Designed for road and rail vehicles

Enhance passenger and staff safety and improve operational efficiency with our purpose-built cameras for road and rail vehicles. Designed to withstand high vibrations, they come with specialized image profiles for traffic scenarios, ensuring high image quality even in demanding environments.

Axis Onboard Cameras is designed for surveillance on rolling stock, buses, and other vehicles. Axis Onboard Cameras is designed for surveillance on rolling stock, buses, and other vehicles.

Clear visuals in any onboard setting

Onboard environments demand robust products with vibration resistance, high-resolution imaging for clear visuals, Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), and specific image profiles for the varying lighting conditions. In addition, low ceiling heights pose challenges by limiting the camera’s field of view and introducing obstructions, so it’s essential to use cameras that deliver high-quality images even when installed in tight spaces. Images and video footage captured can be used for live monitoring, helping you stay informed about the current situation, or post-event analysis, such as accident investigation or evidence gathering. And cameras can help deter crime, helping protect people and property from criminal activity and vandalism.

Axis offers a comprehensive portfolio of products specifically designed for challenging onboard conditions. Certified for rolling stock and adapted for road vehicles, these products guarantee safety and efficiency in any onboard environment. With a camera tailored to your unique needs, you can be assured of the appropriate level of certification.

Cameras for all conditions

Axis offers a wide range of robust cameras designed to perform optimally in various onboard environments and conditions. Choose from panoramic fisheye cameras for a wide horizontal field of view, versatile dome cameras, or flexible modular cameras—all robust and ruggedized for reliable performance.

Real-time insights for business growth

Real-time monitoring and post-event analysis provide valuable insights for smarter decision-making. High-quality images and AI-powered analytics offer a deeper understanding of business trends, patterns, behaviors, and anomalies. Valuable insights help foster growth, improve performance, and ensure focus on key objectives.

Enhance customer service

Axis onboard cameras offer more than just security; they can streamline operations to drive operational efficiency. They also deliver valuable business intelligence by tracking passenger flow and monitoring driver performance, so you can easily identify ways to enhance customer service.

Ensuring seamless integration

The reliable VAPIX protocol maintains consistent communication standards, ensuring backward compatibility with new products. This simplifies integration of Axis devices into your video management software (VMS), reducing development time and effort. It ensures seamless interoperability, allowing new and existing products to work together efficiently, enhancing system reliability and performance.

Road or Rail?

Surveillance needs differ between rail vehicles (such as trains and trams) and road vehicles, requiring tailored solutions for each environment. Both require vibration resistance, power stability, and strong connectivity, but regulatory and compliance standards often differ. Regional standards for fire safety and electromagnetic compatibility also vary, with rail vehicles typically subject to stricter requirements.

To help you choose the right solution, we've grouped our onboard category into two collections—one for road and one for rail.
