IP security camera Axis 02485-001 1920 x 1080 pixels

The Axis 02485-001 is an affordable IP security camera for indoor and outdoor monitoring. Housed in an IP66-, IK10- and NEMA 4X-rated white box casing, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and redundant DC power for continued operation during power interruptions. The camera records 1920 x 1080 images at up to 30 fps, offers a wide horizontal field of view and low-light sensitivity down to 0.1 lx, and includes audio input and a CS-mount for exchangeable lenses. Built-in Axis Lightfinder and Axis Forensic WDR improve color fidelity and detail in difficult lighting, while AXIS Object Analytics enables classification of humans and vehicles. Axis Zipstream with H.264/H.265 reduces bandwidth and storage requirements.

Advantages

The camera’s robust IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X enclosure provides weather and vandal resistance for outdoor use. PoE support and redundant DC power increase installation flexibility and reliability. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR technologies deliver clear colors and detail in low light and high-contrast scenes. CS-mount compatibility allows lens interchange for different coverage needs. Built-in analytics and audio input extend functionality for security applications, and Zipstream with H.264/H.265 optimizes network and storage efficiency.

How to use

Mount the box camera on a wall or suitable bracket using the provided mounting points and connect it to a wired Ethernet network. For PoE installations, a compatible PoE switch or injector supplies power; alternatively connect redundant DC power for backup. Select and install a CS-mount lens that matches the desired field of view. Configure video settings, Lightfinder and Forensic WDR as needed in the camera’s web interface or management software, enable AXIS Object Analytics if required, and set up recording and audio input in the NVR or VMS.

Recommendations

Install the camera at a height and angle that minimizes glare and maximizes scene coverage. Use PoE for simpler installation and add redundant DC power in critical locations. Choose an appropriate CS-mount lens for the required field of view, and test analytics and audio settings during commissioning to ensure reliable detection and classification.
