At use-IP we often blog about new products from Axis Communications and include what at first seem to be the meaningless Axis product codes in the product names, such as “Q6032-E” “M1031-W” etc. Well, in fact, the product codes can give you a good overview of the specifications and possible applications of each model. Each character of the product code denotes a certain aspect of the product:

Take the M1031-W for example:

• The “M” lets you know that it is a member of Axis’s affordable range
• The first number “1” indicates the product type, in this case “fixed camera”
• The second number “0” is the series number

All of the above then gives you the series name, in this case the “Axis M10 Series“

• The third number “3” indicates the running no.
• The final number “1” indicates the resolution/no. of channels
• And the letter at the end indicates any extra features the camera may have, in this case “W” for Wireless

There are many different possibilities for each character of the product name and Axis provide a breakdown of each of these on their website.

Network camera manufacturer Axis Communications have recently released three new PTZ Dome Cameras; the Axis Q6032, the Axis Q6035 and the Axis Q6035-E. Whilst full specifications are available at our Axis product pages, here is a quick overview of each of the products in question:

Axis Q6032 Indoor PTZ Network Dome Camera 0356-002

The Axis Q6035-E shares almost all its technical specifications with the Axis Q6035, the only differences being related to audio and pan/tilt angles (for full description of differences see datasheet on product page). However, the most important difference is that the suffix “-E” model comes ready to mount outdoors in an IP66 rated housing.

Axis have recently added four new vandal-resistant models to the Axis M31 series of compact network dome cameras; the Axis M3113-VE, the Axis M3114-VE, the Axis M3113-VE NOCAP and the Axis M3114-VE NOCAP. The Axis M3113-VE and the Axis M3114-VE provide many of the features of their predecessors with the added feature of a vandal-resistant casing to increase reliability in tough applications. The key features of both models are:

Axis M3113-VE Vandal-Resistant Network Dome Camera 0412-001

• 2.9mm fixed focal lens with horizontal viewing angle of 66°
• H.264 and Motion JPEG compression
• Frame rate of 30fps in all resolutions
• SVGA resolution up to 800×600
• IP67 rated impact-resistant aluminium/plastic casing
• Support for Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af (Class 1)

Axis M3114-VE Vandal-Resistant Network Dome Camera 0413-001

• 2.9mm fixed focal lens with horizontal viewing angle of 80°
• H.264 and Motion JPEG compression
• Frame rate of 30fps in all resolutions
• HDTV 720p 1MP resolution at 1280×800
• IP67 rated impact-resistant aluminium/plastic casing
• Support for Power over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af (Class 1)

N.B. Both the M3113-VE and the M3114-VE have a variant model with almost identical specifications with the added suffix of NOCAP which simply indicates that the model does not come with the weather shield included in the standard model. Removing the weather shield has impact on only one element of the camera’s performance:

The camera tilt adjustment of the standard model (with weather shield) is 0°-65° whereas the tilt adjustment of the NOCAP model (without weather shield) is 0°-90°.

What’s more, the casing of both models is rated at IP51 ensuring protection against ingress of dust and dripping water, providing an extra level of reliability in indoor applications.

The features above are the only differences between the two models, but both share a list of features including:

• 1/4″ Progressive scan CMOS image sensor
• 3.6mm lens
• Minimum illumination of 1.4lux
• H.264 and Motion JPEG compression
• Frame rate of 30fps in all resolutions
