AXIS Q1942-E 60 mm 8.3 fps VGA Outdoor Thermal Bullet Camera, 0921-001

AXIS Q1942-E 60 mm 8.3 fps VGA Outdoor Thermal Bullet Camera

The AXIS Q1942-E 60 mm 8.3 fps is an outdoor thermal network camera with a 640x480 (VGA) uncooled microbolometer, thermal sensitivity below 50 mK and a 10° horizontal field of view. It detects people and vehicles by heat in total darkness, smoke, haze and glare, with electronic image stabilization, multiple palettes and Axis Zipstream for H.264. The IP66, IP67 and NEMA 4X-rated aluminum casing with a germanium window operates from -40 °C to 60 °C, making it a fit for very long fence lines, borders and large open areas.

Key Specifications

Full specifications are listed in the Detailed Specifications tab.

Why Choose the AXIS Q1942-E 60 mm 8.3 fps?

• 640x480 thermal detector with 17 µm pixels and NETD below 50 mK
• 60 mm athermalized lens (F1.25) with a 10° horizontal field of view
• Up to 8.3 fps, image scalable to 800x600
• Electronic image stabilization and multiple thermal palettes
• AXIS Motion Guard, Fence Guard, Loitering Guard, Video Motion Detection and audio detection included
• Support for AXIS Perimeter Defender and third-party ACAP applications
• Two-way audio and two configurable I/O ports
• PoE, 8–28 V DC or 20–24 V AC power, with de-icing capability

Detection in Total Darkness

A thermal camera sees heat, not light, so it needs no illumination and is not blinded by headlights, shadows or low sun. The uncooled microbolometer covers the 8–14 µm spectral range with a sensitivity (NETD) below 50 mK, and multiple palettes help operators read the scene. Thermal images do not identify people, which helps where privacy is a concern.

60 mm Lens Coverage

The 60 mm athermalized lens gives a 10° horizontal and 7.7° vertical field of view, with a near focus distance of 91 m (300 ft). That makes this version a good fit for long-range perimeters and open areas. This version streams at up to 8.3 fps; the Q1942-E family was offered with 10, 19, 35 and 60 mm lenses, each in 8.3 fps and 30 fps versions.

Built-In Analytics

AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, AXIS Video Motion Detection, audio detection and active tampering alarm are included, and AXIS Perimeter Defender is supported for perimeter protection. Events can be triggered by analytics, temperature, external inputs, schedules and edge storage events, and can record video, upload clips, send email, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP or SNMP notifications, or play an audio clip.

Network Security and Integration

Password protection, IP address filtering, HTTPS encryption, IEEE 802.1x (EAP-TLS) network access control, centralized certificate management, brute force delay protection and signed firmware are built in. ONVIF Profile G and S and the VAPIX open API support AXIS Camera Station, AXIS Companion and partner VMS software.

Built for Harsh Sites

The aluminum casing has an integrated dehumidifying membrane and a germanium window, with IP66, IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings and de-icing capability per MIL-STD-810F Method 521.3. A wall and ceiling mount bracket is included, and the camera accepts PoE Class 3, 8–28 V DC or 20–24 V AC power.
