AXIS F1004 Pinhole 720p Indoor Sensor Unit, 8 m Cable, 01003-001

AXIS F1004 Pinhole Sensor Unit – 720p Pinhole Modular Camera with 8 m Cable

The AXIS F1004 Pinhole is a pinhole sensor unit for extremely discreet indoor surveillance. It is not a standalone camera: it needs an AXIS F Series main unit such as the AXIS F34, F41 or F44, which handles video processing, network and power. It delivers HDTV 720p through a 3.7 mm F2.5 pinhole lens with a 57° horizontal field of view and good low-light performance. It can be mounted in tight places and behind a thin metal, plastic or glass panel with the included AXIS F8206 Pinhole Mounting Bracket, and its detachable 8 m (26 ft) cable connects it to the main unit.

How the AXIS F Modular System Works

The AXIS F1004 Pinhole is the lens and image sensor only. It connects over its detachable 8 m (26 ft) cable to an AXIS F Series main unit (Axis lists the AXIS F34, F41 and F44 as compatible), which encodes the video and connects to the network. Splitting the camera this way lets a very small sensor go where space is tight while the main unit is installed out of sight.

Resolution and Coverage

The 1/4” progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor delivers max. 1280x720 at up to 25/30 fps. The fixed-focus 3.7 mm F2.5 pinhole lens covers 57° horizontally and 31° vertically, a narrower view suited to counters, ATMs and ticket or vending machines.

Image Quality

WDR helps hold detail when bright and dark areas share the scene, and the minimum illumination is 0.5 lux in color. The sensor is rated for -20 °C to 50 °C (-4 °F to 122 °F) at 10–85% RH (non-condensing).

Discreet Installation

The included AXIS F8206 Pinhole Mounting Bracket holds the sensor behind a thin metal, plastic or glass panel, and the optional AXIS F9201 Height Strip Housing (black or silver) fits it into a height strip. The detachable 8 m (26 ft) cable runs to the main unit, which sits further away where there is space.

Typical Applications

• Retail stores
• ATMs
• Ticket and vending machines
• Height strip installations (with the optional AXIS F9201 housing)
