Thermal cameras
Heat-based detection for property defense and temperature-reading
Thermal cameras capture images by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by objects, converting it into electrical signals, and processing these signals to create a visual representation of temperature differences in the scene, also known as thermal imaging.
Detect and defend in total darkness
Because thermal cameras capture images based on heat radiation, they are not sensitive to challenging light conditions. Therefore, these cameras are ideal to guarantee detection in total darkness, shadows, smoke, or glaring light. They ensure personal integrity as the images created do not allow individuals to be identified.
In addition, thermal palettes help identify different heat sources emitting the same amount of thermal energy, making it easier and more efficient to interpret a scene.
When paired with AXIS Perimeter Defender, you can automatically respond to people and vehicles intruding on your property. It’s especially suitable for high-security locations such as chemical and power plants, and prisons.
Monitor critical assets with temperature-reading technology
Temperature indicates the well-being of equipment and important assets. If overheating, or even under, then its possible the equipment is near the point of failure. Axis thermometric cameras, such as the AXIS Q1961-TE, allows you to remotely monitor the temperature of these assets to enable predictive maintenance. Therefore, downtime is strategically avoided.
Also, Axis temperature-monitoring cameras include fire detection by analyzing signs of smoke.
You will receive an alert if the temperature passes a set threshold, temperature fluctuates too rapidly, or early signs of a fire are present.
Powerful analytics platform
Built on a powerful analytics platform, our thermal cameras make it easy to add tailor-made third-party analytics as well as audio analytics to trigger events for instance when detecting aggressive behavior or gunshots. Heat-based images can be used together with analytics for enhanced detection helping reduce false alarms and ensuring you don’t waste time and effort on unnecessary responses.
Robust and secure
With IP66, NEMA 4X and IK10 ratings, Axis thermal cameras are highly resistant to rust and corrosion making them ideal for installation in harsh environments. They offer great reliability and include built-in cybersecurity features to help prevent unauthorized access and safeguard your system. For instance, signed firmware and secure boot guarantee that the firmware hasn’t been compromised and ensure only authorized firmware is installed. And if needed, secure boot guarantees that the camera is completely free of malware after a factory default.
note
Thermal cameras are subject to stricter export control regulations than visual cameras. Axis offers thermal cameras in both 30 fps and 8.3 fps versions to comply with export control legislation in most parts of the world. There is no other difference between a 30 fps and an 8.3 fps camera than the frame rate.
note
Under specific conditions, some Axis thermal cameras are capable of precise temperature measurements, but they’re not designed by Axis for the specific intention of human fever detection or the diagnosis, mitigation, or prevention of disease or health conditions.
