Axis F2115-R Varifocal Modular Camera Sensor

The Axis F2115-R is a modular varifocal image sensor designed for seamless integration into Axis F-series camera systems. This compact sensor module delivers field-adjustable focal length via its 3.2-5.7mm varifocal lens, eliminating the need for multiple fixed-lens units in multi-camera deployments. The F2115-R is supplied as an 8-pack bulk unit (SKU 02639-021), optimizing procurement and logistics for system integrators and installers managing large-scale surveillance installations.

Key Features

Varifocal 3.2-5.7mm lens: Horizontal field of view ranges from 107.4° (wide-angle) to 56.3° (telephoto) at 1080p, accommodating both area monitoring and targeted detail capture without lens changes

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Handles challenging lighting conditions with high contrast between bright and dark areas

Progressive-scan 1/2.8" CMOS sensor: Delivers clean, motion-artifact-free video with excellent low-light performance at 0.1 lux color minimum illumination

High frame rates: Up to 60/50 fps at 1080p; 180/175 fps at 720p for smooth full-motion capture and analytics workloads

Fixed iris design: Simplified mechanical construction with consistent exposure control

M12 connector: Tool-free, secure field installation for rapid deployment

IP50 rating: Dust and splash protection suitable for indoor and semi-protected outdoor environments

PoE Class 5: High-power over Ethernet support for flexible cabling infrastructure

Technical Specifications

Form Factor: Modular sensor component

Lens Type: Varifocal with F2.2-F3.1 aperture range

Warranty: 5 years

Applications

The F2115-R is ideal for integrators building flexible modular surveillance systems where focal length adjustment is required without hardware replacement. Typical use cases include retail environments, office buildings, warehouses, and mixed-coverage areas requiring both wide-area monitoring and detailed observation. The 8-pack configuration is optimized for multi-camera projects where consistency and standardization reduce inventory complexity.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The modular architecture of the F2115-R addresses a key pain point in surveillance system design: the need to balance wide-angle coverage with targeted detail capture. By offering field-adjustable varifocal capability within a compact modular form factor, this sensor eliminates costly lens inventory management and simplifies installation workflows. The combination of WDR technology, high frame rate support, and PoE Class 5 power delivery makes this sensor suitable for demanding mixed-lighting environments.

The 5-year warranty reflects Axis' confidence in component reliability, a critical consideration for systems integrators building long-term surveillance infrastructure.
