™

FLIR AX8

Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package,

the AX8 provides continuous temperature monitoring and alarming

for uninterrupted condition monitoring of critical electrical and

mechanical equipment.

CONTINUOUS CONDITION &
SAFETY MONITORING

The AX8 helps you guard against unplanned outages, service

interruptions, and equipment failure by providing uninterrupted

temperature monitoring, so you’ll get the benets of continuous

condition monitoring and hot spot detection without the need for

periodic manual scans.

Compact and easy to install, AX8 provides
continuous monitoring of:

• Process and manufacturing industries

• Data centers

• Energy generation and distribution

• Transportation and mass transit

• Storage facilities

AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS AND ALARMS

With its streaming video output, the AX8 not only gives you live video

of every installation, but it also provides automated alarming when

pre-set temperature thresholds are exceeded. More advanced alarms

like temperature trending can be done by using PLC’s.

AX8 provides:

Industry-standard interfaces

• Ethernet/IP

• Modbus TCP

Multiple streaming video formats

• MPEG

• MJPEG

• H.26 4

COMPACT & EASY TO INSTALL

Combining thermal and visual cameras in a small, affordable package,

the AX8 measures only 54 x 25 x 95 mm, making it easy to install in

space-constrained areas for uninterrupted condition monitoring of

critical electrical and mechanical equipment.

Constantly Monitor Critical Equipment

Peace of Mind in Manufacturing

MULTIPLE VIDEO OPTIONS

With A X8, you can view its thermal imagery, visible light imagery, or

the two combined into FLIR’s proprietary, patent pending MSX multi-

spectral dynamic imaging.

MSX provides image detail from the visible camera
embossed on the thermal image, giving you:

• Sharper edge detail

• The abilit y to read labels

• Better contextual awareness

With MSX

Spot Heat Variance Quickly

AX8 KEY FEATURES

• Extremely affordable

• Ultra-compact

• Intelligent temperature sensor

• Built in analysis

• Power over Ethernet (PoE)

• MSX

Without MSX

Innovative, small and
affordable the FLIR AX8
is an industry game changer
for continuous thermal
monitoring of critical
installations and facilities.
