AXIS Q1800-LE License Plate Camera, a license plate recognition camera

Axis Communications announces the release of two purpose-tuned cameras ideal for traffic surveillance and smart city initiatives. These powerful cameras can capture sharp license plate images 24/7 and help law enforcement agencies improve road safety and gather valuable intelligence.

AXIS Q1800-LE License Plate Camera is preconfigured for accurate license plate capture 24/7 at speeds up to 250 km/h (155 mph). It’s fully compatible with edge- or server-based LPR software from any leading third-party vendor, giving customers the freedom to choose the license plate recognition analytics that best suits their needs.  

AXIS Q1800-LE-3 is an all-in-one license plate kit that includes everything in one device. With AXIS License Plate Verifier preinstalled, it can read plates at speeds up to 200 km/h (124 mph). An edge-based license plate recognition approach means the camera manages processing and storage, eliminating the need for expensive servers and reducing bandwidth requirements. 

Both cameras can cover distances of up to 100 m (328 ft) during daylight. In pitch darkness, they can cover distances up to 50 m (164 ft), and up to 100 m (328 ft) with the optional accessory AXIS T90D20 IR-LED Illuminator.

These purpose-tuned cameras require minimum setup. Image algorithms are preconfigured to focus solely on license plate capture. Built on the Axis open platform, they integrate seamlessly with VMS systems and support a wide range of third-party applications.
