Axis P3715-PLVE Dual-Channel Dome Camera

Axis Communications P3715-PLVE Overview

The Axis P3715-PLVE (01970-001) is a dual-channel multidirectional dome camera offering two independent 2MP imaging streams at 30 fps. Its distinctive peanut-shaped dome design enables flexible, cost-effective installation with simultaneous coverage of two separate scenes, making it ideal for applications requiring wide-angle situational awareness or targeted zoomed monitoring without multiple fixed installations. Each varifocal camera head operates independently, allowing operators to capture wide-angle and telephoto views from a single mounting point.

Axis P3715-PLVE Key Features

• Dual 2MP Channels at 30 fps: Two independent 2MP image sensors deliver full-motion video at 30 frames per second per channel, providing simultaneous monitoring of two distinct scenes or directions from a single compact form factor.
• Individual Varifocal Camera Heads: Each of the two camera heads features independent varifocal lens control, enabling remote zoom and focus adjustment for precise framing of wide-angle or telephoto scenes without requiring installation adjustments or field service visits.
• Axis Lightfinder Technology: Advanced low-light imaging delivers true color detail in poor lighting conditions, dramatically reducing reliance on infrared and improving forensic video quality in dimly lit environments.
• Forensic WDR: Wide Dynamic Range processing optimizes image detail in scenes with extreme lighting contrasts—such as backlit areas or mixed indoor/outdoor views—ensuring visibility across challenging light variations within a single frame.
• Zipstream Compression with H.264: Intelligent bitrate optimization significantly reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements while maintaining video quality, lowering operational costs for bandwidth-constrained or large-scale deployments.
• Remote Zoom and Focus: Network-based remote lens control enables fast and accurate installation without repeated on-site adjustments; operators can fine-tune framing, focus depth, and zoom level from the monitoring station or management interface.
• Peanut-Shaped Dome Design: The unique compact form factor accommodates two camera heads in minimal space, reducing installation footprint and material costs compared to deploying two separate single-channel cameras.
• Independent Head Control: Each camera head can be controlled, recorded, and monitored separately, allowing flexible scene composition—such as one head capturing entrance approach and the second monitoring door access—without wasted coverage overlap.

Axis P3715-PLVE Integration & Compatibility

The P3715-PLVE integrates with ONVIF-compliant video management systems and supports H.264 video compression, enabling broad compatibility with industry-standard NVRs, VMS platforms, and IP surveillance infrastructure. Dual independent video streams allow flexible stream selection, recording, and event triggering within supported management software. Network connectivity and remote lens control provide seamless integration into distributed surveillance networks with centralized or edge-based management architectures.
