Axis Communications

🇸🇪 Sweden — cameras mapped in Canada

The traditional-CCTV path to ALPR: wired PoE cameras with plate-reading software — certified as unintentional radiators, meaning no radios by design.

The company

Founded in Lund, Sweden; a subsidiary of Canon since 2015. The world's largest network-camera maker; does ALPR via analytics software on general-purpose wired cameras. 16 mapped Canadian cameras; general-purpose IP cameras running ALPR analytics.

The hardware — model by model

P1445-LE-3 (License Plate Verifier Kit)

Fixed bullet — single-lane access control (≤30 km/h)

Radios: None of any kind — approvals list only unintentional-radiator class marks; no FCC ID exists by design
Imaging: 1080p 1/2.8" CMOS; 2.8–8.5mm varifocal with remote zoom; built-in 850nm OptimizedIR
Power: PoE 802.3af/at; IP66/IP67/IK10

Q1700-LE

Fixed bullet — highway-grade capture

Radios: None — PoE or 20–28VDC wired only
Imaging: 1080p; 18–137mm 8× zoom; OptimizedIR 40–50m; captures at 130 km/h on-camera (250 km/h with server analytics)
Power: PoE 802.3af/at or DC; wind-rated to 60 m/s
Notes: Discontinued, replaced by Q1800-LE — the camera inside Axon's Lightpost.

Certification record: Both models carry only FCC Part 15B / ICES-003 class marks — the absence of an FCC ID is itself the proof of no radio.
