AXIS TQ1937-E IR Illuminator Kit
The AXIS TQ1937-E IR Illuminator Kit is engineered to elevate night-time surveillance along roadways, arterials, and urban corridors. This high-performance infrared illumination solution is purpose-built to complement AXIS Q16 Series and AXIS P13 Series cameras, delivering dependable, license-plate-ready imagery when the sun goes down. The kit’s four-lens design—two wide-angle lenses for expansive scene capture and two telephoto lenses for high-detail close-ups—provides versatile coverage that adapts to varying traffic conditions and speeds. In dense city environments or high-speed highways, the TQ1937-E helps security teams detect vehicles earlier, read license plates at longer ranges, and verify events with greater confidence. By integrating seamlessly with Axis ecosystems, the kit reduces integration time, simplifies management, and unlocks more reliable analytics, even under challenging lighting. The rugged, outdoor-ready construction is designed to withstand harsh weather, while thoughtful beam management minimizes glare and bloom, ensuring clearer, more actionable footage for operators and investigators. Whether deployed at intersections, toll booths, or along busy corridors, this IR illuminator kit delivers consistent, high-quality night vision that supports faster response, better enforcement, and safer streets.
- The four-lens infrared system combines two wide-angle lenses for broad scene awareness with two telephoto lenses for zoomed-in detail, enabling flexible field-of-view management and precise license-plate capture across varying distances and speeds. This dual-range capability reduces the need for moving cameras and extra hardware, helping you achieve comprehensive coverage with fewer components.
- Seamless Axis integration ensures the TQ1937-E is designed to fit AXIS Q16 Series and AXIS P13 Series cameras without bulky adapters or custom firmware. The kit preserves camera controls, analytics compatibility, and centralized management through Axis software, making deployment straightforward even in multi-camera environments.
- Traffic-optimized performance targets nighttime surveillance challenges common to roads, intersections, and toll facilities. Enhanced IR output minimizes lens flare and halo effects, delivering crisper vehicle silhouettes and legible license plates at practical ranges, while preserving ambient scene context for situational awareness.
- Rugged outdoor design stands up to long-term exposure to dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations typical of urban environments. The housing and optics are selected for reliability in harsh conditions, reducing maintenance cycles and ensuring consistent surveillance quality across seasons and weather events.
- Easy deployment and alignment streamline field setup. The kit is engineered for efficient mounting alongside existing Axis camera installations, with straightforward beam pattern selection and repeatable alignment procedures so technicians can achieve uniform coverage across multiple sites with minimal trial and error.

How to install AXIS TQ1937-E IR Illuminator Kit
- Plan your installation around the target camera locations. Map sightlines to maximize the IR coverage for typical traffic speeds and distances you expect to encounter at the site.
- Prepare mounting surfaces adjacent to the AXIS Q16 or P13 cameras. Ensure the chosen spot provides stable support and minimal exposure to potential obstructions, such as nearby signage, branches, or fencing, which could disrupt IR dispersion.
- Attach the four-lens module to the designated mounting bracket following the manufacturer’s orientation guidelines. Verify that each lens aligns with its intended beam path before securing the assembly.
- Connect power and data cables to your existing Axis infrastructure according to the installation guide. Use weatherproof seals and proper cable routing to maintain reliability in outdoor environments.
- Configure the AXIS devices in your VMS or Axis Device Manager. Synchronize IR output settings with camera exposure parameters to optimize illumination without over-saturation of the image.
- Perform a beam alignment and test under varied lighting conditions. Adjust each lens to achieve the desired field of view, ensuring the broad scene remains informative while distant plates remain readable.
- Document the installation with reference photos and note any site-specific tuning. Schedule periodic checks to re-verify alignment and lighting performance after environmental changes or maintenance work.
