CHELMSFORD, Mass.—The video Surveillance equipment manufacturer, Axis Communications, is showing its latest products at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2025 show in New Orleans.
Designed to address the growing need for smarter, more connected systems, the new offerings includes a bi-spectral PTZ camera combining thermal and visual imaging, AI-powered bullet cameras, two next-generation radars with 180 degrees and 270 degrees field-of-detection, and a standalone air quality sensor with two-way audio. Powered by the ARTPEC-9 system-on-chip, the new cameras and radars deliver advanced analytics and secure edge processing, while the air quality sensor expands Axis’ capabilities beyond video to environmental monitoring.
The company asserts that as security demands grow more complex and interconnected, organizations are looking for solutions that go beyond traditional surveillance—solutions that merge multiple sensing technologies, operate efficiently at the edge, and integrate seamlessly with IT and operational systems. Axis’ latest technologies reflect this shift, with new multisensory devices that leverage thermal, visual, radar, audio, and environmental data to enhance real-time awareness and decision-making. Built on an open platform, these innovations support scalable, future-ready deployments across increasingly integrated physical security, IT, and OT environments.
“Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in security technology is core to our DNA—but we always do so with our customers in mind,” says Fredrik Nilsson, VP, Americas, Axis Communications. “Whether it’s AI-powered analytics at the edge, AV1 compression to reduce bandwidth, or devices like our new air quality sensor—combining environmental sensing, audio analytics, and visual alerts—these innovations are designed to meet today’s challenges while preparing customers for tomorrow.”
AXIS Q6411-LE Bispectral PTZ Camera
An AI-powered all-in-one thermal and visual camera, the AXIS Q6411-LE Bispectral PTZ Camera is a two-in-one device that combines a thermal camera for reliable detection and verification 24/7 in all weather and light conditions, and a visual PTZ camera with an extremely light-sensitive ½-inch sensor.
Built on ARTPEC-9, it features a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) to run advanced features and powerful analytics on the edge, including the preinstalled AXIS Object Analytics for the visual stream where it can detect, classify, track, and count humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles. It is also compatible with AXIS Perimeter Defender for reliable long-range thermal detection and classification. Additionally, Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and offers FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure key storage and operations.
AXIS P1475/85-LE and AXIS P1487/88-LE Bullet Cameras
Axis Communications says these four next-generation, AI-powered bullet cameras offer high levels of image quality and forensic details. The AXIS P1475-LE and AXIS P1485-LE offer 2 MP, while AXIS P1487-LE and AXIS P1488-LE, offer 5 MP and 8 MP, respectively. In addition, the AXIS P1488-LE includes a large 1/1.2-inch sensor to ensure consistent performance even in low light.
These cameras come with OptimizedIR for surveillance in pitch darkness up to 50 meters (164 ft). Furthermore, Axis Zipstream with support for AV1, H.264, and H.265 is said to lower bandwidth and storage requirements and cost without compromising image quality.
Built on ARTPEC-9, these cameras offer accelerated performance and make it possible to run analytics applications on the edge. For example, the cameras come with AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled to detect, classify, track, and count humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles.
AXIS D6310 Air Quality Sensor
The AXIS D6310 Air Quality Sensor is a standalone device that helps monitor and manage indoor environments by detecting a range of air pollutants, including vaping and smoking. When thresholds are exceeded, it can trigger automated responses for immediate action.
Built on AXIS OS and an open platform, it integrates with Axis devices via edge-to-edge pairing and supports third-party systems for flexible deployment. It features PoE passthrough, a built-in speaker and microphone for two-way communication, and preinstalled AXIS Audio Analytics for AI-based insights. It’s also compatible with AXIS Audio Manager Pro for zone-based scheduling and content delivery.
Data, Axis Communications points out, is accessible in real time via a virtual stream, allowing users to view live measurements through a web browser or VMS—no additional licenses or processing fees required. This supports compliance with vaping and smoking regulations and enables long-term, data-informed decision-making. With privacy in mind, both the microphone and audio analytics can be permanently disabled. The device is IK08-rated, vandal-resistant, and includes a PIR sensor for presence detection along with four multicolor LEDs for instant visual alerts.
AXIS D2122/23-VE Radars
The AXIS D2122-VE Radar offers a 180-degree horizontal field of detection, and it can mount on walls or fence lines. Axis Communications boasts the D2122-VE Radar unit can recognize humans at a distance up to 140 m (460 ft) in an area of 20,000 m2 (215,300 ft2). The other product, the AXIS D2123-VE Radar, offers 270-degrees of horizontal field of detection and can recognize humans in an area of 30,000 m2 (323,000 ft2). The product can mount on poles or corners. Both radars use unique box-shaped detection and recognition zones to simplify coverage planning and system design.
These radars work either as standalone devices or integrated with selected ARTPEC-9 PTZ cameras, providing seamless operations with accurate visual verification and automatic tracking. This integration, Axis Communications emphasizes, also enables radar-video fusion technology, where AI-powered radar analytics are combined with video analytics in the PTZ camera to minimize false alarms. The two devices are integrated through edge-to-edge radar pairing, and all configurations are handled through the PTZ camera. Therefore, only one IP address and one VMS license are needed. It’s also possible to set up double-knock verification, where both radar and video analytics need to confirm the detection and classification before triggering an event.
