The Q1941-E represents Axis' commitment to thermal surveillance reliability. The uncooled microbolometer design eliminates the complexity and maintenance burden of cooled sensors while delivering exceptional thermal sensitivity below 70 mK—critical for detecting subtle temperature variations in detection scenarios. With PoE Class 3 power delivery, installation costs are minimized compared to systems requiring separate power infrastructure.

The 55° wide field of view paired with 30 fps capture creates an optimal balance between coverage and frame rate for most outdoor security applications. H.264 compression with Zipstream significantly reduces storage requirements, a major consideration for thermal systems that generate continuous 24/7 footage. The IP66 rating and -40 to +60°C operating range ensure year-round operation in demanding climates.

Integration features including local storage, tamper detection, and analytics-ready architecture make this camera suitable for comprehensive surveillance deployments that demand minimal on-site technician involvement.
