Axis D2110-VE 24GHz Security Radar - 01564-001

Axis 01564-001 D2110-VE 24GHz Security Radar

The Axis 01564-001 is a phased array FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous-wave) radar operating at 24.05–24.25 GHz in the license-free ISM band. Unlike optical cameras, this radar delivers detection and classification 24/7 regardless of fog, rain, darkness, or obscured line-of-sight — a fundamental advantage for outdoor perimeter defense where weather or lighting routinely blind traditional surveillance. It detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and unknown objects with simultaneous range, direction, velocity, and object-type reporting at 10 Hz refresh rate.

Key Features

• 180° horizontal field of detection: Dual monitoring profiles let you configure area surveillance (stationary perimeter) or road monitoring (moving traffic). This single unit replaces 4–6 wide-angle cameras for equivalent coverage, reducing hardware sprawl and installation labor.
• Detection range and accuracy: Area mode delivers 3–60 m for persons and 3–85 m for vehicles; road mode covers 30–60 m at up to 105 km/h. Speed accuracy of ±2 km/h and 0.7 m distance resolution enable traffic enforcement and precise object tracking without human classification errors.
• Advanced radar controls: Configure multiple detection zones, line crossing detection, exclude zones, and adaptive filters to suppress false alerts from trees, moving water, or structural vibration. These are tuning knobs you won't find on fixed cameras.
• IP66 environmental rating with NEMA 4X aluminum/plastic housing: Direct rain and dust will not disable the radar. IK08 impact resistance handles rough site conditions. Operating range of -40°C to 60°C and 10–100% RH tolerance support arctic and tropical deployments without enclosure upgrades.
• PoE power delivery: Draws power via standard Ethernet — no separate 24VDC supply or conduit runs. Simplifies site planning, especially in retrofit installations where power infrastructure is constrained.
• Integrated video streaming: Streams up to 1080p HDTD video at 10 fps in H.264, H.265, or Motion JPEG across multiple configurable streams. H.265 compression reduces storage demand by 40–60% versus H.264 when pairing the radar with edge storage or NVR recorders, cutting long-term archive costs.
• ONVIF Profile G, S, T, and M compliance: Integrates natively with any standards-based VMS (Milestone, Genetec, Axis Camera Station, etc.) without vendor-specific plugins. MQTT publish/subscribe support enables real-time event relay to automation controllers, alarms, or third-party applications.
• Edge storage via microSD/SDXC: Encrypt recorded radar and video data with AES-XTS-Plain64 256-bit on removable media. Supports FTP/SFTP upload and pre/post-alarm buffering for comprehensive forensic logging without relying on network bandwidth.
• Enterprise security features: Signed firmware, brute-force delay protection, IEEE 802.1X/802.1AE network authentication, and OAuth 2.0 for centralized account management align with corporate access-control policies. No plaintext credentials transmitted over the network.
• AXIS Radar Autotracking for PTZ: Pairs seamlessly with Axis PTZ cameras to autotrack detected objects — human or vehicle. Radar detects the target; the camera slews and zooms into frame automatically, reducing operator workload and improving incident response.
• AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) support: Third-party developers can deploy custom analytics and integrations directly on the device, enabling use cases like traffic congestion alerts, perimeter breach notifications, or facility-specific automation without cloud dependencies.

Integration & Compatibility

The 01564-001 is built on Axis ARTPEC-7 processor architecture with 1024 MB RAM, delivering real-time motion detection and autotracking in firmware. IPv4/v6 networking, HTTPS/TLS encryption, and ONVIF compliance ensure compatibility with enterprise network and security infrastructure. Up to six coexisting radars within a 350 m radius operate interference-free, enabling multi-radar deployments across large industrial or critical infrastructure sites without crosstalk or signal degradation.

When to Choose a Different Model

If you need sub-meter precision target tracking or require visual identification of individuals at range, pair the 01564-001 with an optical Axis IP camera configured for autotracking. If your deployment is indoors or requires close-range detection (under 3 m), radar is less effective; standard outdoor IP cameras or motion sensors are more cost-effective. If your site already has a mature network video recorder infrastructure with available PoE capacity, the 01564-001 integrates directly without NVR upgrades.

Deployment Context

The D2110-VE excels at critical infrastructure perimeter defense (power stations, water treatment, oil & gas), large industrial yards, border crossings, and traffic enforcement corridors where traditional optical surveillance fails due to weather, dust, or backlighting. Consult PoE power planning guides to confirm your switch can supply the device's 12.95W typical draw; most modern enterprise PoE injectors or PoE+ (802.3at) switches handle this easily. For site-wide radar deployment planning, refer to coverage mapping guides to calculate required number of units and placement angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the 01564-001 detect stationary humans or vehicles?

