The AXIS XFQ1656 Explosion Protected Video Camera is a high-performance, explosion-protected fixed video camera specifically designed for surveillance in hazardous environments. Featuring a robust 316L electropolished stainless steel housing, this camera is fully certified for use in explosive atmospheres, meeting global standards including ATEX, IECEx, and cMETus. Equipped with a large 1/1.8” image sensor, the camera captures high-quality 4 MP resolution video in both day and night conditions. It supports advanced imaging technologies such as Forensic WDR for detailed scenes with challenging lighting, and Lightfinder 2.0 for excellent low-light performance. The integrated IR-corrected varifocal lens (3.9–10 mm, F1.5) includes remote zoom and focus capabilities, enabling flexible and precise scene composition without manual intervention.
The camera is powered by an onboard Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU), which enables intelligent video analytics directly on the device. This includes AXIS Object Analytics with PPE monitoring features, such as detecting missing hard hats, as well as video motion detection, shock detection, and active tampering alarms. The integrated Smoke Alert analytic offers early detection of smoke and fire, helping to increase safety in critical areas. Video streams can be configured individually, with support for H.264, H.265 with Zipstream, and Motion JPEG. It delivers smooth 4 MP video at up to 60 frames per second, or 30 fps when WDR is active, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving activity in high-risk zones.
To support cybersecurity, the camera includes AXIS Edge Vault with a FIPS-certified Trusted Platform Module (TPM), ensuring secure storage of cryptographic keys and a strong device identity. Image quality enhancements such as barrel distortion correction, defogging, electronic image stabilization, and customizable scene profiles further optimize performance in demanding environments. The camera also supports MQTT for integration with IoT platforms, and offers optional analog or digital audio input with two-way communication capability. Supervised input/output ports allow for reliable alarm and event handling. A 128 GB SD card is included for edge storage, and a serial RS485 port supports device communication and integration.
Power can be supplied via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or through a 110–230 VAC connection. For network connectivity, the camera offers both SFP (fiber) and RJ45 (copper) interfaces, ensuring flexibility in installation. Certified for use in explosive environments, the camera meets the following classifications:
Ex db IIC T5 Gb
Ex tb IIIC T100°C Db
Class I/II/III Div 1 Groups B, C, D, E, F, G
Class I Zone 1 AEx db IIC T5 Gb
Zone 21 AEx tb IIIC T100°C Db
It carries ingress protection ratings of IP66, IP67, and IP68, along with a Type 4X rating for resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Certifications include 20ATEX0651X (ATEX), EXV 20.0017X (IECEx), and E115198 (cMETus). Part code: F31. A swivel joint is included for flexible mounting and installation.
