Axis 02758-001 Dual-Lens 8MP Outdoor AI Box Camera
Overview
The Axis 02758-001 (P1518-E) is a dual-sensor outdoor box camera pairing an 8MP wide-angle sensor with a dedicated 2MP telephoto lens in a single mount-point installation. This configuration solves the classic surveillance trade-off: you get synchronized wide perimeter context plus forensic-grade facial/license-plate detail from the same vantage point, eliminating the need to deploy separate overview and closeup cameras at entrance gates, loading docks, or controlled-access perimeters.
Key Specifications
- Dual imaging path: 8MP 1/1.2" sensor at up to 30 fps (wide-angle, 114°–46° field of view) and 2MP 1/2.8" sensor at up to 60 fps (telephoto, 29°–11° field of view). The 2MP stream runs at 60 fps to eliminate motion blur on fast-moving subjects when zoomed.
- Lightfinder 2.0 + Forensic WDR: Color reproduction holds down to 0.05 lux @ F1.5 on the wide sensor; Forensic WDR balances blown highlights (sun-facing entrances) against dark shadows (covered loading areas) without the halo artifacts that compromise license-plate OCR. Meaningful for dawn/dusk shift operations.
- IP66/IP67 + IK10 + NEMA 4X: Withstands direct rain, dust ingress, and hurricane-force winds. Not submersible, but rated for coastal salt-air and high-pressure wash-down environments.
- PoE+ (802.3at): Draws under 13W typical; standard PoE switch support with no separate injector needed.
- H.265/H.264/Zipstream: H.265 cuts bandwidth roughly 50% versus H.264 at identical bitrate—critical for dual-stream simultaneous recording on bandwidth-constrained WAN links or when archiving months of 24/7 footage.
- Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) + Object Analytics: On-camera AI detects, classifies, and counts humans and vehicles in real time. Reduces false-alarm load on your VMS and enables proactive event rules (loitering, crowd density, wrong-way detection) without backend GPU overhead.
- Axis Edge Vault: Hardware-based cryptographic key storage with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification. Protects signed firmware and device identity against tampering.
- Remote zoom and autofocus: Adjust varifocal range and focus via web interface post-install—no scaffold needed to fine-tune close-up sensor focus distance (minimum 2.5 m on telephoto).
Compatibility
The 02758-001 is a standalone IP camera supporting ONVIF Profile S/T/G, so it integrates with any ONVIF-compliant VMS (Milestone Husky, Genetec, AXIS Camera Station, etc.). Wall and rack mounts included—standard M4 threaded boss for third-party arms.
Installation Notes
Minimum focus distance for the 29 mm telephoto is 2.5 m (8.2 ft); if your scene has subjects closer than that (e.g., facial recognition at a turnstile), you'll need the wide 5.9 mm sensor. Both lenses support P-iris control and remote focus adjustment via the camera web UI, so you can dial in framing and sharpness without a ladder after mounting. Requires PoE+ injector or compatible switch; verify your switch's per-port budget before daisy-chaining multiple 02758-001 units on the same circuit.
