Axis Communications F2105-RE Standard Sensor Overview
The Axis Communications F2105-RE Standard Sensor (MPN 02640-021) is a compact, modular image sensor unit designed for distributed surveillance architectures. Supplied in an 8-piece bulk pack, this sensor delivers 1080p and 720p resolution options with a fixed 3.1mm F2.0 lens and day/night operation. The F2105-RE integrates with Axis modular camera systems—specifically requiring an Axis F91 Main Unit for operation—making it ideal for integrators building multi-sensor deployments where space, transport efficiency, and cost control are priorities.
Axis F2105-RE Standard Sensor Key Features
- Dual Resolution Capture Modes – Selectable 1080p (1920×1080) at up to 60 fps or 720p (1280×720) at up to 180 fps, with or without Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for high-contrast scenes
- 1/2.8" Progressive Scan CMOS Sensor – RGB color imaging with 0.1 lux minimum illumination in color mode, supporting both day and night operation with fixed IR-cut filter for automatic color/B&W switching
- Fixed 3.1mm Lens with 108° Horizontal FOV – Wide horizontal field of view of 108° (1080p) or 70° (720p), with vertical coverage of 58° (1080p) or 39° (720p), optimized for compact installations
- IP66/IP67 and IP6K9K Weatherproofing – Dust-tight and submersible design rated to IP66/IP67 standards; IP6K9K rating supports high-pressure washdown environments; NEMA Type 4x enclosure-rated aluminum casing in black (NCS S 9000-N)
- M12 Mount Connector – Standardized M12 interface for quick-disconnect modular integration, simplifying field replacement and multi-sensor workflows
- Compact Dimensions and Lightweight Design – 46mm length × 29.8mm diameter, weighing only 50g, enabling dense mounting and minimal transport/storage footprint per unit
- WDR Support with Flexible Shutter Control – Adjustable exposure via WDR modes (30/25 fps at 1080p WDR, 60/50 fps at 1080p non-WDR) with shutter speeds from 1/27,000 to 1 second, accommodating challenging lighting transitions
- Modular System Architecture – Designed to work exclusively with Axis F91 Main Unit for processing, analytics, and streaming; cable connectivity via AXIS TU6004-E or TU6005 Plenum cables with equivalent IP ratings
- Low Power Consumption – Typical 1W, maximum 1.7W, minimizing thermal load and power delivery requirements in multi-sensor deployments
- Bulk Packaging for Cost Efficiency – 8-piece pack (02640-021) reduces per-unit transport and storage costs compared to individual sensor orders, supporting large-scale system rollouts
- Extreme Temperature Tolerance – Operating range from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to 140°F), with maximum temperature per NEMA TS2 rated at 74°C (165°F), and start-up capability at -40°C for harsh outdoor or industrial environments
- Wide Humidity Range – 10–100% RH operating (condensing) and 5–95% RH storage (non-condensing), rated to IEC60068 vibration, shock, and thermal cycling standards (IEC60068-2-1, 2-2, 2-14, 2-27, 2-64, 2-78)
Axis F2105-RE Standard Sensor Integration and Compatibility
The F2105-RE operates exclusively as a sensor unit within the Axis modular F-series ecosystem and requires an Axis F91 Main Unit to function. The main unit handles video processing, codec selection, frame rate management, and network delivery. Sensor units connect via M12 connector to compatible cables (AXIS TU6004-E or AXIS TU6005 Plenum Cable) that carry power and video signals back to the main unit. This architecture enables multi-sensor configurations where each sensor can operate at different capture modes and resolutions simultaneously. Integration with broader VMS platforms depends on the capabilities of the paired F91 Main Unit and its ONVIF profile support. Installers should verify main unit specifications and cable IP-rating compatibility to ensure the complete sensor-plus-main-unit assembly meets site environmental requirements (IP66, IP67, or IP6K9K).
