Product SKU: F4105-LRE
Product Overview
Installers working on modular surveillance projects will find the AXIS F4105-LRE a purpose-built mini dome sensor designed to pair with compatible AXIS F91 main units, not a standalone network camera. The sensor connects via a pigtail SMA cable up to 30m from the main unit, allowing the dome head to be positioned discreetly in retail ceilings, office corridors, transport interiors or outdoor entry points while processing hardware remains in a separate service location. Equipped with built-in IR illumination and a 2.8mm F1.6 M12 lens covering a 110-degree horizontal field of view, it supports wide-angle coverage in confined spaces and low-light scenes down to 0.3 lux in colour mode. Forensic WDR is available when connected to a compatible AXIS F91 main unit, helping retain image detail in high-contrast lighting. Rated IP66, IP67, IP6K9K and IK10, and tested for shock and vibration resistance, the F4105-LRE suits demanding installations including buses and washdown environments.
Key Capabilities
Modular F Series Sensor Design
Functions as a remote sensor head for compatible AXIS F91 main units, allowing the dome to be positioned up to 30m from the recorder via SMA cabling. This suits installations where a full camera body cannot fit or would be visually intrusive.
HDTV 1080p Video
Captures up to 1920 x 1080 resolution, with frame rates up to 50/60fps at 1080p depending on the connected main unit, and up to 180fps at 720p when paired with AXIS F9111 for high-speed scene capture.
Built-In IR Illumination
Integrated IR supports monitoring in complete darkness without external lighting. Combined with a 0.3 lux colour minimum illumination rating, the sensor can maintain useful image quality across a range of low-light conditions.
Forensic WDR and Barrel Distortion Correction
When connected to a compatible AXIS F91 main unit, Forensic WDR helps preserve shadow and highlight detail in scenes with backlit doorways or bright windows. Barrel distortion correction provides a more geometrically accurate wide-angle view.
Exchangeable M12 Lens
Ships with a 2.8mm F1.6 M12 lens providing a 110-degree horizontal field of view. The M12 lens mount accepts compatible replacement lenses, allowing the viewing angle to be adjusted to suit the specific scene without replacing the sensor unit.
Rugged Multi-Rating Protection
Rated IP66, IP67, IP6K9K and IK10, with shock and vibration resistance confirmed. The IP6K9K rating covers high-pressure hot water washdown, broadening the range of environments where this sensor can be installed.
Best For
- Modular Axis F Series Installations: Suited to projects using compatible AXIS F91 main units where sensors must be placed at distance from the recording or processing hardware.
- Discreet Indoor Ceiling Placement: The mini dome format is low-profile enough for retail, office, reception and corridor ceilings where a full camera body would be conspicuous.
- Transport and High-Vibration Environments: Shock and vibration resistance combined with SMA connector cabling suits onboard bus monitoring and similar mobile installations.
- Low-Light Monitoring Without Added Fixtures: Built-in IR allows coverage in dark storerooms, service corridors or overnight scenes without requiring separate IR illuminators.
- Washdown and Demanding Outdoor Areas: IP6K9K and IP67 protection support hospital corridors, food processing areas and exposed outdoor entry points where water or contaminants are present.
Why Choose the AXIS F4105-LRE
The AXIS F4105-LRE stands apart from conventional dome cameras because it is engineered specifically for the modular Axis F Series architecture. A single 4-channel AXIS F91 main unit can support multiple F4105-LRE sensors, reducing VMS licensing overhead and allowing coverage of several viewpoints without multiplying recorder hardware. The IP6K9K rating for high-pressure water resistance, IK10 vandal protection, confirmed shock and vibration resistance, and a -30°C to 55°C operating range together make this sensor usable in environments that would eliminate many alternatives. Forensic WDR, barrel distortion correction and an exchangeable M12 lens add meaningful operational flexibility for installers who need to adjust coverage after initial mounting. The 5-year warranty and bulk pack option (part number 02364-021 for 8 units) also make it a practical choice for larger deployments. This sensor is available at Security Wholesalers for professional Axis F Series installations.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: The F4105-LRE is a sensor unit only and cannot operate without a compatible AXIS F91 main unit. Before ordering, confirm the main unit model, the number of sensor channels available, the cable routing path, and whether the SMA pigtail length is sufficient for the planned installation. Cable runs between sensor and main unit are supported up to 30m.
Buyer Tip: The included 2.8mm lens covers a 110-degree horizontal field of view, which suits wide-area coverage in compact spaces. If a tighter field of view is needed for a specific aisle, counter or entry corridor, compatible M12 lenses can be substituted without replacing the sensor body itself.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Ceiling Monitoring
The mini dome format installs flush and discreetly in retail ceilings. The 110-degree horizontal field of view covers checkout counters, aisles and entry zones efficiently, while Forensic WDR helps manage the contrast created by shopfront windows and overhead lighting.
