Axis P1245 Mk II 1080p Modular Camera 10-Pack - 02857-021

Axis P1245 Mk II 1080p Modular Camera 10-Pack

The Axis P1245 Mk II is a compact modular IP camera engineered for security integrators and system installers deploying cost-effective indoor surveillance infrastructure at scale. Delivered as a 10-unit bulk pack (SKU: 02857-021), this camera combines a small-footprint main unit with a detachable sensor module to deliver 1080p Full HD video, integrated deep learning analytics, and advanced forensic imaging capabilities in space-constrained environments.

Key Features

• 1080p Full HD Resolution (2 MP) — Captures clear 1920×1080 video at 25/30 fps with support for multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 16:10, 4:3) and scalable resolution down to 640×360
• 111° Horizontal Field of View — Fixed 2.8mm F2.0 lens with M12 mount delivers wide 111° horizontal and 61° vertical coverage; 0.2 m minimum focus distance for close-range forensic detail
• WDR Forensic Capture — Advanced wide dynamic range technology optimized for forensic-grade image quality in mixed lighting and high-contrast indoor environments
• Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) — On-device deep learning compute for real-time object detection and classification, reducing bandwidth consumption and backend server load
• H.265 & H.264 Video Compression — Dual video codec support for flexible streaming and storage optimization across deployments
• PoE+ Power (Class 2) — 802.3af PoE+ delivers both power and data via single Ethernet cable for simplified installation
• Built-in IR Night Vision — Day/night capability with integrated IR illumination (0.2 m range) for 24/7 surveillance
• microSD Local Storage — Edge recording support for resilient, local video backup
• Enterprise Security — Signed firmware, secure boot, and HTTPS encryption protect against unauthorized access and tampering

Technical Specifications

• Connectivity: Wired Ethernet (ONVIF-compatible)
• Operating Temperature: -20° to 45°C (wide temperature tolerance for varied indoor environments)
• Warranty: 5 years
• Form Factor: Modular (detachable sensor for flexible deployment)

Ideal Applications

The P1245 Mk II 10-pack is suited for retail environments, office buildings, warehouses, and other indoor spaces requiring cost-effective bulk deployment with on-device analytics. Its modular design, forensic WDR capabilities, and integrated DLPU make it an efficient choice for integrators building intelligent surveillance systems without premium per-unit costs.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The modular architecture of the P1245 Mk II delivers significant operational advantages for integrators. Separating the sensor module from the main unit reduces shipping and storage footprint—a critical benefit when deploying 10-packs across multiple job sites. The integrated DLPU eliminates the need for external edge AI appliances on many deployments, lowering total system cost of ownership.

H.265 compression, combined with forensic WDR, addresses a common pain point: maintaining crisp, usable detail in high-contrast lighting while managing storage and bandwidth. The 0.2 m IR range is short but adequate for counter-level and document-capture scenarios; for broader area coverage, external IR or supplemental lighting may be required.

The 5-year warranty and security-hardened firmware (signed, secure boot, HTTPS) align with enterprise procurement standards, reducing risk during large-scale deployments. For integrators managing 10+ camera orders, the bulk 10-pack pricing model offers material cost savings without sacrificing individual unit flexibility.
