AXIS F1015 1080p Varifocal Indoor Sensor Unit, 12 m Cable, 0678-001

AXIS F1015 Sensor Unit – 1080p Varifocal Modular Camera with 12 m Cable

The AXIS F1015 is a compact sensor unit for discreet surveillance. It is not a standalone camera: it needs an AXIS F34, F41 or F44 Main Unit, which handles video processing, network and power. With an AXIS F41 Main Unit it delivers 1080p with WDR – Forensic Capture at 25/30 fps through a 2.8–6 mm F2.0 varifocal lens with a 97° to 52° horizontal field of view. Its 2.8–6 mm varifocal lens lets installers set the view from wide to tele, and the small aluminum sensor can be installed in tight places or flush-mounted in a wall or ceiling for discreet indoor surveillance. Its 12 m (39 ft) pre-mounted cable lets the main unit sit out of sight.

How the AXIS F Modular System Works

The AXIS F1015 is the lens and image sensor only. It connects over its 12 m (39 ft) cable to an AXIS F34, F41 or F44 Main Unit, which encodes the video and connects to the network. Splitting the camera this way lets a small sensor go where space is tight while the main unit is installed out of sight.

Resolution and Coverage

The 1/2.8” progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor delivers max. 1920x1200/1080. With an AXIS F41 Main Unit it streams 1080p at 25/30 fps (up to 50/60 fps) with WDR – Forensic Capture; with an AXIS F34 or F44 it streams 1080p at 12.5/15 fps or 720p at 25/30 fps. The 2.8–6 mm F2.0 varifocal lens covers 97° to 52° horizontally and 53° to 30° vertically at 1080p, so one sensor can be set for a wide room overview or a closer view of a counter or doorway.

Clear Images in Mixed Light

WDR – Forensic Capture (1080p at 25/30 fps with an AXIS F41 Main Unit, 720p at 12.5/15 fps with an AXIS F44) holds detail when bright and dark areas share the scene, such as a doorway with daylight behind it. Minimum illumination is 0.3 lux in color.

Discreet Installation

The sensor can be installed in tight places and flush-mounted in a wall or ceiling, while the main unit is placed further away where there is space. The included AXIS F8201 Vari-angle Mounting Bracket secures the sensor, and it is rated for -30 °C to 55 °C (-22 °F to 131 °F) at 10–85% RH (non-condensing).

Typical Applications

• Retail stores and checkouts
