AI-powered classification across large areas

SMART Access & Identity 2026 Surveillance, Products & Solutions, AI & Data Analytics


Axis Communications announced the upcoming launch of two innovative radars. Each device delivers a 180° or 270° horizontal field of detection, with accurate AI-powered classification across large areas, 24/7, in all weather and lighting conditions. Their deep integration with selected Axis PTZ cameras enables radar-video fusion, adding an extra layer that strengthens a video surveillance system with enhanced capabilities and optimal performance.

AXIS D2122-VE Radar offers a wide 180° horizontal field of detection and is ideal for mounting on walls or fence lines. It can recognise humans at a distance up to 140 m in an area of 20 000 m2. The other product, AXIS D2123-VE Radar, offers a 270° horizontal field of detection and can recognise humans in an area of 30 000 m2. It is ideal for mounting on poles or corners. Both radars use unique box-shaped detection and recognition zones to simplify coverage planning and system design.

These radars operate either as standalone devices or in conjunction with selected ARTPEC-9 PTZ cameras, providing seamless operation with accurate visual verification and automatic tracking. This integration also enables radar-video fusion, combining AI-powered radar analytics with video analytics in the PTZ camera to minimise 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 is 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. This multi-layered approach delivers maximum efficiency, enriched data, and better decision-making tools for security guards and operating personnel.

Key features

• 180°/270° horizontal field of detection.

• Classify objects over expansive areas.

• Box-shaped detection and recognition zones for efficient coverage.

• Deep integration with selected PTZ cameras.

• Possibility for radar-video fusion technology.

These radars offer flexibility, are compatible with various Axis devices, such as panoramic cameras and strobe speakers, making it easy to adapt to changing security requirements. Furthermore, they are easy to mount and, thanks to their low power consumption and PoE out support, ideal for mobile surveillance or off-grid installations where power availability is limited.
