AXIS F9111 4K 1-Channel Modular Main Unit, 01990-001
Description
AXIS F9111 1-Channel Modular Main Unit with Audio and I/O
The AXIS F9111 is a single-channel main unit for the AXIS F modular system. It is not a complete camera on its own: it needs one sensor unit from the AXIS F21 series, the AXIS F4105-LRE Dome Sensor or the AXIS F7225-RE Pinhole Sensor. It delivers 1080p at 60 fps or 720p at 180 fps, and up to 4K at 30 fps with an 8MP sensor unit. Ideal for emergency vehicles and buses, it has ignition control with controlled shutdown, a machine learning processing unit, AXIS Sensor Metrics Dashboard with accelerometer, GPS and Modbus support, and Axis Edge Vault.

How the AXIS F Modular System Works
The AXIS F9111 is the main unit of a divided camera: it handles video processing, analytics, storage, power and the network connection, while small AXIS F sensor units hold the lens and image sensor. The sensors connect over AXIS TU6004-E or TU6005 Plenum cables with FAKRA connectors, so they can sit in tight or hidden spots while the main unit is installed out of sight. It requires just one VMS license.
Resolution and Frame Rates
With a 2MP sensor unit the AXIS F9111 streams 1080p at 60/50 fps without WDR (30/25 fps with WDR) or 720p at 180/175 fps. 5MP sensor units run at up to 30/25 fps, Quad HD at up to 60/50 fps, and 8MP sensor units at 4K and 30/25 fps without WDR. Forensic WDR and Zipstream in H.264 and H.265 are supported.
Analytics and Sensor Data
AXIS Object Analytics (humans and vehicles, up to 10 scenarios), AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Video Motion Detection and audio detection are included. AXIS Sensor Metrics Dashboard comes preinstalled: it gathers data from connected sensor devices, including GPS over serial and Modbus over serial or IP, and stores it on the main unit SD card. Third-party ACAP applications can be installed.
Built-In Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform with a secure element (CC EAL 6+), protects the Axis device ID and simplifies authorization of Axis devices on the network. Signed OS, secure boot, signed video, SD card encryption and IEEE 802.1X, MACsec, HTTPS/HSTS and TLS 1.2/1.3 are supported.
Rugged Design for Vehicles
The IP3X-rated aluminum casing is tested for shock and vibration (IEC/EN 61373 Category 1 Class B) and carries E-mark (ECE R10) approval. Ignition control with controlled shutdown keeps the unit from draining a vehicle battery. Power comes from PoE (IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4) or a 10–48 V DC input, and it works from -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F).
Typical Applications
- Buses, trains and emergency vehicles
- ATMs, entrances and other discreet monitoring points
- Retail and banking installations
- Existing AXIS F91 installations that need a like-for-like unit
