AXIS Q1971-E Outdoor Thermal Camera, 13 mm fixed lens, 30 fps, IK10, white
AXIS Q1971-E Thermal Camera with 13mm lens is an advanced thermal camera that eliminates the dependence on daylight and visual imagery to offer exceptional detection and verification around the clock.
It is particularly well-suited for perimeter protection in critical outdoor environments, where the rugged, halogen-free design withstands harsh conditions and delivers consistent performance even in fog, smoke, snowfall or total darkness.
Technical performance with 13mm lens
This variant of the Q1971-E is equipped with a fixed 13mm athermalized lens with a brightness of F1.0.
The lens provides a horizontal field of view of 29° and a vertical field of view of 22°, making it ideal for monitoring moderately large areas such as loading docks, gate passages or specific sectors of a large area.
The close focusing distance of 4.7 meters ensures sharp detection even at relatively short distances. The heart of the camera is an uncooled 384×288 pixel microbolometer sensor with a very high sensitivity (NETD <20 mK), which guarantees clear and detailed thermal images to detect presence and activity with high precision.
AI-based analytics and proactive monitoring
With a powerful ARTPEC-8 System-on-Chip and a dedicated Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU), the Q1971-E is an intelligent device that supports advanced analytics.
It comes with built-in analysts such as AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Fence Guard and AXIS Loitering Guard.
For additional protection, the powerful AI analyst AXIS Perimeter Defender can be activated, enabling accurate classification and early detection of intruders.
The platform also supports third-party analysts via AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP), providing endless possibilities for customization.
Leading cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault
In today's connected world, cybersecurity is essential. AXIS Q1971-E has the Axis Edge Vault hardware-based security platform built in.
This platform protects device identity and integrity through features such as secure boot and a secure keystore that is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified.
It also offers “signed video,” which guarantees that video evidence has not been tampered with and can be traced back to this particular camera.
Robust construction and easy integration
The camera is built to be durable with an aluminum and polycarbonate case that meets IP66/IP67, IK10 and NEMA 4X protection ratings.
It can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 60°C and condensing humidity. For easy integration and operation, it supports a wide range of network protocols, ONVIF profiles (G, M, S, T) and VAPIX API.
I/O ports allow external equipment such as sirens or lights to be connected directly to the camera for immediate action. It is powered via PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at) or 12-28 V DC, providing flexibility in installation.
Images and video streams
Although the sensor's native resolution is 384×288, it can be scaled up to 768×576 for improved visual detail.
The camera supports video at up to 30 frames per second and multiple streams in H.264, H.265, and Motion JPEG.
Axis Zipstream technology reduces bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50 % without sacrificing forensically important information.
In conclusion, AXIS Q1971-E with 13mm lens is an excellent choice for specific surveillance needs that require a balance between coverage area and level of detail.
Its combination of unparalleled thermal detection, AI capabilities, robust cybersecurity, and reliable construction makes it a prime choice for proactively protecting facilities and infrastructure.
