Axis Communications 02196-001 FA51 Main Unit Ip Camera

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02196-001 is the FA51 main unit, a core component in the AXIS FA modular camera system. The main unit serves as the processing and connectivity hub, pairing with compatible sensor units to deliver networked video surveillance. It is designed for IP-based security installations where flexible camera placement and centralized processing are required. Licensed security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

The FA51 main unit is suited for commercial and residential IP surveillance deployments. It is used in installations where modular camera architecture allows sensor units to be positioned independently from the main processing unit, enabling discreet or space-constrained mounting scenarios. The unit ships as a single piece (sold per each).

Key Features

• Modular design separates the main processing unit from sensor units for flexible installation
• Designed for IP network-based video surveillance systems
• Sold as an individual unit for targeted replacement or new installations
• Part of the AXIS FA series modular camera platform

Compatibility

Designed as a component of the AXIS FA modular camera series, intended for use with compatible FA-series sensor units in IP surveillance systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed security integrator familiar with IP network camera systems. Power down the network switch port or PoE injector supplying the unit before making or changing connections. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the manufacturer documentation for network configuration and mounting requirements.
