High-Resolution Thermal Imaging for Perimeter Protection
The AXIS Q1972-E 19 mm 8.3 fps Thermal Camera provides reliable thermal imaging for perimeter and outdoor security applications. With a 19 mm F1.0 athermalized lens and a 31° horizontal field of view, it delivers detailed thermal video suitable for monitoring larger areas while maintaining accurate detection performance. The high-resolution 640×480 thermal sensor and <20 mK sensitivity ensure strong contrast and clear thermal information in darkness, smoke, haze, and challenging weather.
Powered by the ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip with a deep-learning processing unit, this camera supports advanced analytics such as AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, and AXIS Loitering Guard. Built-in cybersecurity features including Axis Edge Vault, TPM 2.0, and secure boot help protect the device and video data. Rugged IP66/IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings ensure dependable operation in harsh outdoor environments.
