IP security camera Axis 02442-031 4 MP 2688 x 1512 pixels

The AXIS 02442-031 is an outdoor-ready barebone IP security camera offering 4 MP resolution (2688 x 1512) at up to 60 fps. It is built around a 1/1.8” CMOS sensor with Lightfinder 2.0 and low-light sensitivity down to 0.05 lx. The camera supports wired Ethernet connectivity, H.264/H.265 compression, and is supplied without lens and mounting to allow flexible system integration. It includes power-efficient IR and white LED illumination and is designed to run advanced edge analytics using the latest Axis system-on-chip (SoC) and AXIS Object Analytics for nuanced object classification.

Advantages

The device delivers high-quality video in challenging lighting thanks to the 1/1.8” sensor, Lightfinder 2.0 and integrated illumination. Support for up to 60 fps enables smooth motion capture, while H.264/H.265 compression reduces bandwidth and storage needs. The SoC supports edge-based deep learning applications and AXIS Object Analytics for improved object classification. Built-in cybersecurity features protect against unauthorized access. Supplied as a barebone unit without lens or mount, the camera offers installation flexibility for different lenses and mounting solutions.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and outdoor surveillance where external illumination or IR is required
• Locations requiring detailed object classification and edge analytics
• Installations that need high-frame-rate capture of moving subjects
• Custom installations where lens choice and mount type are selected separately

How to use

Choose and install a compatible lens and appropriate mounting bracket for the intended location (ceiling or wall). Connect the camera to a power source and wired Ethernet network, configure network and video settings using Axis management tools, and select H.264 or H.265 compression to balance image quality and bandwidth. Enable AXIS Object Analytics and any edge applications supported by the camera’s SoC as required. Adjust IR and white LED illumination settings for optimal scene coverage and low-light performance.

Recommendations

For outdoor deployments, select a lens with the required field of view and use a mounting solution rated for external conditions. Configure illumination levels and exposure settings during commissioning to avoid overexposure from the built-in white LED. Use wired Ethernet with secure network practices and enable the camera’s cybersecurity features to limit unauthorized access.
