Product Overview
Outdoor installations that rely on high-draw Axis devices often require a dedicated, weatherproof power source rated for the full range of environmental conditions. The Axis PS24 is a 24V DC, 240W outdoor power supply built to deliver stable, sustained power to compatible Axis cameras and accessories in demanding field installations. Rated IP67, it is fully sealed against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, making it appropriate for external mounting in exposed locations. With an input voltage range of 100-240V AC and a 10A output at 24V DC, it provides sufficient capacity to drive high-consumption devices such as thermal cameras, IR illuminators, and outdoor equipment housings. Operating across a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, it covers both cold-climate and high-heat deployment scenarios. The PS24 carries UL certification and a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Note that Axis Communications discontinued this product effective 30 April 2024, so available stock is limited to remaining inventory.
Key Capabilities
IP67 Weatherproof Enclosure
The PS24 is rated IP67, confirming full protection against dust ingress and temporary submersion in water. This makes it suitable for external wall mounting in exposed outdoor positions without additional housing or shelter.
240W Output at 24V DC
Delivering 10A at 24V DC with a total output of 240W, the PS24 provides enough capacity to power demanding Axis devices including thermal cameras and high-output IR illuminators without voltage sag under sustained load.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Rated from -40°C to 70°C, the PS24 functions reliably in extreme cold environments such as cold stores or alpine sites, as well as in hot outdoor locations where enclosures can reach high ambient temperatures.
Thermal Derating for Device Safety
When ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, the PS24 automatically reduces output power to a minimum of 60% of its rated capacity. This built-in derating protects both the power supply and connected devices during prolonged high-heat operation.
Best For
- Powering Axis Thermal and High-Draw Cameras: The 240W output at 24V DC covers the power requirements of devices such as the Axis Q8641-E and Q8642-E thermal cameras, which draw more than typical IP cameras.
- Outdoor IR Illuminator Installations: Compatible with the Axis T90D-series IR and W-LED illuminators, the PS24 is suited to sites where supplemental lighting is powered separately from camera infrastructure.
- Extreme Temperature Deployments: With an operating range of -40°C to 70°C, it is appropriate for installations in cold-climate facilities, unheated enclosures, or high-temperature industrial outdoor environments.
Why Choose the Axis PS24
Where a standard PoE switch or generic power adaptor cannot meet the voltage and current demands of specialised Axis equipment, the PS24 addresses the gap directly. Its 24V DC, 240W output is matched to the electrical requirements of specific Axis devices including the Q8641-E, Q8642-E thermal cameras, the T93C10 Outdoor Housing, T90D-series illuminators, and the T99A11 Positioning Unit. No equivalent internal power adaptor provides this combination of IP67 outdoor rating, UL certification, and 240W capacity in a unit dimensioned for field mounting. The wide input voltage range of 100-240V AC accommodates standard Australian single-phase supplies without modification. Its -40°C to 70°C operating range means it is not restricted to controlled environments. Available through Security Wholesalers, the PS24 is a purpose-built component for installers who need a confirmed, warranted power source for high-draw Axis outdoor systems. The 5-year manufacturer warranty reflects the build quality expected from Axis Communications infrastructure accessories.
Buyer Decision Tips
Check Stock Availability Before Ordering: The Axis PS24 was discontinued by Axis Communications on 30 April 2024. Units available now are from remaining inventory and will not be restocked once depleted. If this power supply is a critical component of a planned installation, confirm current stock levels before committing to a system design that depends on it.
Confirm Device Compatibility Before Purchase: The PS24 is designed to power specific Axis devices. Confirmed compatible products include the AXIS Q1659, AXIS T93C10 Outdoor Housing, AXIS T90D-series IR and W-LED illuminators, AXIS T99A11 Positioning Unit, and the AXIS Q8641-E and Q8642-E thermal cameras. If your target device is not on the confirmed compatibility list, verify power requirements against the 24V DC, 10A output specification before ordering.

Ideal Use Cases
Thermal Camera Installations
The PS24 is a confirmed compatible power source for the AXIS Q8641-E and Q8642-E thermal cameras. These devices have power demands that exceed what standard PoE infrastructure can provide, making a dedicated 240W supply appropriate.
Supplemental IR and White-Light Illumination
AXIS T90D-series IR and W-LED illuminators require dedicated external power. The PS24 provides the 24V DC feed these units need, making it appropriate for perimeter and open-area lighting installations where camera PoE budgets are already fully allocated.
Outdoor Housing and Positioning Systems
The AXIS T93C10 Outdoor Housing and AXIS T99A11 Positioning Unit are both listed as compatible devices. The PS24’s IP67 rating allows it to be co-located in exposed outdoor positions alongside the equipment it powers.
Cold-Climate and Industrial Environments
With a lower operating limit of -40°C, the PS24 functions reliably in refrigerated facilities, unheated outdoor enclosures, and alpine or cold-storage sites where standard power supplies would fail or fall out of specification.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are powering a confirmed compatible Axis device that requires 24V DC at up to 240W, needs an IP67-rated outdoor power supply, and stock is currently available to fulfil your project requirements.
- Consider your options if: Your installation requires PoE-based power delivery, operates at a different voltage, or will be deployed after current remaining stock is exhausted. As an end-of-life product, long-term parts and replacement availability cannot be guaranteed.
- Confirm timing before committing: Because this product is discontinued, it is not suitable as the basis for a scalable or multi-stage rollout where additional units may be needed beyond the current stock holding.
FAQs
- Which Axis devices is the PS24 confirmed compatible with?
Axis has confirmed compatibility with the AXIS Q1659 camera, AXIS T93C10 Outdoor Housing, AXIS T90D-series IR and W-LED illuminators, AXIS T99A11 Positioning Unit, and the AXIS Q8641-E and Q8642-E thermal cameras. If your device is not on this list, check its power specification against the PS24’s 24V DC, 10A output before proceeding.
- What does IP67 mean for a power supply mounted outdoors?
IP67 means the enclosure is fully sealed against dust ingress and rated for temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. In practical outdoor mounting terms, this means the PS24 can be installed in exposed positions subject to rain, hose-down, or pooling water without requiring a separate weatherproof enclosure around it.
- What happens to the output power when temperatures exceed 50°C?
Above 50°C, the PS24 automatically derate its output power to a minimum of 60% of its rated 240W capacity. This is a built-in thermal protection feature that reduces stress on internal components and connected devices during sustained high-temperature operation. The derating is automatic and does not require manual intervention.
- Is the Axis PS24 still being manufactured?
No. Axis Communications declared the PS24 end-of-life on 30 April 2024. Units available for purchase now represent remaining distributor stock. Once that inventory is depleted, the product will no longer be available through any authorised channel. Buyers with multi-stage projects should account for this before specifying the PS24 as a long-term component.
- What is the warranty period and who backs it?
The Axis PS24 carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty backed by Axis Communications. This applies to the original purchaser and covers manufacturing defects under normal operating conditions. As the product has been discontinued, warranty claims would still be managed through Axis for units purchased while the product was in active distribution. Contact Security Wholesalers for further guidance on warranty process for units purchased through their platform.
- Can the PS24 be used on standard Australian single-phase power circuits?
Yes. The PS24 accepts an input voltage range of 100-240V AC, which is compatible with standard Australian 230V single-phase electrical supply. No step-down transformer or voltage converter is required. The 277V AC input option noted in the specification applies to North American electrical standards only and is not relevant to Australian installations.
