The AXIS P1245 Mk II is a modular network camera consisting of two separate components: a small, thumb-sized sensor unit and a main unit connected by a cable. This design enables flexible installation, allowing the sensor unit to be placed independently of the main unit. The sensor unit is designed for indoor use and can be discreetly mounted in confined spaces, such as ceiling or wall openings. The connection between the two parts is made via a detachable cable supporting a length of up to 15 m. This allows spatial separation of the components, enabling the camera to be used in various application scenarios without the main unit being directly visible in the surveillance area.

Applications

The camera is suitable for a wide range of surveillance tasks indoors, particularly where discreet mounting is required. Typical applications include office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, or other areas where unobtrusive monitoring is desired. The modular construction also allows adaptation to different spatial conditions, as the sensor unit can be installed in hard-to-reach locations while the main unit is positioned in an accessible place.

Functions and Features in Detail

The AXIS P1245 Mk II offers a video resolution of HDTV 1080p, ensuring clear and detailed video transmission. The field of view is 111°, providing sufficient coverage of the surveillance area. Pre-installed is AXIS Object Analytics, a feature for object detection in video. Additionally, the camera supports advanced analytics functions enabled by an integrated Deep Learning Processing Unit. This unit allows processing of complex image analyses, such as motion detection, person recognition, or identification of specific objects, without requiring additional hardware.

Technology Explained Simply

The modular architecture of the camera is based on the separation of the sensor and main unit. The sensor unit, responsible for optical capture, is compact and can be easily installed in small openings. The main unit, which handles processing and network connectivity, can be installed at a separate location. The detachable cable, with a maximum length of 15 m, enables flexible positioning. The Deep Learning Processing Unit enables local processing of image analytics, allowing the camera to recognize complex patterns without sending data to an external server. This reduces latency and increases surveillance efficiency.

Compatibility and Accessories

The AXIS P1245 Mk II can be combined with various accessories to extend its functionality. These include, for example, PoE adapters, network switches, lenses with different focal lengths (such as 6 mm or 16 mm), mounting accessories such as installation brackets or Recessed Mounts, and lighting solutions such as white light projectors. These components allow adaptation of the camera to specific requirements, such as extending the range using PoE extenders or improving image quality in poor lighting conditions with additional lighting.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out in two steps: First, the sensor unit is mounted at the desired location, for example in a ceiling or wall, using an installation bracket if needed. Then, the main unit is installed at an accessible location and connected to the sensor unit via the detachable cable. The cable connection is modular and can be replaced or upgraded as required.

Operational Advantages

The modular design offers installation flexibility and enables discreet placement of the sensor unit. The integrated Deep Learning Processing Unit reduces dependence on external computing resources and enables fast, local image analysis. The pre-installed AXIS Object Analytics ensures immediate availability of analysis functions without requiring additional software or configuration. The camera is therefore suitable for users requiring reliable, discreet, and high-performance video surveillance indoors.
