Axis AXIS F2137-RE Fisheye Sensor

Axis Communications AXIS F2137-RE Fisheye Sensor 8-Pack Overview

The AXIS F2137-RE is a rugged, modular 5MP fisheye sensor unit designed for outdoor surveillance systems requiring ultra-wide panoramic coverage. Part of Axis's F-series modular camera platform, this fisheye sensor delivers 185° horizontal field of view through a compact 1.98mm fixed focal length lens, enabling 360-degree situational awareness when paired with compatible AXIS F91 main units. The 8-pack bulk configuration (MPN 02869-021) is ideal for large-scale deployments where standardized fisheye coverage across multiple locations reduces procurement complexity and ensures uniform image quality.

Axis Communications AXIS F2137-RE Key Features

• 5MP Resolution (2592×1944): Delivers sharp panoramic imagery with sufficient pixel density for license plate and facial detail capture across the 185° field of view.
• IP66 and IP6K9K Certification: Fully sealed against dust ingress and rated for high-pressure water jet environments, ensuring long-term outdoor reliability in harsh weather, washdown facilities, and coastal corrosive atmospheres.
• Ultra-Wide 185° Horizontal Field of View: Single-sensor fisheye geometry eliminates blind spots and reduces the number of sensor units required per installation, lowering total system cost.
• 1.98mm Fixed Focal Length Lens: Optimized for panoramic capture; no mechanical focus adjustment required, reducing maintenance and mechanical failure points in outdoor deployments.
• Compact Form Factor: 58mm length, ø29.8mm diameter, 54g weight enables discreet mounting in tight architectural spaces and minimizes wind loading on mounting structures.
• Modular Architecture: Sensor unit operates only when paired with AXIS F91 main unit (sold separately); main unit handles video compression, network connectivity, and processing, allowing flexible configuration of processing power and feature sets per installation.
• Compatible Accessories: All mounting and cable accessories designed for AXIS F2135-RE sensors are compatible with F2137-RE, enabling standardized spare parts inventory across mixed deployments.
• Variable Frame Rate and Exposure Control: Sensor supports multiple capture modes when paired with compatible F91 main units, including WDR (wide dynamic range) for high-contrast outdoor scenes; frame rates and shutter speed vary by main unit model (up to 30 fps at 5MP without WDR, 20 fps with WDR on compatible units).
• Quad HD Output Option: When paired with supported F91 main units, sensor can deliver 2560×1440 resolution at up to 60 fps (50 fps in 50Hz regions), enabling higher-frame-rate panoramic video for motion-rich environments.
• Rugged Outdoor Sensor Design: Sealed optical assembly with minimal external mechanical components reduces corrosion and environmental contamination; 8-pack bulk format reduces per-unit cost and simplifies logistics for integrators managing large multi-site projects.

Axis Communications AXIS F2137-RE Integration and Compatibility

The AXIS F2137-RE sensor unit is a passive optical component requiring a separate AXIS F91 main unit for operation. Compatible main units include AXIS F9111, AXIS F9111-R Mk II, AXIS F9114, AXIS F9114-R Mk II, and AXIS F9114-B Mk II. The modular design allows integrators to standardize on F2137-RE sensors across multiple projects while swapping main units to match site-specific processing, compression, and analytics requirements. All accessories previously specified for the discontinued AXIS F2135-RE sensor are compatible with F2137-RE, enabling direct replacement in legacy installations without redesign. System tools including AXIS Site Designer, AXIS Device Manager, and the AXIS Accessory Selector provide deployment planning and configuration support. No cables or mounting hardware are included; AXIS TU600X and TU6004-E cables, TU6005 plenum-rated cables, and TU6007-E cables must be purchased separately based on main unit configuration and installation environment.
