Ready to move from theory to implementation? Axis Radars are purpose-built for demanding outdoor sites: energy plants, data center perimeters, warehouses, transport hubs, and campuses.

AXIS D2122-VE Radar 180° coverage. Up to 20,000 m² protected.

Recognizes humans at distances up to 140 m across a wide 180° field of detection. Pairs with selected Axis PTZ cameras for radar-video fusion — combining AI-powered radar analytics with video verification to virtually eliminate false alarms and enable automatic PTZ autotracking.

  • 180° horizontal field of detection
  • Tracks up to 100 objects simultaneously
  • Radar-PTZ fusion for double-knock verification
  • PoE-powered, easy to install on poles, fences, or walls

AXIS D2123-VE Radar 270° coverage. Up to 30,000 m² protected.

Built for corner and pole mounting, this radar extends detection to a sweeping 270° field of view — ideal for open perimeters, campuses, and industrial sites where blind spots aren't an option. Like its sibling, it supports radar-video fusion with selected PTZ cameras for enhanced accuracy.

  • 270° horizontal field of detection
  • Human recognition up to 140 m / 30,000 m² coverage
  • AI-powered classification, no extra analytics needed
  • Low power consumption per m² covered
