Rugged 185° fisheye sensor unit with 1080p video, high-frame-rate support and SMA-FAKRA connectivity for compatible AXIS F-series main units

The AXIS F2135-RE Fisheye Sensor is a compact modular camera sensor designed for discreet wide-area video capture in indoor, outdoor, vehicle and machinery applications.

It provides a 185° horizontal field of view at 1080p through a fixed 1.98 mm F2.0 fisheye lens, while supporting high frame rates when used with compatible AXIS F-series main units.

The F2135-RE is built around the divided-camera concept used in the Axis F Modular Camera Series. The small sensor head can be installed separately from the main processing unit, allowing only the sensor to remain visible at the monitored location.

The product uses rugged SMA-FAKRA connectivity and is designed for environments exposed to vibration, temperature variation and demanding installation conditions.

Video Performance

The AXIS F2135-RE supports different resolution and frame-rate combinations depending on the connected main unit.

1080p

Maximum Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps

Horizontal Field of View: 185°

Vertical Field of View: 97°

720p

Horizontal Field of View: 120°

Vertical Field of View: 62°

With the appropriate AXIS F9111-series main unit, the sensor can support up to 180 fps at 720p.

This can be useful for applications where high frame rates are more important than maximum resolution.

Lens Specifications

Lens Type: Fixed focal

Focal Length: 1.98 mm

Aperture: F2.0

Lens Mount: M12

Iris: Fixed

The very short focal length provides the fisheye coverage that distinguishes this sensor from standard or varifocal F-series sensor units.

185° Wide-Area Coverage

At 1080p, the AXIS F2135-RE provides:

Horizontal Field of View: 185°

Vertical Field of View: 97°

This allows a single compact sensor to capture a very broad scene.

It may be useful where the objective is to observe a large area from a discreet mounting point rather than concentrate on a narrow distant target.

Actual usable coverage depends on placement, orientation, lighting and scene geometry.

Low-Light Video

The supplied product information identifies the F2135-RE as supporting:

• Lightfinder
• Forensic WDR
• Color imaging in low-light environments

These capabilities are intended to help preserve usable image information in challenging lighting conditions.

The final result depends on the main unit, sensor configuration and actual scene.

Rugged SMA-FAKRA Connection

The F2135-RE uses a modular cabling system based on SMA-FAKRA connectivity.

This connection architecture is designed to support ruggedized installations where vibration resistance is important.

Axis cable lengths can extend up to approximately:

30 m / 98 ft

depending on the selected cable.

This provides flexibility when the sensor and main unit need to be installed some distance apart.

Modular Camera Architecture

The F2135-RE does not operate as a standalone network camera.

It connects to a compatible AXIS F-series main unit, which handles functions such as:

• Video processing
• Network communication
• Analytics
• Storage
• System integration

This divided architecture allows the sensor to remain physically small while the processing hardware is installed elsewhere.

Compatible Main Units

The supplied information identifies the following compatible main units:

AXIS F9104-B Mk II Main Unit

AI-based 4-channel barebone main unit for integration.

AXIS F9111-R Mk II Main Unit

AI-based single-channel unit for high-vibration environments.

AXIS F9114-B Mk II Main Unit

AI-based 4-channel barebone main unit with I/O ports.

AXIS F9114-R Mk II Main Unit

AI-based 4-channel main unit designed for high-vibration environments.

The correct main unit should be chosen according to the number of sensors, required frame rate, analytics and installation environment.

High-Frame-Rate Applications

One of the notable characteristics of the F2135-RE is its high-frame-rate capability.

With the appropriate main unit:

1080p: up to 60 fps

720p: up to 180 fps

High frame rates may be useful where the system needs to capture rapidly changing movement.

The trade-off between resolution, frame rate and storage requirements should be considered during system design.

Environmental Protection

The F2135-RE carries the following ratings:

• IP66
• IP67
• IP6K9K

These ratings support use in demanding environments when the sensor is installed correctly.

The sensor is designed for conditions including:

• Dust exposure
• Water exposure under rated conditions
• Outdoor installation
• Vehicle installations
• Machinery applications

Correct mounting, connectors and cable sealing remain important.

Temperature Performance

The supplied information states that the F2135-RE can withstand:

Low Temperature: down to -40°C

High Temperature: up to 70°C intermittently

This makes it suitable for environments with significant temperature variation.

Continuous and intermittent operating limits should still be respected according to the final installation conditions.

Compact Dimensions

Length: 46 mm / 1.8 in

Diameter: 29.8 mm / 1.2 in

Weight: approximately 50 g / 0.1 lb

The small form factor allows the sensor to be installed where a conventional camera body would be impractical or visually intrusive.

Applications

The AXIS F2135-RE may be considered for:

• Vehicle surveillance
• Bus interiors
• Emergency vehicles
• Machinery monitoring
• Industrial equipment
• Discreet indoor monitoring
• Outdoor modular camera systems
• Wide-area surveillance
• Embedded surveillance installations
• High-frame-rate applications
• Transportation environments

Purpose of Use

The F2135-RE is designed for systems requiring a small, rugged fisheye sensor positioned separately from the network-camera processing unit.

It may be particularly useful where:

• Space around the sensor is limited
• Wide-area viewing is required
• Vibration is present
• The camera needs to be discreet
• The main unit must be installed elsewhere
• High frame rates are required

Required Hardware

To create an operational system, the F2135-RE requires:

• Compatible AXIS F-series main unit
• Compatible Axis modular camera cable
• Appropriate mounting hardware

The sensor should not be treated as a complete standalone network camera.

Things to Verify Before Ordering

Before ordering, confirm:

• Exact part number: 02641-001 or 02641-021
• Single unit or 8-piece pack
• Compatible main unit
• Number of required sensor channels
• Required video resolution
• Required frame rate
• Required field of view
• Cable type
• Cable length
• Installation environment
• Vibration requirements
• Mounting arrangement
• Indoor or outdoor use
• System storage requirements
• Analytics requirements

Who Should Consider the AXIS F2135-RE?

This sensor may be suitable for:

• Vehicle system integrators
• Transportation operators
• Industrial system designers
• Machinery manufacturers
• Security system integrators
• Organizations requiring very wide coverage
• Projects needing discreet modular camera placement

If higher resolution is required, the AXIS F2137-RE 5 MP Fisheye Sensor may be more appropriate depending on the application.

AXIS F2135-RE vs AXIS F2137-RE

These are related but different fisheye sensor products.

AXIS F2135-RE

• 1080p
• Up to 60 fps at 1080p
• Up to 180 fps at 720p with compatible main unit
• 185° horizontal field of view
• 50 g

AXIS F2137-RE

• Approximately 54 g

The choice depends on whether the requirement prioritizes higher frame rate or higher resolution.

Why NEOTECH® UAE

NEOTECH® recommends choosing modular surveillance components as a complete system rather than selecting the sensor alone.

For the AXIS F2135-RE, the sensor, main unit, cable, frame-rate requirement and installation environment should all be verified together.
