High-Performance 30 fps Thermal Imaging for Outdoor Security

The AXIS Q1972-E 19 mm 30 fps variant delivers exceptionally smooth thermal video, enabling clearer motion tracking and real-time situational awareness. With a 31° horizontal field of view, it supports medium-range thermal detection for perimeter protection, industrial facilities, critical infrastructure, and high-security outdoor areas. Its 640×480 uncooled thermal sensor paired with <20 mK sensitivity ensures excellent thermal contrast in total darkness, fog, smoke, and other challenging environments.

Powered by the latest ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip with a deep-learning processing unit (DLPU), the camera supports advanced analytics such as AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, and AXIS Loitering Guard. Cybersecurity features including Axis Edge Vault and TPM 2.0 secure boot ensure system integrity. With IP66/IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings, it is fully engineered for long-term exposure to harsh outdoor conditions.
