Product SKU: P3735-PLE
Product Overview
Wide-area monitoring across a campus, transport terminal, or large retail floor often requires covering multiple directions from a single vantage point. The AXIS P3735-PLE addresses this with four individually adjustable 2MP camera heads mounted in one outdoor-ready housing, delivering combined 360° coverage from one installation point, one network cable, one IP address, and typically one VMS licence. Featuring 360° IR illumination with individually controlled LEDs, Forensic WDR, deep learning analytics, AXIS Object Analytics across multiple channels, and Axis Zipstream with H.264/H.265 compression, it provides detailed coverage in daylight, low light, and complete darkness. Built with IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings alongside Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity, this camera is suited to professional outdoor and indoor surveillance where multi-directional coverage and installation efficiency both matter. It is the current replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE.
Key Capabilities
4 x 2MP Channels from One Device
Four independent 2MP camera heads each deliver up to 30 fps, covering separate directions from a single mounting point. This consolidates cabling, switch ports, IP addresses, and VMS licences compared with running four individual cameras across the same area.
Individually Adjustable Varifocal Heads
Each camera head can be aimed and focused independently, allowing installers to tailor coverage for corners, corridor intersections, building entries, courtyards, and multi-zone commercial spaces without repositioning the entire unit.
360° IR with Individually Controlled LEDs
Built-in IR illumination covers the full 360° field with LEDs that can be controlled individually. This helps avoid overexposure on nearby surfaces while maintaining visibility across all active camera views in low light and complete darkness.
Deep Learning Analytics on Multiple Channels
AXIS Object Analytics and metadata streams run across multiple channels simultaneously, supporting detection and classification of people and vehicles. This improves alert relevance and makes recorded footage faster to search during post-incident review.
Rugged Outdoor Construction and Cybersecurity
IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK09 ratings support reliable deployment in exposed outdoor environments. Axis Edge Vault provides hardware-based cybersecurity to protect the camera from unauthorised access at the device level.
Best For
- Multi-Direction Perimeter Coverage: The 4 independently aimed heads allow each view to cover a separate approach, fence line, or building corner from one outdoor-rated housing.
- Transport and Public-Space Monitoring: Wide-area surveillance of platforms, concourses, waiting areas, and station entries benefits from 360° IR coverage and multi-channel analytics running simultaneously.
- Upgrading from P3727-PLE Installations: Sites currently running AXIS P3727-PLE cameras can replace them with the P3735-PLE, gaining improved deep learning analytics, Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity, and updated compression support.
- Installations Where Licensing Efficiency Matters: Using one IP address and typically one VMS licence to cover four directions is a practical advantage on larger projects where per-channel licensing adds up quickly.
Why Choose the AXIS P3735-PLE
The AXIS P3735-PLE stands apart from single-sensor outdoor cameras by delivering 4 individually adjustable 2MP channels from one device, each running at up to 30 fps with simultaneous AXIS Object Analytics and metadata streams. A standard fixed-lens camera covers one direction and requires separate cabling, a separate IP address, and a separate VMS licence for each view. The P3735-PLE consolidates this into a single installation, reducing both the physical footprint and the ongoing management overhead across large sites. With 360° IR illumination using individually controlled LEDs, Forensic WDR for high-contrast scenes, Zipstream to manage multi-channel storage loads, and Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity, this camera is built for professional deployments at campuses, transport hubs, retail centres, and large commercial or industrial sites. It is available through Security Wholesalers as a current replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE.
Buyer Decision Tips
PoE Power Budget: The AXIS P3735-PLE requires IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+, not standard PoE. With IR illumination active, typical draw is 12.20W and maximum draw is 23.15W. Confirm that the switch or injector feeding this camera supports PoE+ and that the port power budget is sufficient before installation. A standard 802.3af PoE port will not supply enough power for full operation.
VMS Compatibility and Channel Licensing: The P3735-PLE presents as a multi-channel camera device. Some VMS platforms licence each channel individually, which can change the cost model compared with a single-channel camera. Confirm how your chosen VMS counts and licences channels for multi-sensor cameras before committing to a large-scale deployment with this model.

