Axis P3247-LV 5MP Indoor Dome Camera
The Axis P3247-LV is a compact, 5 MP fixed indoor dome camera built for high-reliability surveillance in vandal-prone environments. With forensic-grade WDR, advanced low-light performance, and IK10 impact resistance, this camera delivers evidence-quality video across retail, education, transportation, and facility security applications while maintaining a discrete, low-profile form factor suitable for ceiling or wall mounting.
Key Features
- 5 MP Resolution at 30 fps with Forensic WDR: Captures sharp, detailed video with Forensic Wide Dynamic Range to recover detail in both bright and shadow areas, essential for mixed-lighting scenes and forensic playback.
- Varifocal 3-8mm Lens with Remote Focus and Zoom: Eliminates costly re-visits by allowing remote adjustment of lens parameters post-deployment, reducing commissioning labor and installation complexity.
- Lightfinder 2.0 and OptimizedIR: Combines advanced low-light sensitivity with infrared illumination to maintain visibility in near-darkness while preserving color reproduction in twilight conditions.
- IK10 Vandal-Resistant Housing: Impact-rated to IK10 standard, providing robust protection against deliberate vandalism and accidental impact in high-risk environments.
- H.265 Video Compression: Reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality, lowering operational costs for continuous recording deployments.
- Two-Way Audio and Edge Analytics: Built-in microphone and speaker enable remote communication, while Object Analytics and VMD (Video Motion Detection) support intelligent alerting and event-driven recording.
- Security-Hardened Firmware: Includes signed firmware, secure boot, and AXIS Edge Vault for protection against unauthorized access and tampering.

The P3247-LV is optimized for facilities where forensic evidence quality and durability are non-negotiable. Forensic WDR combined with Lightfinder 2.0 makes this camera particularly effective in retail loss prevention and transportation hubs where lighting is inconsistent and facial recognition or license plate capture may be required. The varifocal lens and remote focus capability reduce field commissioning time—a significant cost factor in multi-camera deployments.
IK10 rating and compact dome design make it ideal for environments prone to tampering or physical abuse. H.265 compression is essential for organizations managing large camera counts or extended retention periods. PoE compatibility and ONVIF support ensure flexibility in system architecture and future VMS upgrades.
The integrated edge analytics and two-way audio add operational value for interactive monitoring in retail and facility management scenarios.
