Axis Communications P1275 Mk II Overview
The Axis Communications P1275 Mk II (MPN: 02859-001) is a modular varifocal dome camera engineered for flexible indoor surveillance deployments. This compact unit features a detachable sensor module with an 8-meter cable, enabling straightforward wall and ceiling installation without compromising positioning freedom. The modular design separates the main processing unit from the dome sensor, simplifying mounting and maintenance for integrators.
Axis P1275 Mk II Key Features
- 1080p Resolution with Multi-Stream Capability: Delivers 1920×1080 Full HD video at up to 25/30 fps (50/60 Hz) in H.264 and H.265, with support for Motion JPEG streams and individually configurable multi-view cropping for dual output areas.
- Varifocal Lens with Wide Field of View: M12-mount varifocal lens (2.8–6.0mm, F2.0) provides horizontal field of view from 99° to 53° and vertical coverage from 53° to 30°, enabling adjustment for diverse scene requirements with minimum focus distance of 0.1m (0.33 ft).
- WDR Forensic Capture: Wide Dynamic Range technology optimizes image detail in challenging lighting conditions, supporting forensic-quality video capture in mixed illumination environments.
- Axis Zipstream Technology: Integrated H.264 and H.265 bitrate optimization reduces bandwidth consumption and storage demands without sacrificing image quality, critical for bandwidth-constrained deployments.
- Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU): Embedded CV25 System-on-Chip with DLPU compute capabilities enables on-camera analytics and object detection without requiring external processing infrastructure.
- Manual Pan/Tilt/Rotate Control: Full 360° pan, 0–90° tilt, and 360° rotation (including corridor mode at 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) provide flexible directional positioning post-installation.
- PoE Power Simplicity: 802.3af PoE-powered main unit eliminates separate power supplies and reduces cabling complexity at installation sites.
- Detachable 8-Meter Cable Architecture: Modular sensor unit with built-in connector and detachable 8-meter (26-foot) cable simplifies field replacement, maintenance, and repositioning.
- Edge Storage via microSD: Local video recording capability using microSD cards provides failsafe recording independent of network infrastructure.
- Advanced Image Settings: Per-stream control of saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness, white balance, exposure mode, frame rate, and bandwidth management (VBR/ABR/MBR); dynamic text and image overlay, polygon privacy masking, and image rotation support.
- Low-Light Performance: Minimum illumination of 0.2 lux at 50 IRE with F2.0 aperture; configurable shutter speed range 1/16500 to 1/5 seconds; signal-to-noise ratio >55 dB.
- Comprehensive Codec Support: H.264 (Baseline, Main, High Profile), H.265 (Main Profile), and Motion JPEG compression options with controllable frame rate and bandwidth adaptation across all resolutions.
