Product Overview
Built for environments where most cameras simply cannot survive, the Axis F4105-SLRE is a stainless steel mini dome sensor engineered for hygiene-critical and chemically aggressive settings including food processing lines, beverage production areas, commercial kitchens, and pharmaceutical facilities. Constructed from SS 316L stainless steel with a polycarbonate hard-coated dome and dehumidifying membranes, it carries IP66, IP67, and IP69 ratings, meaning it withstands full hot pressure water washdowns and exposure to harsh detergents without compromise. It is NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certified, confirming suitability for food zone monitoring. As part of the modular Axis F-series, the F4105-SLRE connects to an AXIS F91 main unit via cables up to 30 m, enabling discreet sensor placement in locations that would be impractical for a full camera body. Featuring a 2.8 mm fixed lens with a 110-degree horizontal field of view and 1080p resolution at up to 60 fps, it delivers detailed coverage of production areas, entry points, and washdown zones day and night.
Key Capabilities
SS 316L Stainless Steel Construction
The sensor body is fabricated from SS 316L stainless steel, the grade preferred in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It resists corrosion from chlorine-based cleaning agents, acids, and high-temperature water used in daily facility washdowns, ensuring the sensor survives production hygiene cycles without degradation.
IP69 Washdown Rating
In addition to IP66 and IP67, the IP69 rating confirms the F4105-SLRE withstands high-pressure, high-temperature water jets directed at close range. This rating is specifically relevant for food processing environments where pressure washdowns are part of the standard cleaning protocol.
NSF/ANSI 169 Certified
The NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certification formally recognises the sensor as suitable for use in food zones. This provides facility managers and compliance teams with documented evidence that the installed surveillance hardware meets accepted sanitary equipment standards, reducing audit risk.
Modular F-Series Design
The sensor connects to an AXIS F91 main unit via cables up to 30 m, separating the camera optics from the processing hardware. This allows the compact sensor to be positioned in tight, hygiene-sensitive spots, inside machinery housings, overhead on production lines, or inside refrigerated rooms, while the main unit is mounted in a more accessible location.
1080p at 60 fps with Wide FOV
The 2.8 mm F1.6 lens delivers a 110-degree horizontal field of view at full 1080p resolution and up to 60 fps. This combination covers wide production areas in a single sensor view and captures fast-moving activity on conveyor lines or at entry points with enough frame rate to avoid motion blur in footage review.
Best For
- Food Processing Facilities: NSF/ANSI 169 certification and SS 316L stainless steel construction make this sensor suitable for monitoring directly within food production and packaging zones that undergo daily chemical and pressure washdowns.
- Washdown Zones and Wet Environments: The IP69 rating confirms the sensor can be hit directly with high-pressure hot water jets, making it appropriate for areas such as abattoirs, fish processing rooms, brewery production floors, and commercial kitchen monitoring.
- Discreet In-Facility Monitoring: The compact mini dome profile and modular design allow the sensor to be placed inside machinery housings, in ceiling recesses, or in confined overhead positions where a standard full-body camera could not be mounted or maintained.
- Extreme Temperature Installations: With an operating range of -30°C to 45°C and a NEMA TS2 rating allowing up to 74°C for 15 hours, the sensor covers refrigerated storage rooms at the low end and hot production or industrial spaces at the upper end.
Why Choose the Axis F4105-SLRE
Most surveillance cameras are not designed to tolerate what food and pharmaceutical facilities demand: daily pressure washdowns, aggressive cleaning chemicals, temperature extremes, and regulatory hygiene compliance. The Axis F4105-SLRE addresses each of these conditions directly. Its SS 316L stainless steel body resists the corrosive cleaning agents used in HACCP-compliant facilities, while its IP69 rating means the sensor survives direct high-pressure water jets rather than merely splash resistance. The NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certification provides a documented compliance record. The modular connection to the F91 main unit via up to 30 m of cable means the sensor can be located precisely where monitoring is needed, without requiring the full camera unit to endure the same conditions. A five-year manufacturer warranty reflects the build quality expected of this class of installation. The F4105-SLRE is available at Security Wholesalers for facilities where standard IP cameras are simply not an appropriate specification.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip 1 – Sensor Requires a Main Unit: The F4105-SLRE is a modular sensor, not a standalone camera. It must be paired with an AXIS F91 main unit to operate. The main unit handles power, network connectivity, and video processing. If your project budget or design does not include the F91 main unit, this sensor cannot function independently. Confirm the main unit is part of your system design before purchasing the sensor.
