The AXIS Q2112-E Thermal Camera delivers unmatched reliability in all lighting and environmental conditions, using thermal imaging to enable consistent detection and verification around the clock—even through smoke or light fog. With its high-sensitivity thermal sensor and low false alarm rate, it offers trusted performance ideal for critical perimeter security.
Available with five lens variants (10 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, 35 mm, 60 mm), the camera adapts to both wide-angle and long-range monitoring needs. When paired with a positioning unit (sold separately), it enables 360° coverage for superior situational awareness.
On-board analytics include AXIS Motion Guard, Fence Guard, and Loitering Guard, with the option to upgrade to the AI-based Perimeter Defender or integrate custom third-party analytics. Edge-to-edge I/O, including four I/O ports and an RS-485 serial interface, allow seamless integration with network speakers, strobes, and other alert devices.
Built for challenging environments, the Q2112-E is rated IK10, IP66/67, NEMA 4X, and NEMA TS2 for impact and weather resistance. It also offers hardware-based cybersecurity via Axis Edge Vault, featuring FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified secure key storage.