A: Yes. The radar detects motion and classifies objects by type. Stationary targets appear as static objects until motion resumes; once moving, they are re-classified. Configure exclude zones or sensitivity thresholds in area monitoring mode to suppress false alerts from stationary structures.

Q: Can the 01564-001 work alongside other 24 GHz radars on the same site?

A: Yes. Up to six Axis radars can coexist within 350 m radius without interference. The phased array design uses frequency-hopping and synchronization to maintain clean signals. Ensure antenna alignment and mounting angles do not point directly at each other over short distances.

Q: What VMS platforms support the 01564-001 natively?

A: Any ONVIF Profile S, T, G, or M compliant VMS (Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Axis Camera Station, etc.) will discover and stream from the radar. Custom integrations via MQTT or ACAP are also supported for non-ONVIF platforms.

Q: Is the 01564-001 suitable for traffic speed enforcement?

A: Yes. Speed accuracy of ±2 km/h and 0.7 m distance resolution meet traffic law enforcement requirements in most jurisdictions. Pair with video capture for visual evidence of violators. Verify local regulations before deployment.

Q: How much storage do I need for 24/7 recording from the 01564-001?

A: Radar data is lightweight (~100 KB/s); video at 1080p 10 fps in H.265 consumes ~1.5–2 Mbps depending on scene complexity. For 30 days of 24/7 archive, budget 4–5 TB with H.265 compression. Edge microSD support up to 512 GB handles ~7 days of redundant local backup.

Q: Does the 01564-001 require licensing or spectrum registration?

A: No. The device operates in the 24.05–24.25 GHz unlicensed ISM band in most countries. Verify local radio regulations for your region before deployment.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The Axis 01564-001 fundamentally changes outdoor perimeter defense. Unlike optical cameras that fail in fog, rain, or darkness, this phased array FMCW radar maintains 24/7 detection regardless of weather or lighting. A single unit covers 11,300 m² for vehicles and 5,600 m² for persons in area mode — equivalent to replacing 4–6 wide-angle camera installations. That's a material reduction in hardware, installation labor, and network bandwidth.

Technical Highlights:

• 24 GHz phased array with 10 Hz refresh rate: Real-time object detection and classification deliver range, bearing, velocity, and type simultaneously. No pixel counting, no contrast dependency — the radar works the same in noon sunlight or midnight fog.
• Dual monitoring profiles (area vs. road mode): Flex between stationary perimeter surveillance (3–60 m persons, 3–85 m vehicles) and moving traffic enforcement (30–60 m @ 105 km/h). Speed accuracy of ±2 km/h and 0.7 m distance resolution satisfy legal enforcement thresholds and enable precise autotracking of PTZ cameras.
• H.265 video compression: 1080p video at 10 fps in H.265 cuts storage footprint 40–60% versus H.264. For 24/7 multi-site deployments, that translates to tens of terabytes of avoided archive cost over a 5-year lifecycle.
• ONVIF + MQTT + ACAP architecture: Native integration with Milestone, Genetec, Axis Camera Station, and any standards-based VMS. MQTT publish-subscribe enables real-time event relay to gate controls, alarms, or facility automation without polling or custom middleware.
• Up to six coexisting radars (350 m radius): Deploy multiple units across large industrial sites or critical infrastructure perimeters without crosstalk or interference. Synchronized operation maintains signal integrity even in dense multi-radar environments.

Deployment Considerations:

• Radar-camera pairing for autotracking: Pair the 01564-001 with an Axis PTZ camera via AXIS Radar Autotracking. Radar detects the target; the camera slews and zooms automatically. This workflow cuts operator workload significantly on high-volume sites (stadiums, borders, yards).
• Stationary object suppression: Radar excels at motion detection but can generate alerts on stationary structures during rain or wind gusts. Tune exclude zones and adaptive filters in commissioning to suppress site-specific clutter without compromising sensitivity. This is not a plug-and-play install — expect field tuning.
• Spectrum verification: The 24 GHz ISM band is license-free in most regions but not all. Confirm local radio regulations before deployment, especially in non-Western jurisdictions or military-adjacent sites.

Deploy the 01564-001 where optical surveillance routinely fails: critical infrastructure perimeters, industrial yards exposed to weather, border crossings, or high-volume traffic enforcement corridors. Pair it with a PTZ camera for pinpoint identification, or use it standalone for motion-based alerting and forensic logging. The 5-year warranty and -40°C to 60°C operating range confirm this is a field-hardened system, not a novelty.
