Product Information
Full details
The Axis F7225-RE Pinhole Sensor Unit is designed for discreet surveillance in challenging environments for security professionals and integrators. Its key benefit is providing high-resolution video (1080p at 60 fps) in a compact form factor, ideal for tight spaces like ATMs or machinery. A caveat is its reliance on an Axis F91 main unit for operation, making it an accessory rather than a standalone device. This sensor unit offers excellent low-light performance, a wide field of view, and robust weather resistance.

FAQs
Is the Axis F7225-RE a standalone camera?
No, the Axis F7225-RE is a sensor unit that requires an Axis F91 series main unit to operate. It cannot function independently.
What is the maximum cable length supported between the sensor and the main unit?
The sensor unit can be connected to the Axis F91 main unit via a cable up to 30 meters (approximately 98 feet) in length.
What resolution and frame rate can this sensor unit provide?
The sensor unit supports HDTV 1080p video streams at up to 60 frames per second (fps) when paired with compatible Axis F91 main units.
Is this sensor suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, with its IP66 and IP67 ratings, the sensor is protected against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for many outdoor environments.
What are the operating temperature limits?
The sensor unit is designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -30 °C to 55 °C (-22 °F to 131 °F).
How do I clean the pinhole lens?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Does this sensor unit have night vision capabilities?
The sensor unit features an IR cut filter that allows it to switch between day and night modes, providing clear video in low-light conditions. It does not have built-in infrared illumination but relies on ambient light and the IR cut filter.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not detected by the main unit
Check the physical connection between the sensor and the F91 main unit. Ensure the cable is securely plugged in at both ends. Verify that the F91 main unit firmware is up to date and supports the F7225-RE sensor. Try using a different compatible cable if available.
Poor video quality or low frame rate
Ensure the lens is clean and free from smudges or obstructions. Verify the cable length does not exceed the maximum 30m limit. Check the main unit's configuration to ensure the correct resolution (1080p) and frame rate (up to 60 fps) are selected. Review operating temperature to ensure it's within the specified range (-30 to 55 °C).
Image is too dark or noisy in low light
Confirm that the IR cut filter is functioning correctly, switching to night mode. Ensure the sensor is positioned to capture available light effectively. Check the main unit settings for any available low-light enhancement features. Clean the lens, as dirt can degrade image quality.
Water or dust ingress detected
While rated IP66/IP67, extreme conditions can still pose a risk. Inspect the sensor and its cable connection points for any visible damage. If ingress is suspected, disconnect the sensor immediately and contact support. Do not operate the device if water ingress is confirmed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely discreet and compact form factor for hidden installations.
- Excellent video quality at 1080p resolution and 60 fps.
- Reliable performance in low-light conditions.
- Robust IP66/IP67 rating for weather and dust resistance.
- Wide 97° field of view for comprehensive coverage.
- Flexible installation with long cable support (up to 30m).
Cons
- Requires an Axis F91 main unit to function; not a standalone product.
- Limited standalone configuration options; relies on the main unit for settings.
- Horizontal viewing angle (92°) is good but may not cover extremely wide areas without multiple units.
- Vertical viewing angle (45°) is relatively narrow.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Axis F7225-RE is designed to connect to an Axis F91 series main unit (e.g., F9104-B, F9111, F9114, F9114-B). Ensure the main unit is installed and configured according to its manual. Connect the sensor unit to the appropriate port on the main unit using the provided or compatible cable (up to 30 meters). The sensor's configuration, including video streams and settings, is managed through the main unit's interface.
Compatibility: This sensor unit is exclusively compatible with Axis F91 main units. Verify your main unit model supports the F7225-RE sensor for optimal performance.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the lens with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For external cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the sensor remains free from obstructions that could block its view or ventilation. The IP66/IP67 rating indicates resistance to dust and water, but avoid direct high-pressure water streams.
