Base unit AXIS F9114-R Mk II — indoor wired Ethernet, 10/100/1000 Mbps, 10–48 V, 12.7 W typ

AXIS F9114-R Mk II is a wired indoor base unit designed to serve as a resilient, AI-capable central module in Axis surveillance systems. It provides four-channel video processing with support for up to 4K resolution across channels, wired Ethernet at 10/100/1000 Mbps and accepts a wide input voltage range (10–48 V). The unit is intended for professional installations that require robust operation in high-vibration environments and centralized management of several sensor units.

Advantages

The main unit combines edge deep-learning processing with efficient network and power management: a built-in deep learning processing unit (DLPU) enables advanced analytics at the edge, reducing the need for external servers. Zipstream with H.264/H.265 reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while a single VMS license can cover multiple connected sensors, lowering total cost of ownership. Rugged mechanical design, FAKRA connectors and support for ignition-controlled shutdown make the unit suitable for demanding mobile and industrial installations. Hardware-based security via Axis Edge Vault and FIPS 140-2 Level 2 cryptographic storage secures keys and sensitive data.

Suitable for

• Mobile surveillance systems in vehicles and buses (with ignition control)
• Industrial or transport environments with high vibration
• Multi-sensor indoor installations requiring centralized processing
• Installations that require on-edge analytics and metadata for forensic search

How to use

Install the AXIS F9114-R Mk II indoors on a stable surface or within a compatible rack and connect the sensor units selected for your setup. Provide power via the DC input within the specified 10–48 V range and connect the unit to your network using a Gigabit Ethernet link. Configure the unit through Axis configuration tools and load the required sensor profiles; AXIS Object Analytics and Sensor Metrics are available for on-edge analytics and telemetry. Use the built-in USB port if additional peripherals or future applications are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in mobile or high-vibration environments, use appropriate mountings and FAKRA-certified cables; enable ignition-controlled shutdown when installed in vehicles to prevent battery drain. Configure Zipstream and storage profiles to optimize bandwidth and storage according to your VMS and retention needs, and keep firmware up to date to maintain security features provided by Axis Edge Vault.
