Product SKU: D2110-VE
Product Overview
Perimeter monitoring across industrial sites, car parks, and large outdoor boundaries demands detection that holds up regardless of lighting, weather, or glare. The AXIS D2110-VE Security Radar is a network-based outdoor sensor that uses radio waves combined with machine learning analytics to detect, classify, and track humans and vehicles across a 180-degree field of view without depending on visible light. Featuring two selectable detection profiles, Area Monitoring for humans and low-speed vehicles and Road Monitoring for faster traffic, the D2110-VE can be tuned to the movement patterns of each monitored zone. Equipped with PoE-out, it can power an additional device such as a network camera or horn speaker directly from the radar unit, enabling visual verification without separate power cabling. It is well suited to industrial perimeters, warehouse boundaries, utility sites, and large outdoor areas where camera-based detection alone is unreliable due to darkness, fog, or shifting lighting conditions.
Key Capabilities
Light-Independent 24/7 Detection
The D2110-VE uses radio waves rather than visible light, meaning detection performance is not affected by darkness, glare, backlight, or headlights. Industrial and utility sites with no external lighting can be monitored continuously without any degradation in detection accuracy.
180-Degree Coverage with Dual Detection Profiles
A single unit covers a full 180-degree horizontal arc. The Area Monitoring profile targets humans and slower-moving vehicles across open zones, while the Road Monitoring profile is tuned for faster vehicle detection on access roads and driveways, giving installers a practical way to match the radar to the site.
AI-Based Object Classification and Tracking
Built-in machine learning and deep learning analytics classify detected objects as humans or vehicles and track their movement in real time. This targeted classification reduces unnecessary alerts triggered by animals, blowing debris, or other non-relevant motion sources common on industrial perimeters.
PoE-Out for Direct Device Pairing
The radar includes a PoE-out port that can power a connected network camera or horn speaker from the same unit. This simplifies deployment at perimeter points where running separate power cabling is impractical, and enables immediate visual verification or audio deterrence triggered directly by a radar detection event.
Smart Coexistence for Extended Coverage
Multiple D2110-VE units can be mounted in close proximity, including back-to-back, without significant interference between them. Two units mounted back-to-back on a pole deliver full 360-degree coverage of an area, making this practical for isolated monitoring points such as gate pillars or perimeter corners.
Tamper and Shock Detection
Built-in shock detection and casing-open detection alert operators if the radar unit is physically struck or opened. For unmanned industrial sites and remote outdoor locations, this layer of device-level security provides early warning if someone attempts to disable or interfere with the sensor.
Best For
- Industrial Perimeter Monitoring: The 180-degree coverage and weather-independent detection make the D2110-VE well suited to factory boundaries, utility site fences, and warehouse perimeters where camera-based systems are compromised by poor lighting at night.
- Access Road and Entry Point Control: The Road Monitoring profile is designed for detecting vehicles moving at higher speeds, supporting monitoring of private driveways, service roads, and facility entrances without relying on overhead lighting.
- Triggering PTZ or Fixed Cameras on Detection: The radar’s object classification and tracking output can be used to trigger connected visual cameras only when a human or vehicle is detected, reducing unnecessary recording and bandwidth consumption.
- Large Open Outdoor Spaces: Parks, campuses, open plazas, and ports benefit from the D2110-VE’s ability to detect movement across wide outdoor areas where multiple cameras would otherwise be required to achieve equivalent coverage.
- Remote or Unlit Locations: Sites with no permanent lighting infrastructure, including remote substations, rural storage facilities, and construction compounds, are strong candidates given the radar’s complete independence from ambient or artificial light.
Why Choose the AXIS D2110-VE
Where camera-based perimeter detection fails at night or in adverse weather, the AXIS D2110-VE Security Radar continues to perform. Its radio-wave detection is not affected by darkness, glare, fog, or lighting changes, addressing a fundamental limitation of optical sensors on industrial and outdoor sites. The built-in AI classifies objects as humans or vehicles in real time, filtering out irrelevant motion so security teams receive actionable alerts rather than constant noise. The PoE-out port sets this model apart from basic radar units by allowing a connected camera or speaker to be powered directly from the radar, creating a self-contained detection and verification point without additional power infrastructure. Smart coexistence means multiple units can be deployed close together for expanded or 360-degree coverage without interference. Available through Security Wholesalers, the D2110-VE is the appropriate choice for sites where detection integrity across all conditions is the primary requirement.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip 1 – This is a radar sensor, not a camera: The D2110-VE does not capture video footage. It detects, classifies, and tracks objects using radio waves and outputs detection data to trigger connected systems. For any visual recording or identification, a separate network camera must be connected, either powered via the onboard PoE-out port or cabled independently. Factor a paired camera into your installation plan if visual evidence is a requirement.
Buyer Tip 2 – Match the detection profile to the site type: Select Area Monitoring for zones where the primary concern is pedestrian intrusion or slow-moving vehicles, such as open yards, parks, or building perimeters. Select Road Monitoring for access roads and driveways where vehicle speed is a factor. Choosing the wrong profile for a site can result in missed detections or elevated false alarm rates, so confirm the dominant object type and speed range during site assessment before installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Industrial Site Perimeters
Factories, warehouses, and utilities can monitor boundary lines continuously using the D2110-VE’s 24/7 light-independent detection. The radar classifies intrusions as humans or vehicles rather than generating blanket motion alerts, reducing the burden on operators managing large unmanned sites overnight.
