AXIS Q1808-LE 12-48mm Varifocal 10mp Bullet Camera
- CCTV Lens Guide
- Hard Drive Size Guide
Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

This powerful camera delivers outstanding 4K and ultra-high light sensitivity. It’s available with a wide lens for open areas or a tele lens for surveillance from a distance. Plus, with PoE out you can connect and power an additional device.
Excellent forensic details and powerful performance
Featuring a 4/3” image sensor, AXIS Q1808-LE offers exceptional low-light performance. And, thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 it ensures true colours in almost complete darkness. In addition, a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) lets you run advanced features and powerful analytics on the edge. It offers improved processing and storage capabilities so you can collect and analyse even more data than before. Plus, it delivers valuable metadata facilitating fast, easy, and efficient forensic search capabilities in live or recorded video.
Great coverage in wide, open areas
With a wide (12 – 48 mm) Canon lens and 90°-21° horizontal field of view, AXIS Q1808-LE is perfect for surveillance in wide, open areas. It offers 4x zoom and outstanding light sensitivity to ensure excellent forensic details. Plus, white light IR LEDS (850 nm) let you switch to white light to deter unwanted activity.
Excellent details at great distances
With a tele (50 – 150 mm) Canon lens and 21°-7° horizontal field of view, AXIS Q1808-LE is perfect for great details at long distances. With an additional 3x zoom, it’s ideal for identification purposes. Plus, Optimized IR allows for surveillance in complete darkness up to 120 m (394 ft) without the need for extra lighting.
Enjoy big savings
Not only does this powerful camera deliver outstanding 4K details, but thanks to Zipstream H.264/ H.265, it also significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements. And, with storage profile enabled, you’ll enjoy the optimal level of Zipstream for your video storage - regardless of your VMS. Even at night, when images contain a high level of noise, this powerful camera ensures low bandwidth and great details. In addition, PoE out lets you connect and power another device without any additional cabling. This eliminates the need to rent extra ports and simplifies installation. For instance, you can easily connect a horn speaker, strobe siren, or even another camera. Furthermore, dynamic power mode together with low power profile reduces power demands by as much as 50% in certain temperature ranges.
Reliable and robust
AXIS Q1808-LE includes Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. With supervised inputs, you’ll be notified if the connection is cut. Plus, it can be powered with DC power and PoE, and even if there’s a power outage, redundant DC power ensures a reliable power supply to safeguard your data. This robust, outdoor-ready camera is IP66-, IP67-, IK10- and NEMA 4X-rated and can handle temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F). Plus, with premium Q-line functionality, it guarantees always-great image quality.
