The robust AXIS Q1931-E is specifically designed for use in harsh environments and tough climates. The AXIS Q1931-E offers high contrast 384×288 resolution thermal images. It is the first thermal camera offering Axis’ Corridor Format, which is especially useful for effective perimeter protection of for example industrial facilities or railroad tracks.

The new AXIS Q1931-E thermal network camera is a solid bullet-style camera especially designed for outdoor surveillance in complete darkness and challenging conditions. The out-of-the-box outdoor-ready camera is ideal for monitoring of facilities where early detection of an intrusion attempt is critical. In addition, Axis’ unique Corridor Format allows the camera to deliver a vertical field of view, perfect for situations such as the monitoring of long fences and other perimeters.

“After the successful introduction of our first thermal network cameras, we are now launching the new AXIS Q1931-E. This new camera model defines a new standard for thermal cameras both in terms of reliable detection and affordability. Traditionally thermal cameras have only been an option for high-budget security installations,” says Axis’ director of product management Erik Frännlid.

“With AXIS Q1931-E affordable thermal technology will be available to complete any security installation.”

The four available lens alternatives, the 384×288 resolution and the advanced image processor further improve effective area and perimeter surveillance. The four lens alternatives sustain maximum flexibility in detection range and field of view, ranging from 220m / 240yd. (50°) and up to1800m/1970yd. (6°) depending on lens option. In addition, the cameras support key IP-Surveillance features such as H.264 and motion JPEG, two-way audio, local storage and power over ethernet.

Intelligent video is a key component of any thermal camera, and AXIS Q1931-E provides tampering alarm, motion detection, and support for AXIS Camera Application Platform.

AXIS Q1931-E is planned to be available in Q3 2013.
