AXIS Q1971-E Thermal Camera
- Reliable thermal detection 24/7 
- Five lens alternatives 
- Support for AXIS Perimeter Defender 
- Built-in cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault 
- Compact, robust, and halogen-free 
Ideal for perimeter protection, this robust, halogen-free thermal camera offers reliable detection and verification 24/7 regardless of weather or light conditions. Built on a powerful platform, it supports third-party analytics.
Reliable detection and visual verification- always
Using thermal technology, AXIS Q1971-E offers reliable detection and verification 24/7 even in low contrast scenes. It isn’t impacted by weather or light conditions ensuring a lower false alarm rate. With five lens alternatives (7 mm, 13 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, and 35 mm), it offers optimal installation possibilities. Thermal palettes help you visually identify different heat sources making it easier and more efficient to interpret a scene. And electronic image stabilization (EIS) ensures stable, reliable video in all environments. Furthermore, because thermal imaging doesn’t deliver images that allow for identification, privacy is always guaranteed.
 
  Powerful analytics platform
AXIS Q1971-E comes with AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, and AXIS Loitering Guard preinstalled for proactive surveillance. Plus, you can buy AXIS Perimeter Defender with AI-based functionality for enhanced detection capabilities allowing you to detect and classify humans and other objects. Built on a powerful platform, it’s possible to add third-party analytics to trigger events. It comes with two I/O ports for connecting external devices. Furthermore, edge-to-edge technology lets you connect, for instance, a horn speaker to enable audio alarms that deter, warn, and notify. You can also connect a strobe siren to deter intruders with the power of light and sound.
 
  Secure, robust, and sustainable
This powerful thermal camera includes Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform that safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. Plus, it offers secure key storage with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified, secure cryptographic key storage and operations. With IK10-, IP66/67-, NEMA TS2, and NEMA 4x ratings, it’s impact- and weather-resistant. What’s more, this robust, sustainable device offers a low carbon footprint. It’s made from halogen-free materials and there’s no need for lighting in dark scenes, ensuring lower system power consumption.
