AXIS FA4090-E Thermal Sensor Unit – Dome-Shaped Outdoor Thermal Detection

The AXIS FA4090-E is an outdoor-ready dome-shaped 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. The dome shape makes it easy to aim at the area you want to cover. 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 FA4090-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.

Functional, Discreet Dome Design

The dome-shaped sensor unit is functional and highly discreet, and installs behind surfaces, on walls or recessed. The athermalized 4 mm, F1.2 lens covers 35.4° horizontally and 28° vertically, and the casing also meets NEMA 250 Type 4X.

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
