Axis Q1941-E Long-Range Thermal Bullet IP Camera
The Axis Q1941-E is a professional-grade thermal imaging camera engineered for long-range perimeter surveillance and critical infrastructure monitoring. Built on uncooled micro bolometer technology with exceptional thermal sensitivity (NETD <70 mK), this camera delivers precise temperature differentiation and clear thermal imagery in complete darkness, fog, smoke, and dust—conditions where conventional cameras fail. With a 384x288 thermal sensor and scalable resolution up to 768x576, the Q1941-E provides the detection range and image clarity required for airports, borders, industrial facilities, and large outdoor perimeters.
Key Features
- Uncooled micro bolometer thermal sensor with <70 mK sensitivity
- Long-range detection with selectable focal lengths (7mm to 60mm)
- Flexible field of view: horizontal 6.2° to 55°, vertical 4.6° to 43°
- Maximum resolution 768x576 at up to 30 fps
- H.264 video compression with Axis Zipstream technology for bandwidth optimization
- PoE power delivery (Class 3) for simplified installation
- IP66-rated weatherproof housing for extreme outdoor conditions
- Operating range: -40°C to +60°C
- Electronic image stabilization for vibration compensation
- Advanced thermal analytics including motion detection and temperature alarming
- Serial connectors for extended integrations
Technical Specifications
The Q1941-E combines thermal sensor resolution of 384x288 with digital upscaling to 768x576 for enhanced detail. Its wide operational temperature range ensures reliable performance in arctic and desert environments. Frame rates scale from 8.3 to 30 fps depending on resolution and focal length configuration, allowing optimization for bandwidth-constrained networks. The camera supports local storage and signed firmware, meeting stringent security audit requirements in regulated environments.
Typical Applications
- Perimeter security and border surveillance
- Airport and seaport monitoring
- Industrial asset protection and fire detection
- Utility and infrastructure protection
- Vehicle detection and traffic monitoring
- Search and rescue operations
The Q1941-E represents the pinnacle of thermal surveillance for scenarios requiring extended detection ranges without visible light dependency. Its <70 mK thermal sensitivity enables discrimination of minute temperature differences critical for threat assessment. The modular lens design (7mm to 60mm options) allows field selection between wide perimeter coverage and pinpoint long-range identification—a flexibility absent in fixed-lens competitors.
Zipstream integration significantly reduces storage and bandwidth demands for 24/7 thermal recording. PoE delivery simplifies enterprise deployment, eliminating separate power infrastructure. The IP66 rating and -40 to +60°C operational envelope make this camera suitable for unattended remote locations.
Integration with thermal analytics (temperature alarming, motion detection) automates alert generation, reducing operator fatigue during monotonous monitoring. Ideal for organizations requiring persistent, weather-independent surveillance of critical assets.