Office and Reception Interiors
Low-profile dome placement suits professional office environments and reception areas where a visible camera body would be out of place. The SMA cable allows the sensor to be routed through ceiling cavities with the main unit installed in a server or communications room.
Bus and Vehicle Interiors
Confirmed shock and vibration resistance and SMA connector cabling make the F4105-LRE suited to onboard transport monitoring. Multiple sensors can connect to a single compatible AXIS F91 main unit installed in a vehicle cabinet.
Corridors and Lift Lobbies
Built-in IR illumination and a 0.3 lux colour minimum illumination rating allow coverage in narrow corridors and lift lobbies with poor ambient light, without requiring additional lighting fixtures at each sensor location.
Outdoor Entry and Exposed Mounting Points
IP66, IP67 and IP6K9K ratings support installation in exposed outdoor entry areas, loading bay overhangs or building perimeter positions where rain, humidity or cleaning spray is present.
Multi-Sensor Distributed Layouts
Compatible 4-channel AXIS F91 main units support multiple F4105-LRE sensors per recorder, making it practical to cover several viewpoints, such as a counter, queue area and exit, from one central main unit without separate licensing for each sensor.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are building or expanding an Axis F Series modular system and need a compact 1080p dome sensor with built-in IR, Forensic WDR support and rugged IP6K9K and IK10 protection, particularly where the sensor must be positioned up to 30m from the compatible AXIS F91 main unit.
- Choose a standalone network camera if: The installation does not already include a compatible AXIS F91 main unit, or if the location requires an independently powered and networked camera with its own onboard processing, storage and direct IP connection.
- Confirm channel availability: Each F4105-LRE occupies one sensor channel on the connected main unit. Verify the channel count of the planned AXIS F91 unit before purchasing multiple sensors for the same system.
- Consider the lens before ordering: The included 2.8mm lens suits wide-area coverage in compact spaces. If a tighter angle is required for a specific counter or doorway, factor in a compatible replacement M12 lens as a separate item.
FAQs
- Can the AXIS F4105-LRE operate as a standalone camera without a main unit?
No. The F4105-LRE is a remote sensor head and requires a compatible AXIS F91 main unit to function. The sensor provides the optics, IR and image capture, while the main unit handles network connectivity, video processing and storage integration. The sensor alone cannot be connected directly to a network switch or recorder.
- What AXIS F91 main units is the F4105-LRE compatible with?
The F4105-LRE is designed for compatible AXIS F91 main units, including both 1-channel and 4-channel models. Axis recommends confirming compatibility with the specific F91 variant being used, as frame rate capabilities can differ between main units, including the 180fps option available with the AXIS F9111.
- What is the maximum cable run between the sensor and the main unit?
The F4105-LRE connects to a compatible AXIS F91 main unit using cables up to 30m in length via the SMA pigtail connector. This allows the sensor dome to be placed in a ceiling, vehicle interior or wall position while the main unit remains in a cabinet or service area.
- What does the IP6K9K rating mean for this sensor?
IP6K9K certifies protection against high-pressure hot water washdown, which goes beyond standard IP67 water immersion ratings. This makes the F4105-LRE suitable for environments such as hospitals, food processing areas or industrial washdown zones where standard cameras would not be appropriate.
- Does Forensic WDR work on the sensor itself?
Forensic WDR is a processing feature enabled by the connected AXIS F91 main unit, not a function processed within the sensor head itself. When paired with a compatible F91 main unit that supports Forensic WDR, the feature is available to help retain image detail in high-contrast lighting scenes.
- Can the 2.8mm lens be replaced with a different focal length?
Yes. The F4105-LRE uses an M12 lens mount, and the included 2.8mm F1.6 lens can be exchanged for compatible M12 lenses to achieve a different horizontal field of view. This is useful when the installation requires a tighter angle for a specific counter, doorway or corridor rather than the standard 110-degree wide-angle coverage.
- Is the sensor suitable for transport or vehicle installations?
Yes. The F4105-LRE is confirmed to withstand shock and vibrations, and the SMA connector cabling supports routing through vehicle structures. These properties, combined with IP66/IP67/IP6K9K protection and a -30°C to 55°C operating range, make it a practical choice for bus or fleet monitoring projects using compatible Axis F Series main units.
- Is there a bulk purchase option for the F4105-LRE?
Yes. An 8-piece bulk pack is available under part number 02364-021 for projects requiring multiple sensors. Security Wholesalers supplies the F4105-LRE for professional Axis modular installations, and the bulk pack can reduce per-unit cost for larger multi-sensor deployments across compatible AXIS F91 systems.
