• Lightfinder 2.0 Technology: Advanced low-light imaging without auxiliary IR
• Forensic Wide Dynamic Range: Balances exposure in mixed lighting conditions to reveal detail in both bright and dark areas
• H.264 Video Compression: Efficient bandwidth and storage utilization
• Audio Support: Integrated audio capabilities for comprehensive surveillance
• PoE Powered: Simplified installation with single Ethernet connection (Class 3, average 4.3W)
• CS Lens Mount: Compatible with standard CS-mount lenses for flexible configurations
• Compact Design: Space-efficient box form factor suitable for discreet mounting

Technical Specifications

Image Sensor: 1/1.8" CMOS sensor delivering 5MP resolution at standard 30fps operation with capability to 50/60fps in progressive scan modes. Power & Connectivity: PoE Class 3 eliminates need for separate power supply; operates reliably at 4.3W average consumption (10.6W maximum). Wide operating temperature range of -10 to 55°C supports diverse indoor environments. Video Processing: Forensic WDR technology combined with Lightfinder 2.0 ensures optimal image quality across variable lighting conditions without reliance on built-in IR. H.264 compression reduces bandwidth demands while maintaining quality. Integration: Barebone configuration accepts CS-mount lenses, allowing selection based on specific surveillance requirements. Audio support enables two-way communication and environmental monitoring.

Applications

The P1387-B is suited for high-detail indoor monitoring including retail loss prevention, office security, banking facilities, and institutional surveillance where image clarity and efficient power consumption are priorities. The barebone design provides flexibility to integrate lens selections matched to specific coverage requirements.

The Axis P1387-B represents a balanced approach to professional indoor surveillance. The combination of Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR addresses the primary challenge in mixed-lighting indoor environments—capturing usable detail across shadow and highlight areas simultaneously. Unlike cameras relying on built-in IR illumination, this design eliminates IR washout and maintains natural color representation.

PoE power delivery at Class 3 consumption is particularly valuable for distributed installations where auxiliary power infrastructure is limited. The barebone configuration trades ease-of-use for flexibility; integrators can select lenses optimized for specific scenes rather than accepting manufacturer defaults.

At 5MP and capable of 50/60fps operation, this camera handles motion-heavy scenes better than many 5MP competitors constrained to 30fps. The CMOS sensor and H.264 compression balance resolution, frame rate, and bandwidth efficiently. Suitable for organizations prioritizing image quality and operational simplicity over outdoor capability or built-in illumination.
