Axis Communications F9114-R Mk II Main Unit Overview
The Axis F9114-R Mk II Main Unit (model 02999-021) is a 4-channel modular processing unit designed for high-vibration environments and distributed sensor architectures. This bulk 8-pack delivers professional-grade AI-driven video intelligence and analytics at the edge, supporting up to four independent sensor units (F21, F72, or F41 series) simultaneously. Built with FAKRA connectors and a rugged form factor, the F9114-R Mk II is engineered for mobile, rail, and heavy industrial deployments where shock resistance and reliability are mission-critical.
Axis F9114-R Mk II Main Unit Key Features
- 4-Channel Video Processing with Up to 4K Resolution — Captures and processes up to 3840×2160 (8 MP) at 12/15 fps per channel, or lower resolutions up to 60/50 fps, delivering flexible frame rate and resolution options across all four simultaneous sensor streams.
- Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) — Integrated on-device AI engine enables advanced object detection, classification, tracking, and counting without reliance on external servers; supports Axis Object Analytics for human and vehicle intelligence at the edge.
- Dual-Codec Video Compression — H.265 (HEVC) Main Profile and H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC) Baseline, Main, and High profiles with configurable bitrate for bandwidth-efficient streaming and archival flexibility.
- Robust Audio I/O — Two independent audio inputs for external unbalanced microphones with optional 12V ring power, supporting 24-bit LPCM and multiple codecs (AAC-LC, G.711 PCM, G.726 ADPCM, Opus) at sample rates from 8 kHz to 48 kHz.
- Comprehensive I/O Connectivity — Four configurable digital I/O ports for integration with external alarm sensors and switches, one RS-485 serial port (AXIS Connector A 2-pin 2.5 straight, sold separately), ignition control with managed shutdown capability, and one 10-48V DC power input (AXIS TU6001 3-pin connector, sold separately).
- PoE Class 4 with USB Integration — Powered via standard 802.3af PoE delivering maximum 25.5W, with dedicated 10/100 Ethernet port for seamless network integration; one USB Type-A port supports firmware updates and accessory expansion.
- Hardware-Based Cybersecurity — Axis Edge Vault safeguards the device with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified key storage and cryptographic operations, protecting firmware integrity and network communications.
- Advanced System Architecture — ARTPEC-8 System-on-Chip with 4096 MB RAM and 8192 MB Flash storage; supports Sensor Metrics Dashboard for real-time monitoring of connected sensor health and performance across all channels.
- Enterprise Network Protocols — Full IPv4/IPv6 support with HTTP/HTTPS, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3, RTSP/RTP, SRTP/RTSPS, MQTT 3.1.1, Secure Syslog, mDNS (Bonjour), UPnP, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, and DNS/DDNS for seamless VMS and NMS integration.
- Rugged FAKRA Connector Design — Purpose-built for mobile and vehicular environments; shock and vibration-resistant construction ensures reliable operation in demanding transportation, logistics, and industrial monitoring applications.
- Flexible Sensor Unit Compatibility — Supports up to four concurrent sensor units from the Axis F-series ecosystem (F21, F72, or F41 variants), enabling mixed-resolution, mixed-format deployments without platform changes.
- Bulk 8-Pack Deployment Economics — Volume package reduces per-unit cost for large fleet or multi-site installations; streamlines procurement and onboarding for system integrators and OEMs.
Axis F9114-R Mk II Main Unit Integration & Compatibility
The F9114-R Mk II integrates with standards-based ONVIF-compliant VMS platforms via IPv4/IPv6 networking. Network protocols include HTTP/HTTPS, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3, RTSP, RTP, SRTP, MQTT 3.1.1, mDNS, UPnP, and SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), enabling connectivity with Milestone XProtect, Axis Camera Station, and third-party VMS solutions. The unit supports Link-Local addressing (ZeroConf) for zero-touch network discovery and can integrate with PTP/NTS time synchronization for fleet-wide timestamp accuracy. RS-485 and configurable digital I/O enable direct integration with external control systems, switches, and alarm devices. SSH and SFTP support secure remote management and firmware updates. The device is designed for mobile and stationary deployments where sensor data aggregation and distributed processing are required.
