8 MP Dome Camera for Analytics

The Axis Q3538-LVE is an 8 MP network dome camera designed for surveillance installations that require on-board deep learning analytics. It captures up to 3840x2160 resolution with a varifocal 6.2–12.9 mm lens offering 2x optical zoom and remote focus. The IR-shielded dome prevents internal reflections, and the metal casing provides robust protection for outdoor or indoor mounting.

Sustained Operation with PoE Power

Powered via IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE, the camera draws a typical 9 W and a maximum of 23 W during continuous operation with IR and analytics active. It also accepts 10–28 V DC with a typical draw of 9 W and a maximum of 24 W. Frame rates hold at 25/30 fps with WDR enabled or 50/60 fps without WDR, both locked to 50/60 Hz power line frequency, ensuring consistent throughput over long recording periods.

ONVIF Profile and Cybersecurity Baseline

The camera supports ONVIF for interoperability with compliant video management systems, using protocols such as RTSP, RTP, and SRTP/RTSPS for stream transport. Cybersecurity features include IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, TLS 1.2/1.3, a host-based firewall, and signed firmware. Installations requiring legacy analog integration, local SD card recording beyond the specified guard tour limits, or wireless connectivity will need separate infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 23 W maximum power draw add to a room when the camera runs continuously?

The camera draws up to 23 W via PoE+ or 24 W on 10–28 V DC, so continuous operation adds roughly the same heat as a small LED bulb.

Does the camera need a PoE+ injector or switch to operate, or can it run on a standard PoE port?

It requires IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+; a standard 802.3af port will not supply enough power.

Will the ONVIF support let me add this 8 MP dome to my existing NVR that only handles 1080p streams?

Yes, ONVIF compliance allows the camera to negotiate lower-resolution streams compatible with a 1080p NVR.
