?Autopilot monitors a defined area of interest and can trigger an alarm or start recording when a person, vehicle or other object moves within it. Combined with a paired AXIS Q60 PTZ camera, this lets the panoramic view cue the PTZ onto activity automatically, and autofocus with auto-alignment means the sensors and PTZ set themselves up without manual fine-tuning.
How tough is it and what temperatures will it handle?The housing is IP66, NEMA 4X and IK10 rated with a polycarbonate dome and aluminium casing. Operating range is -50 °C to 55 °C on 60 W dual signature PoE, with a start-up temperature of -40 °C and 10–100% condensing humidity tolerance. It is comfortably rated for any Australian climate.
Can it record locally without an NVR?Yes. There is a card slot supporting microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC with AES-XTS-Plain64 256-bit card encryption, and the camera can also record to network-attached storage. For continuous multi-channel recording a proper VMS or NVR is still recommended.
Can I change the field of view for longer-range detail?Yes. The supplied 3.7 mm F2.0 M14 lenses give 108.4° per sensor and 360° in total. Optional M14 lenses narrow each channel for longer range: 7.6 mm gives 58.5°, 14.1 mm gives 31°, 21.4 mm gives 19.9° and 30.8 mm gives 13.8°, extending detect distance from 46 m up to roughly 429 m.
