Axis Communications announces a compact thermal sensor that can remotely monitor temperatures and trigger temperature-based events. Ideal for small or demanding installations, it’s designed for use with AXIS F91 Mk II main units.
AXIS F2180-TE Thermal Sensor can remotely monitor temperatures from -10 to 450 °C (14 to 842 °F). It sends a notification if the temperature passes a set threshold, or if it increases or decreases too rapidly within an area.
In addition, deviation detection sends an alert if there are temperature differences across measurement areas, ensuring adequate response time and reduced downtime. Up to four configurable polygonal detection areas are supported per sensor unit. Additionally, spot temperature reading shows the exact temperature in specific areas.
Ideal for installation in, for example, data centers, battery storage, charging stations, production facilities, and inside vehicles. This compact device offers discreet installation and blends seamlessly into indoor applications. Based on a divided network camera concept, it can be placed away from the main unit, and only the small sensor is externally visible.
Key features include:
- 57° or 95° horizontal field of view
- Trigger temperature-based alerts
- Temperature deviation detection
- Configurable polygonal detection areas
- For installation in machinery, vehicles, and tight spaces
This thermal sensor connects to AXIS F91 Mk II main units using a ruggedized SMA-FAKRA connector with cables up to 30 m (98 ft). When used with AXIS F9114-R Mk II, up to four sensor units can be used simultaneously, both thermal and visual. There’s also a variety of mounting accessories available for wall and recessed mounting.

The thermal sensor is planned to be available through Axis distribution channels by April 2026.
