Key Features

Resolution

Thermal sensor: 384×288 (uncooled microbolometer) • Image can be scaled up to 768×576 for streaming/viewing • Variants: 30 fps or 8.3 fps (model dependent) • Spectral range 8–14 μm

IR Illumination

Not required (thermal imaging) — Detects heat/IR radiation from objects, enabling detection in total darkness without visible/IR scene lighting

Dynamic Range

Thermal sensitivity (NETD): 40 mK @ 25°C, F1.0 for detecting small temperature differences • Isothermal palette mode to highlight selected temperature ranges within a scene

Artificial Intelligence

ARTPEC-8 SoC with Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) to support advanced edge processing and analytics applications on the device

Analytics

Included: AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, early fire detection, active tampering alarm, audio detection • Supported: AXIS Perimeter Defender

Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity platform • Edge security includes Signed OS, secure boot, signed video, secure keystore, encrypted filesystem (AES-XTS-Plain64 256-bit) • Additional protections: brute force delay, digest authentication, OAuth 2.0/OpenID flows, password protection • Hardware security components include TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2), secure element (CC EAL 6+), and SoC security (TEE) • Network security: IEEE 802.1X, MACsec (802.1AE), 802.1AR, HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3, NTS, X.509 PKI, host-based firewall

AXIS Q1961-XTE: Explosion-Protected Thermometric Thermal Camera

The AXIS Q1961-XTE is an explosion-protected, Zone 2/Division 2 certified thermal camera built for hazardous industrial sites, with variants available at 30 fps or 8.3 fps (export-control compliant) while keeping the same core capabilities. It uses an uncooled microbolometer (384×288, 17 μm, 8–14 μm) and can scale video up to 768×576, delivering dependable detection in total darkness, smoke, glare, and difficult lighting where standard cameras struggle. With a 7 mm athermalized lens and 55° horizontal field of view, plus electronic image stabilization (EIS), it suits wide coverage zones and vibrating plant environments. As a thermometric camera, it measures absolute temperatures from -40°C to 350°C, supports spot temperature reading and up to 10 polygonal detection areas, and can trigger events when temperatures cross thresholds or change too quickly—ideal for early warning and condition monitoring. Powered by ARTPEC-8 with a DLPU, it supports edge analytics (including options such as Fence Guard, Loitering Guard, Motion Guard, and Video Motion Detection, with Perimeter Defender supported) and is secured with Axis Edge Vault features like secure boot, signed OS, secure keystore, signed video, and an encrypted filesystem, alongside enterprise network security controls (e.g., 802.1X, TLS, MACsec, host-based firewall). Designed for harsh outdoor installations, it’s rated IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK10, and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
