Axis Communications announced the upcoming launch of two innovative radars. Each powerful device delivers 180° or 270° horizontal field of detection with accurate AI-powered classification across large areas in all weather and light conditions, 24/7. Their deep integration with selected Axis PTZ cameras enables radar-video fusion technology, adding an extra layer to strengthen a video surveillance system with enhanced surveillance capabilities and optimal performance.
AXIS D2122-VE Radar offers a wide 180° horizontal field of detection and is ideal for mounting on walls or fence lines. It can recognize humans at a distance up to 140 m (460 ft) in an area of 20,000 m2 (215,300 ft2). The other product, AXIS D2123-VE Radar, offers an astounding 270° horizontal field of detection and can recognize humans in an area of 30,000 m2 (323,000 ft2)*. It’s ideal for mounting on poles or corners. Both radars use unique box-shaped detection and recognition zones to simplify coverage planning and system design.
These radars work either as standalone devices or integrated with selected ARTPEC-9 PTZ cameras, providing seamless operations with accurate visual verification and automatic tracking. This integration also enables radar-video fusion technology, where AI-powered radar analytics are combined with video analytics in the PTZ camera to minimize false alarms. The two devices are integrated through edge-to-edge radar pairing, and all configurations are handled through the PTZ camera. Therefore, only one IP address and one VMS license are needed. It’s also possible to set up double-knock verification, where both radar and video analytics need to confirm the detection and classification before triggering an event. This multi-layered approach results in maximum efficiency with more enriched data and better decision-making tools for security guards and operating personnel.
Key features include:
- Outstanding 180°/270° horizontal field of detection
- Classify objects over expansive areas
- Box-shaped detection and recognition zones for efficient coverage
- Deep integration with selected PTZ cameras
- Possibility for radar-video fusion technology
These radars offer great flexibility. They’re compatible with various Axis devices, such as panoramic cameras and strobe speakers, making it easy to adapt to changing security requirements. Furthermore, they’re easy to mount, and thanks to their low power consumption and support for PoE out, they’re ideal for mobile surveillance or off-grid installations where power availability is limited.
