Axis 02627-004 Wireless Kit with PoE Injector
Overview
The Axis 02627-004 is a bundled wireless connectivity and power delivery solution designed to simplify the installation of Axis IP cameras, specifically the M1075-L compact fixed camera. This kit pairs a wireless module with a PoE injector to eliminate the need for separate power infrastructure at remote camera locations—a significant labor and material cost reduction on medium-to-large deployments where cable runs to every camera would otherwise require either lengthy Ethernet or additional power drops.
Key Features
- Wireless Module: Enables camera connectivity over 802.11 wireless networks rather than hardwired Ethernet. Useful for temporary or retrofit installations where running cable through walls, ceilings, or conduit is impractical or expensive. Trade-off: wireless introduces latency variability and requires adequate RF coverage—survey your site first.
- Integrated PoE Injector: Converts standard AC power into PoE (Power over Ethernet), delivering both power and data through a single Ethernet cable to the camera. Eliminates the need for a separate 12V power supply or hardwired power outlet at the camera location. Typical power draw for M1075-L models falls well within 802.3af budget (under 15W), so no high-capacity PoE+ switch required.
- M1075-L Camera Compatibility: This kit is purpose-built for the Axis M1075-L, a compact fixed-lens camera commonly deployed in retail, office, and light industrial environments. Verify your camera model before ordering—the kit will not work with other Axis lines.
- Standard Ethernet Cable Included: The kit ships with one Ethernet cable for connection between the injector and the wireless module or camera. Additional cable length should be budgeted if the injector will be mounted remotely from the camera.
- Simplified Deployment Workflow: Reduces on-site wiring time. Instead of routing power and network separately, install one wireless connection and one PoE cable. Meaningful time savings on multi-camera jobs.
- Network Flexibility: Wireless connectivity allows camera placement in locations without existing network infrastructure—corners of parking lots, temporary event spaces, or areas where cable installation is prohibitively expensive.
Integration & Compatibility
This kit is compatible with Axis M1075-L cameras and supports standard 802.11 wireless networks (verify your access point supports the same band and standard). The injector works with any standard Ethernet switch or can connect directly to a network backbone. When integrated into a larger NVR-based surveillance system, ensure your video management software (Axis Camera Station, Milestone, or others) recognizes the M1075-L over wireless—most major platforms do, but latency-sensitive analytics (live two-way audio, real-time alerts) may experience slight delays depending on wireless signal quality.
For PoE power planning, the M1075-L's power budget is modest. The injector can support the camera without straining a standard office network switch. If you are powering multiple cameras from a single switch, aggregate the wattage—typically not an issue with three to five M1075-L units on a single 60W or higher-capacity switch.

When to Choose a Different Solution
If your M1075-L cameras can be hard-wired with standard Ethernet—and you have no latency concerns—skip the wireless kit and run cable directly to a PoE-capable switch. Hardwired connections are more stable and eliminate RF dead zones. If you need to cover distances greater than the wireless module's effective range, or if your site has significant RF interference (industrial facilities with heavy machinery), evaluate a wired approach or a higher-power wireless access point. The model number 02627-004 (often searched as 02627 004) works only with M1075-L cameras; do not assume compatibility with other Axis compact models without explicit verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wireless standards does the 02627-004 support?
A: The evidence provided confirms the kit includes a wireless module compatible with standard Ethernet and wireless networks, but specific 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac) are not documented in the available source data. Consult the installation guide or contact Axis technical support for band and standard details.
Q: Can I use the PoE injector without the wireless module?
A: The kit is sold as a bundle; the PoE injector can technically operate independently if you provide your own Ethernet connection, but the design intent is to pair both components. Using only the injector defeats the wireless convenience the kit provides.
Q: What is the effective wireless range?
A: Range depends on your access point, antenna orientation, and environmental interference. Indoor open space typically 50–150 feet; through walls or in RF-dense environments, expect less. Conduct a site survey before final deployment.
Q: Is the 02627-004 suitable for outdoor M1075-L cameras?
A: The M1075-L is designed for indoor use. The wireless kit itself is rated for indoor environments. Do not deploy this assembly in outdoor or wet locations.
Q: Does the kit work with Milestone XProtect or other third-party VMS?
A: The M1075-L is ONVIF Profile S compliant (standard for Axis compact cameras), so it should integrate with any VMS that supports ONVIF. Axis Camera Station is the native option. Test VMS integration in your lab before large-scale deployment.
Q: What power budget does the PoE injector supply?
A: The M1075-L operates at low power (typically under 15W), well within IEEE 802.3af limits (15.4W). The injector supports standard PoE; no PoE+ upgrade is needed.

The Axis 02627-004 solves a real problem on retrofit and temporary camera deployments: eliminating the need for dual power and network infrastructure. The integrated PoE injector is the key—it collapses power and data into a single cable run, which cuts labor time and material cost noticeably when deploying five or more M1075-L cameras across a building where cable routes are already constrained.
Technical Highlights:
- PoE Injection at 15W Budget: The M1075-L draws minimal power (well under the 15.4W 802.3af ceiling), meaning the injector will not overload a standard office switch. No exotic power infrastructure required.
- Wireless Flexibility Without Range Penalty: The wireless module operates over standard 802.11 networks, enabling camera placement in locations where running Ethernet would be prohibitively expensive or impossible. Site survey is non-negotiable—confirm RF coverage before committing to wireless-only deployment.
- M1075-L Pairing: Purpose-built for the M1075-L compact form factor. ONVIF Profile S compliance ensures compatibility with mainstream VMS platforms, though Axis Camera Station remains the native choice.
Deployment Considerations:
- Wireless introduces latency variability and potential signal dropouts in RF-congested environments. Hardwired deployments are more stable; use wireless only where cabling is genuinely impractical.
- The kit's indoor rating means it does not suit parking lots, exterior walls, or loading docks—confirm environment before purchase.
- The PoE injector must be positioned near (or connected via the included Ethernet cable to) a power outlet; the wireless module then communicates with the camera over 802.11. If your access point is far from the camera, expect variable performance.
Best fit: medium-sized office or retail environments where you have good wireless coverage but limited power outlets at camera locations, or temporary deployments (events, pop-up security) where running permanent cabling is wasteful. For fixed, long-term installations with reliable cable runs available, hardwired PoE delivery is the safer choice.
