Axis Communications 02946-001 Thermal Camera 7mm 8.3 Fps

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02946-001 is a fixed outdoor thermal network camera built for continuous IP-based surveillance in challenging lighting and environmental conditions. Operating at 8.3 frames per second with a 7mm lens, this unit captures thermal imagery where standard optical cameras fall short — including complete darkness, smoke, fog, and glare. It is designed for installation by licensed security integrators and network camera technicians working in demanding fixed-mount applications. The Q1971-E form factor is weatherized for outdoor deployment, making it suited to perimeter monitoring, critical infrastructure, and industrial site coverage.

The 02946-001 is intended for outdoor thermal IP camera installations in both commercial and industrial environments. Typical applications include perimeter intrusion detection, border surveillance, utility site monitoring, and critical facility protection where thermal contrast detection is required around the clock. The unit operates as a network-connected device, integrating with IP video management systems (VMS) for recording and analytics. It is sold as a single unit (EA).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified security integrator or licensed low-voltage technician familiar with IP camera deployment and network configuration. Power down the network switch port or PoE injector before connecting or disconnecting the camera. Follow local electrical codes and the manufacturer's mounting guidelines for outdoor enclosure orientation and conduit entry. Do not obstruct the lens housing or expose internal connectors to moisture during installation.
