IP security camera AXIS Q3546-LVE — dome, indoor & outdoor, 2688×1512, 1/1.8 inch CMOS, 4.7–10 mm, 2.2× optical zoom, 360° rotation

AXIS Q3546-LVE is a wired IP dome security camera designed for both indoor and outdoor surveillance. It delivers 2688×1512 (4 MP) resolution from a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with up to 120 fps and incorporates a 4.7–10 mm lens with 2.2× optical zoom and a 101° horizontal field of view. The camera supports ceiling or wall mounting and provides 360° rotation for flexible orientation. Built on the ARTPEC-9 platform with AV1 support, it includes a deep learning processing unit for on‑edge analytics and Axis Edge Vault for hardware-based cybersecurity. Physical protections include IK10, IP66, IP6K9K and NEMA 4X ratings, and the unit operates across a wide temperature range for demanding environments.

Advantages

AXIS Q3546-LVE combines high-resolution imaging, low-light sensitivity and robust mechanical protection to meet professional surveillance requirements. The ARTPEC-9 SoC and AV1 encoding lower bitrate while preserving image detail, and the integrated DLPU enables advanced analytics such as object detection, classification and tracking directly on the device. OptimizedIR and an IR‑shielded dome improve image clarity in precipitation, while Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR maintain color fidelity and detail in challenging lighting conditions. The camera supports both PoE and DC power for installation flexibility and power redundancy.

How to use

Plan the mounting location to ensure the required field of view and allow access to a wired Ethernet connection with PoE or a DC power source. Install the camera on a compatible ceiling or wall mount and orient the dome using the 360° rotation to frame the area of interest. Configure network settings and enable desired video codecs and bitrate-saving features such as AV1 or Axis Zipstream in the camera management interface. Activate built-in analytics like AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Image Health Analytics to enable object detection, classification and health monitoring of the image stream. Regularly check firmware and security settings to keep the device protected.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use PoE power where possible for simplified cabling and consider surge protection for outdoor installations. Place the camera so IR illumination is not blocked by nearby objects and schedule periodic maintenance to clean the dome and verify anchors and seals. For critical sites, enable Axis Edge Vault features and keep analytics models updated to maintain detection accuracy.