Buyer Tip 2 – Lens Choice and FOV Planning: The default 2.8 mm lens provides a 110-degree horizontal field of view at 1080p, which suits broad area coverage in production halls or corridors. The M12 lens mount is exchangeable, so if your installation requires a narrower field of view for a longer monitoring distance, an alternative M12 lens can be fitted. Plan the coverage angle against your specific monitoring area before finalising the lens selection.

Ideal Use Cases
Food Production Lines
The NSF/ANSI 169 certification and SS 316L stainless steel body allow the sensor to be positioned directly above conveyor lines and processing tables. The 110-degree field of view at 1080p captures the full width of a standard production line from an overhead ceiling mount.
Wet and Washdown Areas
IP69 certification confirms the F4105-SLRE withstands high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. This makes it appropriate for abattoirs, seafood processing rooms, brewery floors, and commercial kitchen areas that require daily or multiple-shift pressure washdowns.
Refrigerated and Cold Storage Rooms
With a confirmed operating low of -30°C, the sensor functions in deep-freeze cold stores and refrigerated warehouses where standard cameras fail or require costly heated enclosures. The dehumidifying membranes in the dome prevent condensation fogging at low temperatures.
Pharmaceutical and Cleanroom Monitoring
The corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing tolerates the alcohol-based and oxidising cleaning agents common in pharmaceutical manufacturing environments, while the compact mini dome profile minimises the sensor footprint in hygiene-controlled spaces.
Confined and In-Machinery Locations
The modular F-series architecture allows the sensor body to be positioned up to 30 m from the F91 main unit. This separation means the compact sensor can be mounted inside equipment housings, within tight ceiling recesses, or in locations inaccessible to a standard camera unit, with the processing hardware located in a more serviceable position.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation is in a food processing, pharmaceutical, or washdown environment that requires NSF/ANSI 169 compliance, IP69 washdown tolerance, and SS 316L stainless steel construction, and you are already using or planning to deploy an AXIS F91 main unit.
- Choose a different model if: You need a standalone camera with its own network connection and power input. The F4105-SLRE cannot operate without an AXIS F91 main unit, so if your project requires a self-contained camera without a separate processing unit, a standard network dome or turret camera in an IP66-rated housing would be more appropriate.
- Choose a different model if: Your monitoring distance exceeds 10 m in low-light or unlit conditions. The on-board IR illumination is rated to 10 m, so installations requiring longer night-vision range will need a camera with a higher-rated IR system or supplementary lighting.
FAQs
- Does the F4105-SLRE work as a standalone network camera?
No. The F4105-SLRE is a modular sensor unit and must be connected to an AXIS F91 main unit to function. The main unit provides power, network connectivity, and video processing. The sensor alone has no independent PoE port or network interface. If you need a self-contained camera, the F4105-SLRE is not the correct product for your application.
- What does the NSF/ANSI Standard 169 certification mean for food facility installations?
NSF/ANSI Standard 169 covers special purpose food equipment and devices. A product certified to this standard has been assessed as meeting accepted hygienic design and material requirements for use in food processing environments. This provides facility managers and auditors with documented evidence that the installed surveillance sensor meets sanitary equipment expectations, which can be relevant for HACCP and food safety compliance documentation.
- What is the maximum cable length between the sensor and the F91 main unit?
The F4105-SLRE sensor can be connected to the AXIS F91 main unit using cables up to 30 m (98 ft.) in length. This allows the compact sensor to be positioned in a hygiene zone, cold store, or confined machinery location, while the main unit is mounted in a more accessible or environmentally controlled area nearby.
- Can the default 2.8 mm lens be replaced with a different focal length?
Yes. The F4105-SLRE uses an M12 lens mount, and the factory-fitted 2.8 mm F1.6 lens is exchangeable. Alternative M12 lenses can be fitted where the installation requires a different field of view, such as a narrower angle for monitoring a longer corridor or access point. Confirm lens compatibility with the F-series before purchasing a replacement lens.
- What IP rating does the F4105-SLRE carry, and does it cover pressure washdowns?
The sensor carries IP66, IP67, and IP69 ratings simultaneously. IP69 is the rating most relevant to pressure washdown environments. It confirms the sensor withstands high-pressure water jets at close range and elevated temperatures, the conditions typical of daily washdown procedures in food processing, beverage production, and meat processing facilities.
- Is the F4105-SLRE suitable for monitoring in a refrigerated cold store?
Yes. The confirmed operating temperature range is -30°C to 45°C, covering deep-freeze cold storage environments without requiring supplementary heating enclosures. The dome also incorporates dehumidifying membranes to prevent condensation fogging when the sensor moves between temperature zones. This makes it one of the more direct options for cold chain monitoring available through Security Wholesalers.
