AXIS Q2101-TE Outdoor Network Camera - Color - White - TAA Compliant

Meet the AXIS Q2101-TE, a rugged outdoor network camera engineered for large-site surveillance where temperature awareness matters. This versatile camera blends vivid color imaging with advanced temperature analytics, enabling security teams to remotely monitor ambient temperatures, identify heat anomalies, and trigger temperature-based events that help prevent incidents before they escalate. Designed for demanding environments, it combines performance with resilience, delivering reliable monitoring across expansive campuses, critical infrastructure, and industrial facilities. With built-in cybersecurity features and a TAA-compliant design, it supports compliant deployments while safeguarding feeds and configurations against evolving threats.

• Advanced temperature monitoring and analytics empower operators to detect heat build-up, track infrared patterns, and trigger early-fire detection analytics on robust outdoor sites. This capability reduces response times, enhances safety protocols, and improves incident containment by providing proactive alerts when temperatures rise outside predefined thresholds.
• Color imaging provides essential scene context, enabling precise object identification and situational awareness when ambient lighting allows color visualization. The combination of color and thermal data helps security teams correlate heat signatures with people, vehicles, or equipment, improving accuracy in perimeter patrols and large-area monitoring.
• Built-in cybersecurity features safeguard your surveillance ecosystem. Expect encrypted communications, secure boot, signed firmware updates, and strong access controls to protect camera feeds, configuration data, and software integrity against unauthorized access and cyber threats.
• Rugged outdoor design for harsh environments. The camera is built to withstand challenging climates, with weatherproof housing and vandal-resistance that support reliable operation in sun, rain, dust, and temperature extremes, making it suitable for remote facilities and exposed locations.
• Flexible deployment and seamless integration. With PoE support, compatibility with Axis VMS and third-party video management systems, and standard network protocols, the AXIS Q2101-TE fits neatly into existing security infrastructures and scales to multi-camera deployments across large campuses or industrial sites.

how to install AXIS Q2101-TE

• Plan placement to optimize the balance between field of view, temperature sensing coverage, and power/network accessibility. Confirm a stable mounting surface and a clear line of sight for both color and thermal data capture.
• Mount the camera to the chosen support using the included bracket and weatherproof seals. Ensure seals are properly seated to maintain IP-rated protection and prevent moisture ingress.
• Connect the Ethernet cable to the PoE-enabled port and verify network availability. If your facility uses a dedicated power source, connect according to the approved power configuration (PoE preferred for simplicity).
• Power on the camera and access its web interface via a standard browser. Assign a strong administrator password, enable HTTPS, and configure initial security settings such as IP filtering and user roles to restrict access.
• Configure imaging, analytics, and integration options. Set temperature thresholds, enable fire-detection analytics as needed, and connect the camera to your VMS or Axis Control Center for centralized monitoring and alerting.
