Axis 02947-001 Outdoor Thermal Bullet Camera
The Axis 02947-001 is a fixed outdoor thermal network camera purpose-built for perimeter security, intrusion detection, and continuous 24/7 surveillance in complete darkness and challenging environmental conditions. Equipped with QVGA (384x288) thermal imaging and advanced edge processing, this ruggedized bullet camera delivers reliable threat detection without visible light dependency, making it ideal for critical infrastructure, remote sites, and applications requiring persistent monitoring regardless of lighting or weather conditions.
Key Features
- Thermal Imaging (QVGA 384x288): High-sensitivity thermal sensor with F1.0 lens optical design and <30 mK NETD @25°C for superior thermal clarity and detection range in outdoor environments
- H.265 Video Compression: Advanced compression codec reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining forensic image quality
- Perimeter Defender & VMD Analytics: Integrated video motion detection and Perimeter Defender analytics enable intelligent edge-based alerting with reduced false alarms
- ARTPEC 8 Processing: Advanced edge processor supports local analytics execution, minimizing bandwidth consumption and network latency
- Extreme Durability: IP66 weatherproof rating, IK10 impact resistance, UL listed, NEMA 4X stainless steel construction, and MIL-STD-810H/521.4 environmental certification for harsh outdoor deployment
- PoE Powered: Single cable power and data delivery simplifies installation in remote locations
- Flexible Storage: microSD card local storage enables onboard recording and failover capability
- Multi-Mount Compatibility: Wall and ceiling mounting options accommodate diverse site architectures
- ONVIF Compliance: Profile S/T support enables seamless integration with third-party VMS platforms
- Audio Input: Integrated audio support adds multi-modal alerting and forensic context
Technical Highlights
The 02947-001 combines thermal detection immunity to camouflage and obscuration with military-grade durability specifications. The F1.0 optical design maximizes thermal energy collection across wide temperature gradients, while the ARTPEC 8 processor enables local video motion detection execution, reducing bandwidth overhead and enabling faster threat response. H.265 compression paired with local microSD storage provides forensic-quality recording with minimal infrastructure demands. IP66 sealing and IK10 vandal resistance ensure field longevity in uncontrolled outdoor environments.
Applications
Ideal for perimeter security around airports, seaports, and critical infrastructure; remote pipeline and utility monitoring; border and boundary surveillance; industrial plant protection; and any 24/7 surveillance requirement where thermal detection and extreme environmental durability are non-negotiable.

The 02947-001 fills a critical market segment: ruggedized thermal surveillance for sites where visible-light cameras fail due to darkness, smoke, fog, or camouflage. The <30 mK NETD specification ensures detection of thermal signatures even in high ambient-temperature environments, and the F1.0 lens delivers exceptional sensitivity without requiring active cooling complexity. IK10 + IP66 + MIL-STD-810H certification stack indicates professional-grade field durability rather than consumer-grade weatherproofing.
ARTPEC 8 edge processing differentiates this unit from passive thermal sensors by enabling localized Perimeter Defender logic, reducing false alarms and backhaul bandwidth. PoE compatibility with microSD fallback storage makes deployment feasible in remote locations lacking dedicated power or fiber infrastructure. ONVIF Profile S/T support ensures vendor independence, critical for government and enterprise procurement.
The 384x288 resolution is standard for thermal imaging and reflects fundamental physics constraints (thermal arrays cost-prohibitive above QVGA), not component compromise.
