AXIS Q-SERIES · NDAA & TAA COMPLIANT
Long-Range Intelligence: High-Performance Bullet Camera with 32x Optical Zoom
The AXIS Q1805-LE is an elite, outdoor-ready bullet camera designed for long-distance surveillance and razor-sharp target identification. Delivering outstanding 2MP 1080p resolution at high frame rates up to 120 fps, this performance-driven camera is powered by the newest generation ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip. Incorporating a dedicated Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU), it enables edge-based object analytics, classifying humans, vehicles, and specific vehicle types with incredible accuracy over massive coverage zones.
Resolution
2MP 1080p @ 120fps
Night Vision
100m OptimizedIR
Protection
IP66/67, NEMA 4X, IK10
Premium Low-Light Technology & Heavy-Duty Build
Engineered with a powerful 4.3–137 mm varifocal lens, the AXIS Q1805-LE enables security teams to zoom in across broad perimeters, highways, or shipping lanes with absolute clarity. Thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, the sensor effortlessly balances high-contrast, harsh-backlit environments and delivers full-color details in near-pitch darkness. For perimeter integrity, Axis Edge Vault shields the device with a hardware-based cyber security system, secure boot, and a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified cryptographic key store.
True 32x Optical Zoom Performance
Never lose pixels to digital magnification. The precision-engineered 32x optical zoom lens allows operators to focus on license plates, faces, and distant safety signs hundreds of meters away with incredible fine-grain detail.
Adaptive, Long-Range OptimizedIR
The integrated power-efficient OptimizedIR dynamically alters its illumination beam to match the exact field of view of the optical zoom, reaching a massive distance of up to 100 meters (328 feet) in complete darkness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AXIS Q1805-LE compliant with federal regulations like the NDAA?
Yes. The AXIS Q1805-LE is fully NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. It does not use components or chipsets from blacklisted manufacturers, making it ideal for federal, aviation, municipal, and military installations.
How does the 32x optical zoom maintain image quality at distance?
Unlike digital zoom, which crops and loses pixel density, the 32x optical zoom on the AXIS Q1805-LE relies on moving glass elements to adjust focal length. This retains the full 2MP (1080p) sensor resolution even when zooming in on objects hundreds of meters away.
Can this camera operate in extremely cold or warm environments?
Yes. Equipped with a built-in climate control system, heater, and dehumidifying membrane, the rugged IP66/67-rated enclosure operates efficiently in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F).
What is the purpose of the built-in Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU)?
The hardware-dedicated DLPU runs AI analytics directly on the camera. It processes AXIS Object Analytics to differentiate between humans and different classes of vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, bikes) on-edge, significantly lowering false alarms and server processing costs.
