Product SKU: P3735-PLE
Product Overview
Wide-area monitoring across a campus courtyard, transport concourse, or large retail floor typically demands multiple camera positions, individual cable runs, and separate network addresses for each view. The AXIS P3735-PLE addresses this directly by housing 4 independently adjustable varifocal camera heads in a single outdoor-rated enclosure, producing combined 360° multidirectional coverage via one network cable, one IP address, and typically one VMS licence connection. Featuring 360° IR illumination with individually controlled LEDs, Forensic WDR, Lightfinder, and a deep learning processing unit running AXIS Object Analytics across multiple channels simultaneously, it maintains detailed imagery across all 4 views in daylight, low light, and complete darkness. Built to IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK09 standards with Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity, the P3735-PLE is the confirmed current replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE and is suited to professional installations where coverage efficiency, analytics capability, and outdoor durability all need to be addressed from a single mounting point.
Key Capabilities
4 x 2MP Channels from a Single Mounting Point
Four independent 2MP camera heads each deliver up to 30 fps and cover separate directions from one enclosure. This consolidates four sets of cabling, switch ports, IP addresses, and VMS licence entries into a single network connection, directly reducing infrastructure overhead on large-scale deployments.
Individually Adjustable Varifocal Camera Heads
Each of the 4 camera heads can be independently aimed and focused to cover a different direction, zone, or approach angle. Installers can tailor coverage for building corners, corridor intersections, or multi-zone outdoor spaces during commissioning without relocating the entire housing.
360° IR with Individually Controlled LEDs
Built-in IR LEDs are arranged around the full housing perimeter and controlled individually rather than as a single output. This allows the camera to balance illumination across all active views, avoiding overexposure on nearby walls or surfaces while maintaining usable footage in complete darkness across all 4 channels.
Deep Learning Analytics Across Multiple Channels
AXIS Object Analytics and scene metadata streams operate simultaneously across multiple camera channels, supporting people and vehicle detection in each active direction at the same time. This accelerates post-incident footage searches and improves alert relevance across all monitored zones without requiring manual per-channel review.
IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, IK09 and Axis Edge Vault
Triple weather certification and IK09 vandal resistance support deployment at exposed building perimeters, transport platforms, and industrial yards. Axis Edge Vault adds hardware-based cybersecurity, protecting the device from unauthorised access at the device level, which is increasingly a requirement on large commercial and public-sector projects.
Best For
- Multi-Direction Outdoor Coverage from One Position: The 4 independently aimed varifocal heads allow each view to be pointed at a separate building corner, access gate, or fence line approach from a single IP66/IP67-rated outdoor housing, reducing the number of installation positions required.
- Transport Terminals and High-Traffic Public Spaces: Platforms, concourses, ticketing halls, and waiting areas benefit from 360° IR illumination and AXIS Object Analytics running simultaneously across multiple channels, supporting event detection in busy environments from one device.
- Direct Replacement for AXIS P3727-PLE Installations: Sites currently running the P3727-PLE can replace it with the P3735-PLE without restructuring cabling or mounting positions, gaining deep learning analytics, Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity, and H.265 Zipstream compression in the process.
- Large Projects Where Per-Channel Licensing Costs Are a Factor: Presenting 4 video directions through one IP address and typically one VMS licence entry is a meaningful efficiency advantage on large-scale deployments where per-channel VMS costs accumulate quickly across many camera positions.
Why Choose the AXIS P3735-PLE
The AXIS P3735-PLE delivers four-direction multidirectional coverage that a single conventional outdoor camera cannot replicate: 4 x 2MP channels at up to 30 fps, each independently aimed and focused, with AXIS Object Analytics and metadata streams running simultaneously across multiple views, 360° IR illumination with individually controlled LEDs, Forensic WDR, and Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity. Deploying 4 separate fixed cameras across the same coverage area requires 4 cabling runs, 4 switch ports, 4 IP addresses, and 4 VMS licence entries. The P3735-PLE consolidates all of that into one enclosure, one cable, and one network address, reducing the physical infrastructure footprint and ongoing management overhead across commercial, campus, and public-space installations. Zipstream compression with H.264 and H.265 support manages the storage load generated by 4 simultaneous video channels. Offered through Security Wholesalers as the confirmed replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE, the P3735-PLE is purpose-built for professional projects where coverage efficiency, analytics depth, and outdoor durability need to be resolved from a single mounting point.
Buyer Decision Tips
PoE Power Budget: The AXIS P3735-PLE requires IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+, not standard 802.3af PoE. With IR illumination active, typical draw is 12.20W and maximum draw reaches 23.15W. A standard PoE port rated at 15.4W cannot reliably supply full power to this camera. Confirm that every switch port or midspan injector connected to the P3735-PLE supports PoE+ and that the per-port power budget accommodates the 23.15W maximum draw before installation begins.
