Axis 02947-001 Outdoor Thermal Bullet Camera

Axis Communications 02947-001 Overview

The Axis Communications 02947-001 is a fixed outdoor thermal network camera designed for perimeter security, intrusion detection, and 24/7 surveillance in low-light and challenging environmental conditions. This ARTPEC 8–powered bullet camera delivers QVGA (384x288) thermal imaging with <30 mK NETD sensitivity at 25°C, enabling reliable threat detection across diverse deployment scenarios. Built for wall and ceiling installation, it combines industrial-grade environmental sealing (IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X, IK10) with AI-driven analytics and flexible integration, making it an ideal choice for security integrators deploying outdoor perimeter systems.

Axis Communications 02947-001 Key Features

• QVGA Thermal Imaging (384x288): High-sensitivity thermal sensor with <30 mK NETD at 25°C captures temperature differentials for reliable detection of personnel and intrusion activity in complete darkness and through obscuration such as fog and light precipitation.
• F1.0 Lens Optical Design: Low-loss optical path maximizes thermal energy collection, ensuring superior image clarity and detection range in outdoor and high-ambient-temperature environments.
• Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS): Compensates for vibration and minor camera movement caused by wind or structural flex, maintaining image stability and reducing false alarms from motion artifacts.
• H.265 and H.264 Compression with Zipstream: Dual codec support enables flexible bandwidth management; Zipstream technology reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by 50–80% versus standard compression while maintaining forensic image quality.
• ARTPEC 8 Processor: Advanced edge-processing engine supports local analytics execution, reducing bandwidth and enabling intelligent filtering before transmission to network storage or VMS platforms.
• Multi-Sensor Analytics: Integrated video motion detection (VMD), audio detection, and shock detection provide granular alerting. AXIS Camera Application Platform compatibility enables deployment of Perimeter Defender with AI-based threat classification for false-alarm reduction in complex outdoor scenes.
• Extreme Environmental Durability: IP66 (sealed against water jets), IP67 (temporary submersion), NEMA 4X (corrosion resistance), and IK10 (vandal/impact resistance) ratings ensure reliable operation in coastal, industrial, and harsh-weather locations. Compliant with MIL-STD-810H Section 521.4 for mechanical shock and vibration.
• Supervised I/O Ports: Two supervised input/output ports support integration with external sensors, relays, and alarm systems; port supervision detects tampering or disconnection.
• Local Storage and Audio Input: Built-in storage slot accommodates microSD cards for edge recording and archival; analog audio input enables integration with external microphones or alarm speakers.
• ONVIF Compliance: Full ONVIF support ensures vendor-neutral integration with third-party VMS platforms, NVRs, and management consoles without proprietary software dependencies.
• Material & Environmental Compliance: Free from PVC, BFR (brominated flame retardants), and CFR (chlorofluorocarbons); EU-manufactured thermal sensor subject to export control compliance.
• UL Listed & Standards Certified: UL listing and multiple MIL-standard certifications (including MIL-STD-810H / 521.4) confirm compliance with North American electrical and military-grade mechanical standards.

Axis Communications 02947-001 Integration & Compatibility

The camera supports ONVIF Profile S and T, enabling seamless integration with leading VMS platforms including Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, and Axis Camera Station. AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) compatibility allows installation of Axis Perimeter Defender and third-party analytics applications directly on the camera, enabling real-time threat classification and intelligent alert routing without centralized processing overhead. Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T connectivity supports both PoE and standard network deployment. Two supervised I/O ports integrate with external relays, alarm panels, and sensor networks; audio input enables two-way communication or event audio logging. Wall and ceiling mount options accommodate diverse installation geometries in perimeter fencing, building facades, gate entries, and industrial compound surveillance.
