Pulsar Axion 2 XG35 Thermal Monocular
- CCTV Lens Guide
- Hard Drive Size Guide
Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

The Axion 2 XG35s F35/1.0 fast aperture lens, greatly improved image quality, extended battery life (offering up to 11 hours of power on a single charge), improved algorithms, and impressive 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi range provides an incredible thermal imaging experience.
With a wide range of features packed into a compact and lightweight design, it is easy to grip and can be operated with ease, no matter whether the user is right or left-handed, thanks to the symmetrical design and in-line button arrangement on the upper panel.
Highly Sensitive Thermal Sensor
The Axion 2 XG35 features a highly sensitive 640×480, 12 µm, NETD <40mK thermal sensor, combined with a powerful Germanium F35/1.0 objective lens, to provide an impressive 1750m detection range of a standard 1.8m object in total darkness, withstanding even the most difficult, adverse weather conditions, such as fog, rain, and high levels of humidity.
Fast Aperture F35/1.0 Lens
The fast aperture Germanium F35/1.0 lens uses high infrared transmission in the LWIR range; and, due to the precision with which the optical elements within the lens have been manufactured, the Axion 2 XG35 presents a level of image detail that is clear and well distinguished.
Enhanced Image Processing
Enhanced image processing algorithms within the device provide high quality rendering of both target objects and background. Three available levels of signal amplification, combined with a connected smoothing filter and fine brightness and contrast adjustments, provide the user with greater opportunities in terms of long-range detection of an animal and its extremities in varying weather and temperature conditions.
Variable Magnification
8x digital zoom with a base magnification of 2.5x -20x for better object recognition at considerable distances. This zoom can change either by x2 steps, or in continuous motion to offer a optimised, customised field of view.
AMOLED Display
A high contrast VGA-resolution AMOLED display, which features enhanced colour rendering, provides a clear and smooth picture whilst on-the-move.
Magnesium Alloy Housing
Despite its compact size, Axion 2 XG35 has been designed with constant and hard use in mind. The magnesium alloy housing, though extremely light, is also incredibly strong; reliably protecting the internal components from shocks, drops, moisture, heat, or cold. This housing also acts as a heat sink, removing heat generated by the internal electronics, minimising image noise, and increasing operational consistency over long periods of observation.
IPX7 Waterproof
The IPX7 waterproof rating means that this thermal imaging monocular will work in heavy rain, high humidity, and will even withstand immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
Up to 7 Hours Battery Life
The Axion 2 XG35 uses an APS5 rechargeable battery, which offers up to 7 hours of battery life on just a single charge (depending on temperature).
Removing and replacing the battery is achieved easily in mere seconds thanks to the intuitive design, and recharging is as simple as placing the battery into its charging dock or plugging directly into a PC/household power system via a USB-C cable.
Picture in Picture (PiP) Mode
Picture in Picture (PiP) mode allows the user to display a zoomed in zeroing frame at the top of the display, in which the observation area can be magnified by x2 or x4, whilst simultaneously retaining visual control over the entire field of view.
8 Colour Palettes
A choice of eight colour palettes provides the user with the ability more effectively observe their field of view, optimising the Axion 2 XG35 for specific tasks and allowing it to react to changing observation conditions.
For object detection, use White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot; Rainbow and Ultramarine are most effective for object recognition and identification; and Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet are best for long periods of observation in total darkness.
Built-In Video & Still Image Recorder
Capture once-in-a-lifetime moments with built-in video and still image recording capabilities. The Axion 2 XG35s internal memory is capable of storing hours of videos and tens of thousands of still images at just the touch of a button.
Footage is easily copied onto a computer using a USB-C cable, or, with the built-in WiFi module and Stream Vision 2 connectivity, the user can easily view and share memorable moments of their hunt straight from the cloud.
Built-In Wi-Fi Module
The Axion 2 XG35 will also compliment the standard smartphone 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency range with an effective 5 GHz connection range, vastly improving the bandwidth and connection stability, as well as providing a faster rate of data transfer and noise immunity, all for more a more reliable operation of thermal imager and smartphone.
Stream Vision 2
Connecting the Stream Vision 2 mobile app will provide a variety of intuitive features and functionalities, including the ability to use your mobile phone or tablet as a second screen, remote control of digital functions, viewing and sharing videos and still images, remotely installing all the latest firmware updates, and much more. Whats more, users will receive a generous 16GB of free cloud storage in which to keep their video recordings and still images. The app is available for Apple and Android devices on the Apple AppStore and the Google Play Store respectively. Features and functionalities include:
Remote Control
Use your mobile phone as a wireless remote, so you can control and adjust your devices settings. You can then see all the changes you make on your smartphone or tablet screen in real-time. You can also record footage or take still images using your mobile phone.
