Axis Communications 02640-001 Sensor unit Universal Black Sensor

A shaky, low-light camera feed can leave you blind to critical events, especially in harsh outdoor sites. The Axis Communications 02640-001 Sensor unit Universal Black Sensor is a compact, rugged sensor that fits into Axis network cameras, delivering crystal-clear 1080p video at up to 60 fps or ultra-smooth 720p at 180 fps. It lets you capture every detail, even in extreme temperatures, so you never miss what matters.

Axis Communications 02640-001 Sensor unit Universal Black Sensor - the answer to unreliable surveillance

When a camera’s sensor struggles in cold, heat or vibration, image quality drops and you lose confidence in your security system. This matters because missed footage can mean delayed response, higher risk and costly downtime. The Axis Communications 02640-001 Sensor unit Universal Black Sensor solves the problem with a hardened aluminium housing, SMA-FAKRA connectors that tolerate vibration, and a temperature range from -40 °C to 70 °C. Its high-speed sensor ensures smooth, detailed video, giving you a reliable view no matter the environment.
