Axis P3735-PLE replaces P3727 4x 2MP Panoramic Camera, 360deg IR, IP67, IK09

Product SKU: P3735-PLE

Product Overview

The AXIS P3735-PLE is a versatile 4 x 2MP multidirectional panoramic camera designed to provide wide-area surveillance from a single outdoor-ready device. It features four individually adjustable camera heads, each delivering 2MP video at up to 30 fps, allowing installers to monitor multiple directions while using one camera, one network cable, one IP address, and typically one VMS licence. With 360° IR illumination, individually controlled LEDs, Forensic WDR, Axis Zipstream, H.264/H.265 compression, deep learning analytics, IP66/IP67 weather protection, IK09 vandal resistance, and Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity, this camera is ideal for retail, schools, transport areas, warehouses, campuses, car parks, building perimeters, and large commercial sites.

Why Choose the AXIS P3735-PLE

The AXIS P3735-PLE is ideal for customers upgrading from older multidirectional Axis camera installations such as the P3727 series or for sites needing flexible multi-angle coverage without installing several separate cameras. Its four 2MP camera heads can be positioned individually to suit different site layouts, while 360° IR illumination supports clear monitoring in low light or complete darkness. Deep learning analytics allow the camera to detect and classify people and vehicles, helping operators reduce irrelevant alerts, search recorded footage faster, and improve situational awareness across large or complex surveillance areas.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 4 x 2MP Multidirectional Imaging: The AXIS P3735-PLE provides four 2MP channels, each capable of delivering smooth video at up to 30 fps. This gives users wide-area coverage from one device while still allowing each view to focus on a different direction, entry point, corridor, or activity zone.

• 360° Coverage from One Installation Point: The four adjustable camera heads can be positioned to provide complete 360° surveillance or customised directional views. This makes the camera useful for complex spaces where multiple areas need to be monitored without the cost and installation effort of several separate cameras.

• 360° IR with Individually Controlled LEDs: Built-in IR illumination supports clear, reflection-free footage in low light or complete darkness. Individually controlled LEDs help optimise illumination across the monitored scene, improving night-time visibility for outdoor entrances, car parks, public areas, walkways, and building perimeters.

• Forensic WDR: Forensic WDR helps preserve usable detail in scenes where bright and dark areas appear at the same time. This is especially useful near entrances, windows, loading bays, car park access points, and outdoor areas affected by headlights, shadows, sunlight, and changing weather conditions.

• Deep Learning Analytics: The AXIS P3735-PLE supports advanced analytics based on deep learning, including metadata and AXIS Object Analytics streams on multiple channels. This helps detect and classify people and vehicles, improving event filtering and making forensic review more efficient for security teams.

• Flexible Mounting Options: The camera supports different installation methods, including discreet recessed mounting and ceiling mounting for complete 360° coverage. This flexibility allows installers to adapt the camera to retail, education, transport, commercial, warehouse, and public-space surveillance layouts.

• Zipstream with H.264 and H.265: Axis Zipstream works with H.264 and H.265 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving important image detail. This is especially valuable for multidirectional cameras, where several video channels can otherwise increase storage and network load.

• Rugged and Secure Construction: With IP66/IP67 weather protection, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, IK09 vandal resistance, secure operating features, and Axis Edge Vault, the camera is suitable for demanding professional surveillance installations where durability and cybersecurity are important.

Specifications Summary

Ideal Use Cases

• Retail and Shopping Centres – Suitable for entrances, corridors, escalators, shop fronts, food courts, service counters, and shared public areas where several directions need to be monitored from one device.
• Schools and Campuses – Ideal for courtyards, hallways, building entries, covered outdoor areas, common spaces, and pedestrian pathways requiring wide coverage and intelligent event detection.
• Transport Areas – Useful for platforms, terminals, concourses, ticketing zones, waiting areas, and station entrances where multidirectional monitoring can improve situational awareness.
• Warehouses and Industrial Sites – A strong option for loading docks, storage zones, internal intersections, large open areas, and external yards requiring flexible coverage from one installation point.
• Building Perimeters and Corners – Suitable for exterior corners, access paths, car park entries, gated areas, and perimeter zones where 360° IR and weather-resistant construction support around-the-clock monitoring.

Understanding the Multidirectional Camera System

The AXIS P3735-PLE uses four individually adjustable camera heads instead of one fisheye lens. This allows installers to aim each view in a different direction, giving more flexible coverage for corners, corridors, entrances, open areas, and multi-directional spaces. Compared with a single fixed camera, this multidirectional design can cover several scenes at once while still allowing each channel to be positioned for the required view.

Tip:
Use the four camera heads to cover separate directions when overall situational awareness is the priority. Group two or more views toward one important area when you want both broader context and a more focused view of a doorway, gate, counter, loading dock, or vehicle entry point.

FAQs

1. What is the AXIS P3735-PLE best suited for?
   The AXIS P3735-PLE is best suited for wide-area surveillance where several directions need to be covered from one installation point. It is ideal for retail stores, shopping centres, warehouses, schools, transport areas, commercial buildings, corridors, courtyards, and building perimeters where installing several individual cameras would add unnecessary cabling, hardware, licensing, and maintenance.
2. Does the AXIS P3735-PLE replace the AXIS P3727 series?
   The AXIS P3735-PLE is commonly used as a newer replacement option for AXIS P3727-style multidirectional camera installations. It offers four 2MP channels, 360° IR illumination, improved analytics support based on deep learning, Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity, and rugged IP66/IP67 and IK09-rated construction, making it suitable for modern upgrade projects.
3. Does the AXIS P3735-PLE have built-in IR?
   Yes, the AXIS P3735-PLE includes 360° IR illumination with individually controlled LEDs. This helps deliver clear, reflection-free footage in low light or complete darkness. It is useful for entrances, outdoor walkways, car parks, warehouses, public spaces, and other areas where reliable night-time monitoring is required.
4. Does this camera support AI analytics?
   Yes, the AXIS P3735-PLE supports advanced analytics based on deep learning. It can run metadata and AXIS Object Analytics streams on multiple channels, allowing detection and classification of people and vehicles. This helps improve alert relevance, reduce unnecessary motion events, and make recorded footage easier to search during investigations.
5. Is the AXIS P3735-PLE suitable for outdoor use?
   Yes, the AXIS P3735-PLE is designed for outdoor use with IP66/IP67 weather protection, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, and IK09 vandal resistance. This makes it suitable for exposed commercial, public-space, industrial, education, and perimeter applications where weather, dust, water, and impact protection are important.
6. What is the benefit of using one multidirectional camera instead of multiple separate cameras?
   A multidirectional camera can reduce installation complexity because it provides several camera views from one device. This can reduce cabling, switch ports, mounting hardware, IP addresses, and VMS licensing compared with installing multiple separate cameras. It also makes maintenance easier because several views are managed from a single physical camera location.
