AXIS Q1952-E Thermal Camera

High-resolution thermal imaging

AXIS Q1952-E delivers a high-resolution thermal video stream for reliable detection 24/7. Ideal for perimeter security,
it includes AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, and AXIS Loitering Guard for proactive surveillance. With a powerful
analytics platform, it’s easy to add third-party analytics. Built-in cybersecurity features prevent unauthorized access
and safeguard your system. For instance, Axis Edge Vault protects your Axis device ID and simplifies authorization of
Axis products on your network. AXIS Q1952-E also includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that is FIPS 140-2 level 2
certified. Furthermore, this halogen-free, compact camera is robust and suitable even for harsh conditions.

> Reliable detection 24/7
