Product Overview
Designed for hygienic and industrial environments where standard cameras cannot survive, the AXIS F4105-SLRE Dome Sensor delivers 1080p video in a compact stainless steel housing rated to IP66, IP67, IP6K9K, and IK10. Built from marine-grade SS 316L stainless steel and NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certified, this sensor unit is engineered to withstand high-pressure washdowns, chemical cleaning cycles, and extreme temperature ranges from -30°C to +55°C. Featuring a 2.8 mm lens with a 110-degree horizontal field of view and 940 nm covert IR illumination reaching 10 m or more, it delivers clear image capture without producing visible red glow. This SKU is an 8-piece pack of sensor units, each connecting via cable up to 30 m to a compatible AXIS F91 main unit. It is well suited to food processing plants, commercial kitchens, pharmaceutical facilities, cold storage areas, and marine or coastal installations where stainless construction and washdown tolerance are essential requirements.
Key Capabilities
Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Housing
The SS 316L stainless steel body resists corrosion from chlorine, cleaning chemicals, and salt air, making this sensor appropriate for environments where aluminium or plastic camera housings would degrade rapidly under repeated sanitisation routines.
IP6K9K and IK10 Multi-Rating
Rated IP66, IP67, IP6K9K, and NEMA 4X simultaneously, this sensor withstands high-pressure hot water jets and total immersion. The IK10 impact rating adds physical resilience in areas where equipment contact or accidental impact is a regular risk.
940 nm Covert Infrared Illumination
Two individually adjustable 940 nm IR LEDs provide illumination up to 10 m without producing a visible red glow. This makes the sensor suitable for covert monitoring in sensitive environments where visible IR would be noticeable to staff or the public.
1080p at 60 fps with Forensic WDR
The 1/2.8-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor captures 1080p at up to 60 fps and 720p at up to 180 fps. Forensic WDR handles scenes with strong lighting contrast, such as doorways, loading bays, and areas with overhead industrial lighting alongside shadowed zones.
Modular F-Series Architecture
This sensor connects to the AXIS F91 main unit via a cable run of up to 30 m, allowing the small sensor head to be positioned in a tight or hygienically sensitive location while the main unit sits in a protected or more accessible area. Up to 4 sensors can share a single main unit.
Best For
- Food Processing and Production Areas: NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certification and IP6K9K rating confirm this sensor can be installed in areas subject to daily high-pressure washdowns and food-safe chemical sanitisation.
- Covert Monitoring in Sensitive Spaces: The 940 nm IR produces no visible red glow during night-time or low-light operation, making this appropriate where discreet surveillance is required without alerting those being monitored.
- Cold Storage and Refrigerated Environments: An operating temperature range down to -30°C allows installation inside cool rooms, freezer corridors, and refrigerated logistics areas where standard cameras would fail.
- Marine and Coastal Installations: SS 316L stainless steel combined with NEMA 4X and salt-spray resistance makes this sensor appropriate for vessels, marine terminals, and waterfront facilities with ongoing corrosion exposure.
Why Choose the AXIS F4105-SLRE Dome Sensor
The AXIS F4105-SLRE stands apart from standard dome cameras by combining washdown-grade environmental ratings with covert 940 nm IR and a modular architecture that separates the sensor head from the processing unit. Most commercial dome cameras rated to IP67 use aluminium or engineering plastics that corrode or discolour under repeated chemical cleaning. The SS 316L stainless steel body of the F4105-SLRE does not. The NSF/ANSI 169 certification provides documented evidence that the material is appropriate for use in food-contact adjacent environments, something a standard network dome cannot offer. The 8-piece pack (02927-021) gives integrators a cost-effective way to deploy multiple sensors across a facility using shared AXIS F91 main units, reducing total infrastructure cost while maintaining image quality at each point. Available through Security Wholesalers, the F4105-SLRE is a purpose-built solution for environments where the camera housing is as important as the image sensor inside it.
Buyer Decision Tips
Main Unit is Required Separately: The F4105-SLRE is a sensor unit only and does not function as a standalone camera. It must be connected to an AXIS F91 main unit via cable (up to 30 m). Each F91 main unit supports up to 4 sensor units. Before ordering this 8-piece pack, confirm you have sufficient AXIS F91 main units available, as this pack alone provides no recording, networking, or power capability.