VMS Channel Licensing: The P3735-PLE connects via one IP address but presents 4 individual video channels to the VMS, one per camera head. Some platforms licence each channel separately regardless of whether they originate from a single device. This directly affects the total project cost on large deployments. Confirm how your chosen VMS counts and licences channels for multi-sensor devices before specifying this camera across a significant number of positions.

Ideal Use Cases
Transport Terminals and Station Platforms
Platforms, concourses, ticketing halls, and passenger waiting areas can be monitored from a single overhead mount, with AXIS Object Analytics running simultaneously across multiple channels to support people and vehicle detection across large, high-traffic zones from one installation point.
Retail Centres and Shopping Precincts
Entrances, aisle intersections, food courts, and escalator landings can each be assigned one of the 4 independently aimed camera heads. A single P3735-PLE installation can replace what would otherwise require 4 separate camera positions with individual cabling runs and network connections.
School and University Campuses
Outdoor courtyards, pedestrian pathways, and building entry points benefit from individually adjusted varifocal heads and 360° IR illumination, enabling multi-angle coverage of outdoor campus areas from a minimal number of physically installed devices.
Building Perimeters and Outdoor Access Points
IP67 weather protection, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, and IK09 vandal resistance support deployment at exposed perimeter locations where a single enclosure needs to monitor multiple external approaches, access gates, or car park entries continuously through daylight and darkness.
Warehouses and Industrial Facilities
Internal intersections, loading dock entries, and storage yard access points can be covered with independently adjusted camera heads, while Zipstream compression with H.265 support manages the storage load generated by 4 simultaneous video channels feeding connected recording infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to monitor 4 separate directions or a full 360° field from one mounting point, require 360° IR for continuous outdoor night operation, want AXIS Object Analytics running simultaneously across multiple channels, and need Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity in a single IP66/IP67/IK09-rated enclosure that connects via one cable and one IP address.
- Choose a different model if: Your site requires a single high-resolution wide-angle view rather than 4 individually aimed directional channels, you need long-range optical zoom or motorised PTZ tracking capability, your PoE infrastructure does not support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and cannot be upgraded, or your VMS licences each sensor channel individually and removes the installation efficiency advantage this camera is designed to deliver.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS P3735-PLE directly replace the AXIS P3727-PLE?
Yes. The P3735-PLE is the confirmed current replacement for the AXIS P3727-PLE. It retains the same 4-sensor multidirectional format while adding a deep learning processing unit, AXIS Object Analytics across multiple channels simultaneously, Axis Edge Vault hardware cybersecurity, and H.265 Zipstream compression. Existing P3727-PLE mounting positions and cabling infrastructure can be reused without modification.
- Will a standard PoE switch power the AXIS P3735-PLE?
No. The P3735-PLE requires IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+. With IR illumination active, typical draw is 12.20W and maximum draw reaches 23.15W. A standard 802.3af PoE port is rated at 15.4W maximum and cannot reliably supply peak power to this camera. Every switch port or midspan injector connected to the P3735-PLE must be confirmed as PoE+ capable before installation starts.
- How does the P3735-PLE appear on the network and in a VMS?
The camera presents via a single network cable and one IP address. Within the VMS, however, it delivers 4 individual video channels, one per camera head. How those channels are counted and licenced depends entirely on the VMS platform. Some systems licence each channel separately regardless of the device count. This should be confirmed with your VMS vendor before ordering across a large project, as the licensing model directly affects total deployment cost.
- Can AXIS Object Analytics run on all 4 camera channels simultaneously?
Yes. The P3735-PLE includes an onboard deep learning processing unit that allows AXIS Object Analytics and metadata streams to operate across multiple channels at the same time. People and vehicle detection and classification can run on each active camera view concurrently, improving alert relevance across all monitored directions and enabling faster post-incident footage searches without manual per-channel review.
- Is the AXIS P3735-PLE suitable for permanent outdoor installation in exposed locations?
Yes. The camera carries IP66 and IP67 weather protection ratings, NEMA 4X environmental resistance, and an IK09 vandal resistance rating. The enclosure uses aluminium and plastic construction with a polycarbonate hard-coated dome. This combination supports installation at exposed building perimeters, transport platforms, outdoor car parks, and industrial yards. The AXIS P3735-PLE is available through Security Wholesalers for professional installers working on commercial and public-space projects requiring outdoor-rated multidirectional coverage.
- How does the 360° IR illumination work across 4 separate camera views?
Built-in IR LEDs are distributed around the full perimeter of the housing to provide 360° illumination coverage. The LEDs are individually controlled rather than functioning as a single fixed output. This allows the camera to balance illumination levels across all 4 active camera views independently, reducing the risk of overexposure on nearby surfaces and maintaining usable footage in complete darkness across all channels at the same time.
- Can individual camera heads be repositioned after the unit is installed?
Yes. Each of the 4 varifocal camera heads can be independently aimed and refocused after the unit is mounted. If coverage requirements change due to site layout changes or new access points, individual heads can be repositioned without removing the entire housing, running additional cabling, or commissioning additional camera positions. This makes the P3735-PLE practical for environments where monitoring priorities may evolve over time.
