Description

Axis 02954-001 Q1971-E 35mm Thermal Camera

The Axis 02954-001 Q1971-E delivers reliable thermal imaging for perimeter monitoring and detection applications where traditional visible-light cameras fall short.

This thermal camera leverages a 35mm lens with 7mm focal length to capture heat signatures across diverse environmental conditions—day, night, fog, smoke, and darkness. Built on H.265 and H.264 compression standards with Zipstream technology, the Q1971-E optimizes bandwidth and storage without sacrificing image fidelity. Deep Learning capabilities and Perimeter Defender analytics enable intelligent threat detection, reducing false alarms and operator workload on large-scale deployments.

Engineered for outdoor resilience, the camera features IP66/IP67 ratings and an aluminum and polycarbonate enclosure that withstands harsh weather, salt spray, and temperature extremes. Wall, pole, corner, and rack mounting options provide flexible installation across industrial facilities, perimeter fences, ports, and critical infrastructure sites. PoE+ (802.3at) power delivery eliminates the need for separate electrical runs, simplifying deployment in remote locations.

Integration is straightforward with full ONVIF support, enabling seamless connectivity to third-party VMS platforms and security ecosystems. On-board microphone support adds audio context to thermal events. The device validates new installations and operates independently or as part of broader networked surveillance architectures.

The Q1971-E is backed by a 5-year warranty and includes installation guides, drill templates, and mounting hardware for rapid deployment.

  • IP66/IP67 weatherproof enclosure for outdoor duty
  • PoE+ powered—no auxiliary power lines required
  • H.265, H.264, and Zipstream compression for bandwidth efficiency
  • Deep Learning and Perimeter Defender analytics for intelligent detection
  • ONVIF-compliant for cross-platform VMS integration
  • Multiple mounting options: wall, pole, corner, rack

Thermal cameras are essential for perimeter security and critical infrastructure protection where visibility is unpredictable. The Q1971-E's combination of IP67 durability, PoE+ simplicity, and embedded analytics makes it a strong choice for unattended remote sites. The 35mm thermal sensor paired with 7mm optics provides solid detection range for fence lines and access points. Confirm your VMS supports Axis Zipstream if bandwidth is constrained; it delivers real savings on storage.