Lens is Exchangeable but Fixed in This Configuration: The F4105-SLRE ships with a 2.8 mm M12 lens providing 110 degrees horizontal field of view at 1080p. The M12 lens mount is exchangeable, but the included lens is best suited to close-range, wide-angle coverage rather than longer corridors or tight focal points. If your installation requires a narrower field of view or longer reach, evaluate lens options before finalising the order.

Ideal Use Cases
Food Manufacturing Lines
NSF/ANSI 169 certification and IP6K9K rating allow this sensor to be mounted directly above or beside production lines that undergo daily high-pressure hot water and chemical sanitisation without risk to the housing or internal components.
Cold Storage and Freezer Rooms
An operating temperature rating of -30°C allows this sensor to remain operational inside freezer corridors and cold rooms, areas where condensation cycling and extreme cold prevent the use of standard IP cameras.
Covert Retail or Cash Handling Areas
The compact dome profile and 940 nm covert IR illuminate a scene at night without producing any visible glow, making this sensor appropriate for discreet monitoring of till areas, safes, or back-of-house cash handling zones.
Marine and Offshore Environments
SS 316L stainless steel construction combined with NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings provides corrosion resistance suited to vessels, waterfront facilities, and offshore platforms where salt spray and moisture exposure are continuous factors.
Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Spaces
Cleanroom and laboratory environments requiring regular chemical wipe-down or spray sanitisation benefit from the stainless steel body and IP6K9K rating, which allows the sensor to remain in place during cleaning without being bagged or removed.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying cameras in washdown, food-safe, cold-storage, or corrosive environments where stainless steel housing, IP6K9K rating, and NSF/ANSI 169 certification are required, and you already have or are installing AXIS F91 main units to support the sensor heads.
- Choose a different model if: You need a standalone network camera with its own IP address, PoE input, and onboard processing, as this sensor unit cannot operate independently and requires an AXIS F91 main unit to connect to your network or VMS.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires longer IR range beyond 10 m, a tighter focal length for corridor or long-distance monitoring, or pan-tilt-zoom capability, as this fixed 2.8 mm sensor is designed for close-range wide-angle coverage only.
FAQs
- Does the F4105-SLRE work as a standalone network camera?
No. The AXIS F4105-SLRE is a sensor unit only. It does not have its own network interface, IP address, or PoE input. It must be connected via SMA cable to an AXIS F91 main unit, which provides network connectivity, power distribution, and video processing. The cable run between sensor and main unit can be up to 30 m.
- How many F4105-SLRE sensors can connect to a single AXIS F91 main unit?
Up to 4 sensor units can be connected to a single AXIS F91 main unit. The 02927-021 pack contains 8 sensors, so a minimum of 2 AXIS F91 main units would be required to operate all 8 sensors simultaneously. Plan your main unit count accordingly before ordering.
- What does NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certification mean for this camera?
NSF/ANSI 169 covers equipment used in food-adjacent environments where the housing material must not leach substances into food products and must withstand commercial cleaning agents. For this sensor, it means the stainless steel housing is certified as appropriate for use in areas such as food processing lines, commercial kitchens, and meat processing facilities where other cameras are not permitted.
- Can this sensor be used in a freezer or cold storage room?
Yes. The F4105-SLRE is rated for operation down to -30°C, which covers the majority of commercial cold storage and blast-freezing environments. When IR illumination is active, the upper operating temperature limit reduces to +45°C, but the lower end of the range is unaffected.
- Why does this sensor use 940 nm IR rather than the more common 850 nm?
At 940 nm, the infrared wavelength is completely invisible to the human eye with no visible red glow on the LED lens, even at close range. This makes the F4105-SLRE appropriate for covert monitoring scenarios where a visible IR glow would indicate camera presence or become a visual nuisance in occupied spaces. The trade-off is a slightly shorter effective range compared to 850 nm at equivalent LED power.
- Is the 2.8 mm lens the only option for the F4105-SLRE?
The sensor ships with a 2.8 mm lens providing a 110-degree horizontal field of view at 1080p. The M12 lens mount is exchangeable, meaning alternative focal lengths can be fitted if the standard lens does not suit your coverage requirement. Contact your installer or lens supplier to identify compatible M12 options before making changes.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS F4105-SLRE 8-piece pack in Australia?
The 02927-021 8-piece pack is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for trade customers across Australia. The 5-year manufacturer warranty from Axis Communications applies to all units in the pack.