Access Roads and Private Driveways
The Road Monitoring profile is designed for detecting vehicles at higher speeds, making it practical for private roads, facility entrance gates, and service vehicle zones. Compatible with AXIS Speed Monitor, it can also collect vehicle speed data where traffic management is a secondary requirement.
Car Parks and Facility Entrances
The D2110-VE detects vehicles up to approximately 85 m and humans up to approximately 60 m, covering wide entry areas from a single mounting point. Triggering a connected verification camera only on confirmed detection reduces unnecessary recording and storage consumption across multi-camera car park installations.
Large Open Public Spaces
Parks, university campuses, and open plazas benefit from the 180-degree coverage arc of the D2110-VE, which can monitor wide areas from a single position. AI tracking follows detected objects across the monitored zone, allowing security teams to respond to movement before it reaches a sensitive boundary.
PTZ or Camera Trigger Integration
The radar’s detection output can be used to trigger a PTZ or fixed visual camera to point and record only when a human or vehicle is confirmed present. The PoE-out port supports powering the paired camera directly from the radar, streamlining cabling at remote detection points.
Remote and Unlit Environments
Construction compounds, rural storage facilities, remote substations, and port facilities with inconsistent or absent lighting are strong deployment scenarios. Because the D2110-VE is not dependent on ambient or installed lighting, it maintains consistent detection performance that optical sensors cannot match in these conditions.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: your site requires continuous outdoor perimeter detection that is not affected by darkness, fog, or lighting changes, and you need AI-based classification of humans versus vehicles to filter alerts before triggering visual cameras or alarms.
- Choose this model if: you need to power a paired verification camera or speaker from a single Ethernet run at a remote perimeter point, using the onboard PoE-out to simplify cabling infrastructure.
- Choose a different model if: your primary requirement is captured video footage for identification or evidence. A radar sensor does not record images. A network camera with AI analytics would be the appropriate choice if visual documentation is the core need rather than wide-area motion detection.
- Choose a different model if: the monitored area is indoors or in a controlled lighting environment where standard camera-based analytics already perform reliably. The D2110-VE is engineered specifically for outdoor and adverse-condition scenarios where optical detection is unreliable.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS D2110-VE record video footage?
No. The D2110-VE is a radar sensor, not a camera. It detects, classifies, and tracks objects using radio waves and outputs detection data to connected systems or triggers. For visual footage, a separate network camera must be deployed alongside it. The onboard PoE-out port can power a paired camera directly from the radar unit.
- How does radar detection differ from camera-based motion detection?
Camera-based motion detection relies on visible light and is affected by darkness, glare, shadows, and weather. The D2110-VE uses radio waves, which means it detects objects regardless of lighting level or many weather conditions. It provides position, movement direction, and speed data but does not capture images. A connected camera handles visual verification when the radar triggers an event.
- What does the PoE-out port do and how is it used in a perimeter installation?
PoE-out allows the D2110-VE to supply power over Ethernet to one additional connected device, such as a network camera or horn speaker. In a perimeter installation this means you can run a single Ethernet cable to the radar mounting point and branch off to a verification camera without routing separate power cabling, which is particularly useful at fence lines or remote poles.
- What are the two detection profiles and when should each be selected?
Area Monitoring is optimised for detecting humans and slow-moving vehicles across open zones such as yards, car parks, and building perimeters. Road Monitoring is designed for detecting faster-moving vehicles on access roads and driveways. Selecting the correct profile for the site type improves detection accuracy and reduces false alerts from object types that are not relevant to the monitored scenario.
- How far can the D2110-VE detect people and vehicles?
Under typical conditions it detects humans up to approximately 60 m and vehicles up to approximately 85 m. Actual performance can vary depending on the environment, terrain, and whether obstructions are present in the coverage arc. The 180-degree horizontal field of view covers a wide arc from a single mounting point at these ranges.
- Can multiple D2110-VE units be used together without interference?
Yes. The D2110-VE supports smart coexistence, meaning multiple units can be mounted in close proximity including directly back-to-back on a single pole without significant interference. Two units mounted back-to-back deliver full 360-degree radar coverage from one installation point, which is practical for isolated detection positions such as perimeter corners or standalone poles in open areas.
- What happens if someone physically interferes with the radar unit?
The D2110-VE includes both shock detection and casing-open detection. If the unit is physically struck or the housing is opened, it generates a tamper alert that can be forwarded to connected management software or operators. This is particularly relevant for unmanned sites where physical interference with detection equipment is a security concern in its own right.
- Is the D2110-VE compatible with video management software and where can it be sourced?
Yes, the D2110-VE is compatible with a range of third-party video management software platforms. It also supports integration with AXIS Speed Monitor for vehicle speed display and statistics on road-side deployments. The unit is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the AXIS Communications product range, suitable for integration into new or existing network-based security systems.
