Protect what matters most to your business by implementing proactive perimeter CCTV surveillance 24-hours a day with the new, advanced Q1971-E thermal IP camera from Axis Communications. Designed for use with Axis Perimeter Defender software (APD), you can detect intruders under cover of darkness and harsh weather, and respond faster than ever before.
Axis Q1971-E - detection in any environment
The robust Axis Q1971-E thermal IP camera is engineered for around-the-clock, mission-critical security surveillance in demanding outdoor applications such as government buildings, industrial sites, critical infrastructure, transportation, ports, power plants and more.
Five different lens variants from 7mm up to 35mm means the unit is equally adept at close range monitoring as from extended distances, accurately capturing environmental heat signatures for detailed thermal images.
Axis Perimeter Defender - long-range protection
The advanced Axis ARTPEC-8 chipset supports the additional Axis Perimeter Defender (APD) application, upgrading the camera’s on-board analytics by enabling long-range, AI-based intrusion detection of persons and vehicles. The high level of contrast in thermal images combined with these smart analytics leads to increased accuracy for reliable early warnings for intruders attempting to breach perimeter fencing and surrounding areas.

Detection at a distanceUnlike the limitations of conventional optical cameras with additional lighting or infrared LEDs, the combination of APD on a Q1971-E camera can detect objects in complete darkness effortlessly at extended distances. Maintain a clear, steady image with Electronic Image Stabilisation if the device is subject to shaking and vibrations, enabling more accurate analytics performance. |

High accuracy, whatever the weatherThe Q1971-E only detects events that matter as it is unaffected by typical false alarm triggers such as shadows, lighting changes, and reflections since these are not captured by the camera’s heat detection capabilities. Additionally, rain, snow or insects that stray too close to the lens aren't picked up, meaning they don't impede the camera's view. |

Be proactive for rapid responseDon’t let incidents develop further by tackling them earlier. Implement various detection scenarios which can trigger user-defined alarms and responses, activating devices including external lights, speakers and sirens to visibly and audibly warn off intruders if they get too close. |
