The AXIS D4100-VE Mk II is a PoE-powered network siren with integrated strobe light, designed for outdoor use. The device combines visual and audible alarm functions in an IP-based system and enables flexible integration into existing surveillance and security infrastructures. It is particularly suitable for applications in perimeter protection, such as in combination with AXIS Perimeter Defender technology, as well as for access control systems at parking lots, where a camera is used for license plate recognition.

Applications

The AXIS D4100-VE Mk II is used in security systems where clear, visually and audibly perceivable alarm signaling is required. Typical application scenarios include the protection of industrial facilities, warehouses, parking garages, or entrances, where the device serves as a visual and audible warning signal during alarm events. Integration into license plate recognition systems enables targeted alarm signaling in case of unauthorized access or violations of access rules.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features multicolored light patterns and predefined siren tones that can be activated according to alarm priority. The signals can be controlled via various protocols, including VAPIX®, MQTT, and SIP. This enables compatible connection with Axis devices, Axis VMS systems, as well as VMS solutions from third-party vendors. The siren can thus be integrated into heterogeneous security networks without requiring additional interfaces or adapters.

Technology Explained Simply

The AXIS D4100-VE Mk II is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet), enabling power and data to be transmitted over a single network cable. This reduces installation complexity and allows flexible placement of the device at any location within the network. The integrated CPU enables efficient processing of control commands and alarm profiles. Protection ratings IP66, IK10, and NEMA 4X ensure high robustness: the device is dust- and waterproof, even in heavy rain or snow, and withstands mechanical impacts such as shocks or vibrations. These properties make it suitable for outdoor use, even under harsh environmental conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories

The siren is compatible with a wide range of Axis products and VMS systems. As accessories, various mounting options are available, including brackets for light bars, pole-mount systems, angle brackets, and pendulum kits. Additionally, PoE midspans, network switches, and surge protection devices can be used to support installation and enhance network security. The use of PoE extender or midspan devices enables extension of the power supply range over longer cable runs.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is performed using special brackets that can be selected according to the application site and requirements. Installation requires a network connection via Ethernet cable, with power supplied via PoE. Cabling must comply with applicable standards, especially when installed outdoors. Device integration is performed via the mentioned protocols, with configuration done through the respective VMS software or the device’s web interface.

Operational Advantages

The combination of visual and audible alarm signaling increases the perceptibility of security events. IP-based control enables centralized management and remote operation, even over long distances. The 5-year warranty underscores the device’s reliability. The high protection class ensures a long service life even under extreme environmental conditions.
