Wide-Angle Thermal Imaging for Reliable Outdoor Detection
The AXIS Q1972-E 10 mm 8.3 fps variant delivers wide-angle thermal coverage optimized for short- to medium-range outdoor surveillance. With a 10 mm F1.2 athermalized lens and a 63° × 46° field of view, it is ideal for monitoring open areas, facility perimeters, and zones where maximum scene width is required. The 640×480 uncooled thermal sensor and <20 mK sensitivity provide strong thermal contrast for accurate detection in total darkness, fog, smoke, and adverse weather.
Powered by the ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip with a deep-learning processing unit (DLPU), this camera supports advanced AI-based analytics including AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, and AXIS Loitering Guard. Robust cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault and TPM 2.0 helps protect device identity and video integrity. Its IP66/IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X-rated housing ensures long-term durability in harsh outdoor environments.
