AXIS FA1080-E 208x156 Thermal Sensor Unit 4 mm, 01728-001
Description
AXIS FA1080-E Thermal Sensor Unit, 4 mm – Outdoor-Ready Thermal Detection
The AXIS FA1080-E is an outdoor-ready 4 mm thermal sensor unit for reliable thermal detection 24/7. It is not a standalone camera: it needs the AXIS FA54 Main Unit, which handles video processing, network and power. Its uncooled 208x156 microbolometer (NETD <100 mK) and athermalized 4 mm, F1.2 lens with a 35.4° horizontal field of view detect by heat instead of light, with a low rate of false alarms, and the sensor does not compromise personal integrity. This 4 mm version gives a narrower view with longer detection distances; a 2.2 mm wide-angle version is also available. The IP66/IP67-rated aluminum unit comes with a 12 m (39 ft) cable and the AXIS F8201 Vari-angle Mounting Bracket.

How the AXIS FA Modular System Works
AXIS FA Series splits the camera in two: a sensor unit and a main unit, connected by a cable. The AXIS FA1080-E connects to the AXIS FA54 Main Unit over its 12 m (39 ft) cable through an RJ12 connector, so the small sensor can be outdoors while the main unit stays indoors. With four channels on the FA54, thermal and visual sensor units can share one main unit and one IP address.
Reliable Thermal Detection
The uncooled microbolometer (208 x 156 pixels, 12 μm pixel size, 8–14 μm spectral range) sees heat, not light, so it provides reliable detection 24/7 with a low rate of false alarms. Through the AXIS FA54 it supports AXIS Camera Application Platform, which enables the use of analytics.
Flexible, Discreet Form Factor
The slim ø30 mm sensor fits locations with limited space and works with a wide range of mounting accessories for wall, ceiling and recessed installations, or behind surfaces for discreet surveillance. Lenses: 2.2 mm (63°) for wide-angle views or 4 mm (35.4°) for narrower views with longer detection distances.
Built for Outdoor Use
The aluminum casing is IP66 and IP67-rated for outdoor use and works from –30 °C to 55 °C (–22 °F to 131 °F), with intermittent operation up to 60 °C (140 °F) and 10–100% RH, condensing.
Typical Applications
- Discreet detection along building walls and entrances
- Privacy-sensitive areas where identification is not wanted
- Round-the-clock detection, day and night
- Multi-channel systems mixing thermal and visual sensor units on one AXIS FA54
