Axis Q1952-E 10mm Thermal Bullet IP Camera
The Axis Q1952-E is a professional-grade thermal bullet camera engineered for perimeter security and critical infrastructure monitoring. Delivering continuous thermal imaging at 30fps with an uncooled microbolometer sensor, this camera provides reliable detection and verification in complete darkness, fog, rain, and snow—conditions where traditional visible-light cameras fail. The 10mm focal length and 800x600 upscaled resolution enable long-range surveillance across expansive areas, making it ideal for facility perimeters, border security, and outdoor threat detection.
Key Features

Applications
The Q1952-E excels in perimeter security for utilities, airports, ports, and industrial facilities. Its thermal capabilities support early threat detection, intrusion prevention, and evidence capture in low-light or obscured conditions. Ideal for unmanned monitoring zones and critical infrastructure protection where human presence must be reliably identified regardless of environmental conditions.
Thermal cameras offer fundamental advantages over conventional surveillance: they detect heat signatures rather than reflected light, eliminating reliance on illumination. The Q1952-E's uncooled sensor technology reduces operational costs while maintaining sensitivity below 25 mK, sufficient for human-scale detection at distance. The 10mm lens provides a narrow field of view optimized for long-range applications.
H.264 compression with Zipstream functionality ensures efficient bandwidth utilization—critical when monitoring multiple thermal streams. PoE Class 3 power delivery and IP66 durability eliminate the need for separate power infrastructure and extensive weatherproofing, reducing deployment complexity and total cost of ownership. This camera is suited for organizations requiring persistent, weather-independent perimeter monitoring without the expense of cooled thermal platforms.
