This vandal-resistant thermal network camera is part of the advanced Axis Q19 series, offering thermal imaging in 384 x 288 resolution that can be scaled up to 768 x 576. The unit is ideal for applications such as perimeter surveillance when reliable detection is required - even in areas subject to complete darkness or obscured by smoke, haze, or fog. Additionally, features such as electronic image stabilisation (EIS), several integrated video analytics applications and optional lens sizes (please select from the dropdown) are included.

Camera

The camera is available with various fixed lens options that are all available in 8.3 frames per second (fps) and 30fps variations including 7mm, 13mm, 19mm and 35mm – allowing users to choose the lens and frame rate most suitable for their surveillance needs. Additionally, built-in EIS retains image clarity, even when the camera is subject to excessive movement.

Imaging

Thermal imaging allows users to identify individuals and objects that give off heat in recordings taken in darkness or obscured by fog or smoke; this enables improved detection of potentially hazardous events such as overheating of machinery or intrusion of unauthorised personnel. A variety of other imaging features also come as standard on this camera, such as corridor format: a technology that allows the camera to rotate by 90° to capture narrow areas, limiting the redundant space captured. Furthermore, privacy masking ensures that areas not permitted to be recorded or not necessary for surveillance are concealed, increasing privacy for those in the surrounding area.

Video analytics

Equipped with an array of Axis analytics applications including Motion Guard, Fence Guard, Loitering Guard and Video Motion Detection; this unit provides comprehensive monitoring that alerts users to instances of trespassing, individuals lingering in an area and other potentially suspicious behaviour. These alarms can then trigger recording onto the camera’s MicroSD card (not included) – ensuring all activity is captured. The camera also offers support for Axis Perimeter Defender (sold separately) to enhance the unit’s edge-based intrusion detection and Axis’ camera application platform where users can download third-party applications to fit their requirements

Video management

This camera offers support for edge storage, providing a handy backup in case of network failure, whilst also allowing it to work as a standalone system (MicroSD card not included). The camera can also work in conjunction with high-performance video management software such as Axis Camera Station or  Milestone XProtect these software products allow users to manage and edit footage as well as view live and recorded playback from their network cameras.

Installation

This durable camera is ideal for demanding outdoor conditions with IP66 weather resistance and IK10-rated and NEMA 4X tampering protection. Additionally, support for Power-over-Ethernet allows the unit to receive both power and network connectivity through one cable, resulting in more straightforward and cost-effective installation.

Please note: there is no power supply included with this unit. It is power over ethernet capable.
