Axis P1387-LE 5MP Outdoor AI IR Box Camera

Axis P1387-LE 5MP Outdoor AI IR Box Camera

The Axis P1387-LE is a professional-grade 5MP outdoor box camera engineered for demanding surveillance applications requiring superior image clarity, intelligent analytics, and reliable 24/7 performance. With native 2592x1944 resolution and Lightfinder 2.0 technology, this camera delivers exceptional detail in both daylight and low-light conditions, achieving 0.1 lux color sensitivity. Built-in IR illumination extends visibility in complete darkness, making it ideal for perimeter security, loading docks, parking areas, and other outdoor environments where round-the-clock monitoring is critical.

Key Features

• 5MP resolution (2592x1944) for ultra-detailed video capture
• Lightfinder 2.0 technology for exceptional low-light performance
• Built-in IR illumination for complete darkness visibility
• Forensic WDR for balanced exposure in mixed lighting conditions
• AI-powered analytics with intelligent motion detection and object classification
• Motorized varifocal lens (2.8-13mm) with 112-24° horizontal field of view
• H.264 video compression with Zipstream for efficient bandwidth management
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation and operation
• IP66 weatherproof rating with IK10 vandal resistance
• Operating temperature range -40 to 60°C for extreme climate resilience
• Audio support for two-way communication
• Secure Boot and signed OS for enhanced cybersecurity

Technical Highlights

The P1387-LE operates at 30fps (up to 50/60fps at lower resolutions) and consumes just 8.5W average power with 25.5W maximum draw, making it efficient for large-scale deployments. PoE Class 4 power delivery simplifies network integration while reducing installation costs. The varifocal lens accommodates multiple viewing angles without camera repositioning, essential for adapting to evolving security requirements. Forensic WDR technology preserves details in both bright and dark areas simultaneously, critical for outdoor environments with variable lighting. The camera's 1/2.7" CMOS sensor combined with Lightfinder 2.0 achieves superior color sensitivity even in challenging twilight conditions.

Durability & Environmental Protection

Rated IP66 for complete dust and water protection, the P1387-LE withstands heavy rain, snow, and dust-laden environments. Its IK10 vandal rating resists intentional tampering and impact damage. The -40 to 60°C operating range ensures reliability in arctic facilities, tropical deployments, and temperature-extreme industrial sites. Materials are BFR/CFR and PVC-free, aligning with modern environmental and safety standards.

Applications

Ideal for commercial campuses, industrial facilities, transportation hubs, critical infrastructure protection, and enterprise perimeter security. The combination of AI analytics, optical flexibility, and environmental hardening makes it suited for both security operations centers requiring real-time threat detection and compliance-driven environments demanding forensic-quality evidence.

The P1387-LE represents a balanced investment for organizations requiring flexible outdoor surveillance without compromising image quality. Its motorized varifocal lens eliminates the need for multiple fixed-lens models, reducing inventory complexity. The 0.1 lux color sensitivity via Lightfinder 2.0 significantly outperforms thermal alternatives for applications requiring color forensics.

H.264 with Zipstream compression is proven in enterprise deployments for bandwidth optimization. However, users should verify PoE infrastructure supports Class 4 requirements before deployment. The camera's AI capabilities are optimized for object detection workflows; organizations prioritizing custom analytics should confirm codec compatibility with their VMS platform.
