AXIS D2124-VE 360° AI Security Radar, 03127-001
Description
AXIS D2124-VE Radar – 360° AI-Powered Security Radar for Poles and Rooftops
The AXIS D2124-VE is a 360° AI-powered security radar that recognizes humans up to 140 m (450 ft) away across 40,000 m² (430,000 sq ft) from a single pole. Built on ARTPEC-9 with a deep learning processing unit, it classifies humans and vehicles in all weather and light, detects vehicles up to 200 m (650 ft), and plans coverage with box-shaped detection and recognition zones. It shares the mounting interface of AXIS Q62 PTZ cameras, works with the AXIS Q6225-LE for double-knock visual verification, and is ideal for poles, rooftops and mobile surveillance trailers.

360° Coverage from a Single Pole
Mounted on a pole, mast, rooftop or trailer, the AXIS D2124-VE watches in every direction at once. It recognizes humans across a 40,000 m² (430,000 sq ft) zone and detects vehicles over 79,000 m² (850,000 sq ft), tracking objects with 0.9 m distance accuracy and under 0.5° angle accuracy, while radar image stabilization keeps detections accurate in windy conditions.
Box-Shaped Zones and Fewer False Alarms
Unique box-shaped detection and recognition zones simplify coverage planning and system design. Multiple line-crossing scenarios, exclusion zones and filters for swaying objects, unknown objects, object speed and object type cut false alarms in complex scenes.
Visual Verification with a PTZ Camera
Pair the radar with the AXIS Q6225-LE PTZ camera and AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ to combine radar detection with AI classification on the video stream and autotracking. The optional double-knock feature requires visual verification before an event triggers, and the radar can switch on IR illumination only when it is needed.
Power-Efficient Design
Despite its wide coverage, the radar averages 14.8 W for the full 40,000 m² human recognition zone, a low consumption per unit area that suits off-grid and trailer installations. Powered by an Axis High PoE 120 W midspan, it passes up to 71 W PoE out to a second device, so a PTZ camera needs no additional cable drop. Four integrated dynamic LED strips add visible deterrence.
Cybersecurity and Long-Term Support
Axis Edge Vault with a secure element (CC EAL 6+, FIPS 140-3 Level 3), signed video, secure boot and an encrypted filesystem protect the device, with EN 18031-1, ETSI EN 303 645, BSI IT Security Label and FIPS 140 certifications. Axis plans new AXIS OS features until 2030 and support until the end of 2035.
