Axis Communications announced a series of new security innovations designed to increase deployment flexibility, enhance edge intelligence, and scale modern systems. Together, these technologies reflect the growing convergence of physical security and IT, enabling organizations to unify video, sensors, and analytics within a single intelligent infrastructure. Headlining this year’s lineup is a private cellular solution, alongside a high-speed global shutter camera, advancements in thermal imaging and new panoramic cameras offering 360° views. The portfolio also features an expanded range of network door readers for IP-based access control, as well as intelligent edge-based license plate recognition.

Private Cellular Back Box 

The AXIS TP3604-E Private Cellular Back Box enables high-performance IP cameras to operate without traditional wired infrastructure, providing greater deployment flexibility. It connects compatible AXIS P14 and AXIS P32 cameras directly to an enterprise Private Cellular Network (PCN), eliminating the need for costly trenching and complex cabling. As a result, integrators can rapidly deploy cameras wherever PCN coverage and AC power are available, bypassing the limitations of Wi-Fi or public cellular networks while delivering fast, reliable connectivity through a dedicated private network.

The AXIS TP3604-E is expected to launch in the U.S. in August 2026, with availability in select EMEA countries.

Global Shutter Camera 

Using advanced CMOS global shutter technology, AXIS P1486-LE Global Shutter Camera delivers distortion-free images of fast-moving objects, eliminating motion blur and rolling shutter artifacts to support accurate identification and forensic analysis. Its built-in continuous and strobing IR illumination ensures clear capture of vehicles and license plates even in challenging lighting conditions. Powered by the ARTPEC-9 system-on-chip, the camera supports advanced edge analytics for real-time processing and intelligent insights directly on the device, reducing server load. Engineered for continuous operation, it is purpose-built for demanding applications such as traffic monitoring, logistics hubs, manufacturing lines, and other high-speed environments where precision is critical.

The AXIS P1486-LE Global Shutter Camera will be available through Axis distribution channels June 2026.

Edge-Based License Plate Recognition 

AXIS License Plate Verifier, an edge-based analytics application, provides license plate recognition for both vehicle access control and free-flow traffic scenarios. Running directly on compatible Axis cameras, the solution enables real-time vehicle identification without the need for dedicated servers. Developed by FF Group, whose LPR analytics are now part of Axis, the Verifier leverages this technology to power automated allowlists and blocklists that can trigger actions such as opening gates or barriers, while logged events support efficient search and review.

The latest version of AXIS License Plate Verifier is currently available to license or for free 60-day trial at axis.com

New Thermal Solutions 

Axis is expanding its thermal portfolio with two new offerings — the AXIS Q2802-E Bispectral Camera and the AXIS F2180-TE Thermal Sensor — designed to enhance situational awareness and enable proactive monitoring. By combining thermal and visual imaging in a single device, the Q2802-E enables operators to merge detection, verification, and environmental monitoring into one intelligent sensor platform.

The AXIS Q2802-E Bispectral Camera and the AXIS F2180-TE Thermal Sensor will be available through Axis distribution channels Q2 2026.

Panoramic Cameras 

New additions to the panoramic camera lineup, the M4337/38 PLVE and the AXIS M4347/48 PLVE Panoramic Cameras, redefine wide-area surveillance with unparalleled detail and versatility. Available in 6 MP and 12 MP models, these true 360° cameras feature built-in IR for clear images in total darkness, and the AXIS M4347/48 adds integrated microphones for audio streaming and analytics. Powered by the latest ARTPEC-9 chip, these cameras support advanced edge analytics and offer robust designs (IP66, IK10 ratings, -40C to +50C temperature range) suited for demanding indoor and outdoor installations. This series provides a single-camera solution for expansive coverage, reducing installation complexity and cost while maximizing situational awareness.

The new AXIS M43 Series will be available through Axis distribution channels Q2 2026.

Advanced Network Readers for Access Control 

On the access control side, Axis is expanding its portfolio with two new IP readers and three new OSDP readers that elevate security and simplify management for scalable, IP-based access control systems. These readers seamlessly integrate with Axis door controllers, offering robust interoperability and advanced cybersecurity.

The AXIS A4030-E, AXIS A4130-E, and AXIS A4131-E with keypad OSDP readers and the AXIS A4610 and AXIS A4611 Network Reader with keypad IP readers introduce protection through EAL6+ Certified Secure Elements and transparent mode for secure end-to-end encryption, safeguarding sensitive access control data.
