AXIS Q2112-E 640x480 Outdoor Thermal Camera, 19 mm 8.3 fps, 02605-001

AXIS Q2112-E 19 mm 8.3 fps 640x480 Outdoor Thermal Camera

The AXIS Q2112-E 19 mm 8.3 fps (02605-001) is the 8.3 fps version of the AXIS Q2112-E outdoor thermal camera with the 19 mm lens: a 640x480 uncooled microbolometer with NETD below 20 mK and a 31° horizontal field of view. Because it images heat rather than light, it detects people and vehicles 24/7 in darkness, smoke and light fog, with electronic image stabilization and color palettes, AXIS Motion Guard, Fence Guard and Loitering Guard included and AXIS Perimeter Defender supported. Axis Edge Vault, four I/O ports, an RS485/RS422 port and edge-to-edge speaker pairing come standard, and the IP66/IP67, IK10, NEMA 4X and NEMA TS 2-rated casing is built for perimeters, fence lines and total darkness.

Detection in Total Darkness

A thermal camera sees heat, not light, so it needs no illumination and is not affected by darkness, glare or low sun, and it keeps working in smoke and light fog. The uncooled microbolometer covers the 8–14 µm spectral range with a sensitivity (NETD) below 20 mK, which keeps the false alarm rate low in low-contrast scenes. Multiple color palettes help operators read the scene, and because thermal images do not allow identification, they suit sites where privacy matters.

19 mm Lens Coverage and Detection Range

The 19 mm athermalized F1.0 lens gives a 31° horizontal and 24° vertical field of view, with a near focus distance of 8.5 m (28 ft). Using Johnson's criteria, AXIS gives theoretical ranges of 559 m (1,834 ft) to detect a person and 1,596 m (5,235 ft) to detect a vehicle, 140 m (460 ft) to recognize a person and 70 m (230 ft) to identify one. Weather affects real distances, so plan the scene with AXIS Site Designer. The AXIS Q2112-E is offered with 10, 19, 25, 35, 60 and 100 mm lenses, each in an 8.3 fps and a 30 fps version.

Built-In Analytics

AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, active tampering alarm and audio detection are included. AXIS Perimeter Defender, which detects and classifies humans and vehicles, is supported and sold separately, and the AXIS Camera Application Platform lets you add third-party analytics. The ARTPEC-8 chip includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU).

Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault is a hardware-based cybersecurity platform with TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2), a secure element (CC EAL 6+), Axis device ID, secure keystore, signed video, secure boot and an encrypted filesystem. Signed firmware, brute force delay protection, OAuth 2.0, IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec), HTTPS/HSTS, TLS 1.2/1.3 and a host-based firewall protect it on the network. ONVIF Profile G, M, S and T and the VAPIX API support AXIS Camera Station and partner VMS software.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Sites

The aluminum casing weighs 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) and is IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK10 rated, operating from -40 °C to 60 °C (up to 74 °C per NEMA TS 2). Mounting accessories are not included: choose the AXIS TQ1003-E Wall Mount for fixed installs or the AXIS TQ1818-E Positioning Unit for a 360° view with guard tours of up to 256 presets. It has four configurable inputs/outputs (two supervised, two unsupervised) and an RS485/RS422 serial port, mic/line in and line out, and runs on PoE Class 4 or 10–28 V DC.

Typical Applications

• Perimeters and fence lines
• Critical infrastructure, utility and industrial sites
• Long-range detection from a positioning unit
• Storage yards, ports and open ground
• Building exteriors and areas with no lighting
• Sites where privacy rules out visual cameras

Frequently Asked Questions About the AXIS Q2112-E 19 mm 8.3 fps

What thermal resolution does the AXIS Q2112-E 19 mm 8.3 fps have?

640x480 pixels from an uncooled microbolometer with a 17 µm pixel pitch; the video can be scaled up to 800x600.

What is the thermal sensitivity?

NETD below 20 mK at 25 °C, F1.0, over a spectral range of 8–14 µm.

What field of view does the 19 mm lens give?

31° horizontal and 24° vertical, with an athermalized F1.0 lens and a near focus distance of 8.5 m (28 ft).

How far can the 19 mm lens detect a person?

Using Johnson's criteria, AXIS rates this lens at theoretical distances of 559 m (1,834 ft) to detect, 140 m (460 ft) to recognize and 70 m (230 ft) to identify a person, and 1,596 m (5,235 ft) to detect a vehicle. Actual range depends on weather and the scene; AXIS Site Designer helps plan it.

What is the difference between the 8.3 fps and 30 fps versions?

The maximum thermal frame rate. This part number (02605-001) streams at up to 8.3 fps, while the 19 mm 30 fps version (02606-001) streams at up to 30 fps. AXIS covers both in one datasheet with the same sensor, lens and ratings.

Does it work in complete darkness?

Yes. It forms its image from heat, so it needs no visible light or IR illuminator, and it keeps detecting through smoke and light fog.

Which analytics are included?
