AI & Analytics
The AXIS P3278-LV features an onboard deep learning processing unit, allowing advanced analytics to run directly on the camera without relying on server-side processing.
Supported analytics include:
-
Human detection and classification
-
Object tracking
-
Occupancy and people counting
-
Rule-based event triggers
This reduces NVR load, saves bandwidth, and enables faster event response.
Cybersecurity
Axis’s Edge Vault hardware platform provides:
-
Secure boot and signed firmware
-
Protected cryptographic key storage
