Overview of the Axis Q1971-E in/outdoor thermal IP camera

  • Advanced thermal imaging in 384x288 thermal sensor resolution
  • Reliable object detection regardless of weather and lighting conditions
  • Available in several lens sizes to meet specific requirements
  • Includes a range of motion detection analytics, with support for AI analytics
  • Smooth video is maintained with electronic image stabilisation

This durable and compact thermal camera is designed for dependable outdoor perimeter protection, providing 24/7 early detection and verification. It features a thermal imaging sensor with 384x288 resolution, enabling consistent performance in challenging lighting and weather conditions that would typically limit visibility. With a choice of lens sizes offering horizontal views up to 55°, the camera can be tailored to specific business needs. It captures video at up to 30 frames per second, while electronic image stabilisation (EIS) ensures a steady video stream, even when the camera experiences vibrations.

Engineered for outdoor environments, the camera's IP66/67 and IK10-rated casing protects it from harsh weather and vandalism. Two configurable I/O ports allow integration with external devices like alarms and speakers, enabling real-time response to detected events. Different thermal palettes can be applied to better distinguish heat sources, improving scene interpretation. The camera also comes with built-in motion detection analytics and supports third-party analytics integration, allowing for a more customised and advanced thermal detection system. The camera is wall-mountable without additional accessories.

Video Analytics

The preinstalled powerful analytics includes Axis Motion Guard, Fence Guard and Loitering Guard enabling users to run monitoring scenarios and receive alerts triggered by motion detection, virtual line crossing or loitering for enhanced detection and verification. The AI-based functionality of the device supports the use of the scalable Axis Perimeter Defender application for even greater detection capabilities, classifying humans and vehicles with minimal false alarms.

This camera also supports other Axis and third-party applications, enabling greater functionality for the camera to meet more specialist demands.

Recording and Video Management

Available recording and video management options for this camera:

Example Use Cases

  • 24/7 perimeter and zone protection - Early detection and verification, configure alarms upon unexpected behaviour and activate external devices, define detection zones, visualise objects in colour coded bounding boxes, monitor loitering
  • Entrance monitoring - Visitor detection, prevent unauthorised access, minimise vandalism, authorise and confirm deliveries
  • Anti-vandalism - deter criminal activity, identify suspicious behavior, early warning of potential break-ins
  • Manufacturing - heat detection in manufacturing equipment (does not alert on temperature)

Accessories included