Ideal Use Cases
Transport Terminals and Platforms
Platforms, concourses, ticketing areas, and waiting zones benefit from 360° multidirectional coverage and simultaneous AXIS Object Analytics on multiple channels, supporting fast event detection across high foot-traffic areas from a single mounted device.
Retail Centres and Shopping Precincts
Entrances, corridor intersections, food courts, and escalator banks can be covered by one P3735-PLE installation, with each of the 4 camera heads aimed at a different zone and deep learning analytics helping to detect and classify movement.
School and University Campuses
Courtyards, building entries, and pedestrian paths benefit from the varifocal head adjustment and 360° IR illumination, allowing each camera head to be tailored to a specific pathway or access point while maintaining around-the-clock visibility.
Building Perimeters and Outdoor Corners
With IP67 weather protection, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, and IK09 vandal resistance, the P3735-PLE handles exposed perimeter locations where a single unit needs to cover multiple external approaches, car park entries, or access gates.
Warehouses and Industrial Yards
Loading docks, internal intersections, and storage yard entries can be covered with individually adjusted camera heads, and Zipstream compression helps manage the storage load generated by 4 simultaneous video channels on the NVR.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to cover multiple directions or a full 360° view from one mounting point, need 360° IR for around-the-clock outdoor use, require AXIS Object Analytics on multiple channels simultaneously, and want hardware-based cybersecurity via Axis Edge Vault in a single outdoor-rated enclosure.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a single high-resolution wide-angle view rather than 4 adjustable directional views, you need long-range zoom or PTZ capability, your PoE switch does not support IEEE 802.3at Type 2 PoE+ and cannot be upgraded, or your VMS licences each sensor channel individually and the per-channel cost removes the installation efficiency benefit.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS P3735-PLE directly replace the P3727-PLE?
Yes, the AXIS P3735-PLE is the current replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE. It maintains the same multidirectional 4-sensor approach while adding deep learning analytics, AXIS Object Analytics across multiple channels, Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity, and updated H.265 compression with Zipstream, making it suitable for upgrade projects at existing P3727-series installations. - Does the AXIS P3735-PLE require PoE+ or will standard PoE work?
The P3735-PLE requires IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+, not standard 802.3af PoE. With IR illumination active, typical power draw is 12.20W and maximum draw reaches 23.15W. A standard PoE switch port rated at 15.4W cannot supply the maximum power required. Confirm that each port feeding this camera supports PoE+ before installation. - How are the 4 camera channels presented to a VMS or recorder?
The AXIS P3735-PLE connects via a single IP address and network cable, but presents its 4 channels to the VMS individually. How those channels are licenced depends on the VMS platform being used. Some systems licence each channel separately, which affects the total licence cost for large deployments. Confirm channel licencing behaviour with your VMS vendor before ordering. - Can AXIS Object Analytics run on all 4 channels at the same time?
Yes, the AXIS P3735-PLE supports AXIS Object Analytics and metadata streams across multiple channels simultaneously. This allows people and vehicle detection and classification to run on each active camera view at the same time, improving alert accuracy and making post-incident footage search faster across all monitored directions. - Is the P3735-PLE suitable for installation in exposed outdoor environments?
Yes. The camera carries IP66 and IP67 weather protection ratings, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, and an IK09 vandal resistance rating. The housing uses aluminium and plastic construction with a polycarbonate hard-coated dome. This makes it suitable for building perimeters, car parks, transport platforms, outdoor courtyards, and other exposed commercial or public-space locations. The P3735-PLE is part of the Security Wholesalers range for professional installers working on these types of sites. - How does the 360° IR illumination work across 4 camera heads?
The P3735-PLE uses built-in IR LEDs arranged to provide 360° illumination around the full camera housing. The LEDs are individually controlled, which helps balance illumination across all active camera views and reduce reflection or overexposure on nearby surfaces. This supports clear footage in low light and complete darkness across all 4 channels simultaneously. - Can the camera heads be repositioned after installation?
Yes, the P3735-PLE features individually adjustable varifocal camera heads that can each be aimed and focused in a different direction. This means the camera can be physically oriented during installation to suit the site layout, and each head can be repositioned later if coverage requirements change, without replacing the unit or running additional cabling.
