Axis 0913-001 Covert / Pinhole Sensor units FA1105 8 meters 2MP content_copy

The AXIS FA1105 is a sensor unit for discreet indoor surveillance, designed for use in shops, banks, or for integration into machinery. It is operated in conjunction with a main unit of type AXIS FA and enables a discreet installation, where only a small hole for the lens remains visible. The unit is designed for mounting in walls, ceilings, or metal cladding, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into existing architectures.

Applications
The AXIS FA1105 is particularly suitable for applications requiring discreet surveillance, without the camera being prominently placed in the room. It is intended for indoor use and is deployed in areas where unobtrusive yet reliable video surveillance is necessary, such as retail stores, bank branches, or industrial environments with machine integration. The compact design allows installation in tight spaces where conventional cameras would not fit.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The sensor unit offers a resolution of 1080p (HDTV), ensuring clear and detailed video recordings. The horizontal field of view is 111°, enabling a broad surveillance area. The camera uses Forensic WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), a technology optimized for motion, ensuring that moving objects remain clearly visible even in scenes with strong light contrasts. The fixed lens with a focal length of 2.8 mm is standard and provides a wide viewing angle. The unit has no IR illumination and does not support night vision, making it suitable exclusively for use in environments with sufficient ambient lighting.

Technology Explained Simply
The AXIS FA1105 is not a standalone camera, but a sensor unit connected via cable to a main unit of type AXIS FA. This main unit handles the network connection, power supply, and video processing. The sensor unit itself is not designed for outdoor use and is not classified as an outdoor device. Power is supplied via PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing the network cable to transmit both data and power simultaneously. The unit does not support audio functions and has no I/O connections.

Compatibility and Accessories
The AXIS FA1105 is specifically designed for use with main units of type AXIS FA. Various mounting options are available as accessories, including wall brackets (e.g. TF9905), mounting enclosures (e.g. TF1201, TF1204-RE), and protective caps (F8401). Additionally, various lenses (e.g. M12 Lens 2.8 mm, 6 mm, 16 mm) and cables (e.g. F7315, F7308) can be used to adapt the installation to specific requirements. The delivery includes a mounting bracket and an 8 m long cable for connection to the main unit.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by embedding the unit into a wall, ceiling, or metal cladding, with the sensor unit installed flush. The included mounting bracket allows for secure fastening. The 8 m long cable is connected to the main unit, providing the sensor unit with power and network connectivity. Installation requires no additional tools or components, except for optional accessories that may be needed depending on the application.

Operational Advantages
The AXIS FA1105 offers a discreet surveillance solution with high image quality and a wide field of view. The use of PoE reduces installation complexity, and integration into existing AXIS systems enables centralized management. The combination of Forensic WDR and 1080p resolution ensures clear recordings even in high-contrast lighting conditions, which is important for video analysis and evidence collection. The unit is optimized for indoor use and requires no additional light sources or night vision functions.
