Product Overview
For installations demanding long-range outdoor coverage with full flexibility over optics, the AXIS P1377-LE is a 5MP fixed bullet network camera built around a CS-mount design that accepts interchangeable lenses to suit a wide range of field-of-view requirements. Powered by the Axis ARTPEC-8 SoC, it delivers 30fps at full 5MP resolution across all lighting conditions, combining Lightfinder 2.0 for colour-accurate low-light imaging with OptimizedIR reaching up to 80 metres and Forensic WDR for high-contrast scenes. Equipped with H.265 Zipstream compression, AXIS Object Analytics, and TPM-based cybersecurity, it is engineered for professional-grade deployments at perimeters, industrial facilities, ports, and critical infrastructure sites. Built with IP66/IP67 weather sealing, IK10 impact resistance, and NEMA 4X corrosion protection, the P1377-LE operates reliably from -40°C to +60°C. Note: this model ships without a lens and has been superseded by the AXIS P1387-LE.
Key Capabilities
Lightfinder 2.0 Low-Light Imaging
Lightfinder 2.0 maintains true-colour image rendering in near-darkness conditions, avoiding the monochrome shift common in standard cameras. This is especially valuable at perimeter fence lines, gate entries, and unlit industrial yards where colour detail aids identification after dark.
OptimizedIR to 80 Metres
The built-in OptimizedIR system delivers even IR illumination to 80 metres, automatically adjusting intensity to prevent overexposure of close subjects while maintaining detail at range. This suits long driveway approaches, loading dock entries, and wide outdoor corridors.
Forensic WDR for High-Contrast Scenes
Forensic WDR handles simultaneous bright and dark areas within the same frame, retaining usable detail in both zones. This is critical at entry points where vehicles move between sunlight and shadow, or where artificial lighting creates uneven exposure.
CS-Mount Lens Flexibility
The CS-mount design allows operators to specify and fit the lens that best matches the coverage angle required for each deployment. This makes the P1377-LE particularly suited to projects where exact focal length selection is part of the site survey and system design process.
H.265 Zipstream Compression
Axis Zipstream dynamically reduces bitrate by focusing compression on areas of low activity while preserving full detail where motion or forensic data is present. This directly reduces storage requirements and network load on large multi-camera deployments.
NEMA 4X / IP66 / IK10 Hardened Housing
Triple-rated with NEMA 4X corrosion resistance, IP66/IP67 weather sealing, and IK10 vandal resistance, the P1377-LE withstands salt-air coastal environments, heavy rain, industrial washdown areas, and physical interference. Its operating range of -40°C to +60°C covers extreme climates.
Best For
- Industrial Perimeter Monitoring: The NEMA 4X and IP66/IP67 ratings combined with 80-metre OptimizedIR make this camera well matched to factory perimeters, substations, and chemical facility fence lines operating in harsh outdoor conditions.
- Critical Infrastructure Sites: AXIS Object Analytics and TPM-based cybersecurity support deployments at power plants, water treatment facilities, and transport hubs where both detection accuracy and network security are non-negotiable.
- Lens-Specified System Designs: Projects where site surveyors have determined an exact focal length requirement benefit from the CS-mount flexibility, allowing the correct optic to be paired without compromising on camera body performance.
- Coastal and Marine Environments: NEMA 4X corrosion protection makes the P1377-LE suitable for port facilities, marina infrastructure, and coastal monitoring positions exposed to salt-laden air and high humidity.
Why Choose the AXIS P1377-LE
The AXIS P1377-LE stands apart from standard outdoor bullet cameras through its combination of the ARTPEC-8 processor, Lightfinder 2.0, and Forensic WDR operating simultaneously at 5MP and 30fps. A lower-specification camera may deliver adequate daytime resolution but will struggle to maintain colour fidelity and sharpness at night or in mixed-light industrial environments. The CS-mount design adds a level of deployment precision that fixed-lens cameras cannot match, making the P1377-LE the choice for integrators who need the lens specification to be part of the system design rather than an afterthought. The NEMA 4X rating goes beyond standard IP67 to address corrosion in chemically aggressive or coastal environments. Available through Security Wholesalers, the P1377-LE suits installers who require a professionally engineered, long-service outdoor bullet camera on projects where performance margins cannot be compromised.
Buyer Decision Tips
No Lens Included: The P1377-LE ships without a lens. A compatible CS-mount lens must be sourced separately before the camera can be commissioned. Confirm your required field of view and working distance during site survey so the correct focal length can be ordered alongside the camera body. This is standard practice for professional installations but is easy to overlook on initial procurement.
Superseded Model: The AXIS P1377-LE has been replaced by the AXIS P1387-LE. If your project is in the planning or quoting stage, review the P1387-LE specification before committing. If you are maintaining an existing P1377-LE installation or have a confirmed procurement requirement for this model, stock availability should be confirmed prior to ordering.

Ideal Use Cases
Power Plants and Substations
The combination of NEMA 4X corrosion resistance, TPM-based cybersecurity, and AXIS Object Analytics supports the strict physical and network security requirements of energy infrastructure sites with minimal tolerance for false detection or system compromise.
Perimeter Fence Lines and Gate Entries
OptimizedIR to 80 metres and Lightfinder 2.0 keep long fence-line approaches visible after dark in colour, while the CS-mount allows the correct focal length to be matched to the monitored corridor width and stand-off distance.
Port and Marine Facilities
NEMA 4X certification specifically addresses corrosion from salt air and chemical exposure, making the P1377-LE a practical choice for wharves, container terminals, and marina infrastructure where standard IP-rated housings deteriorate prematurely.
Urban Traffic and Pedestrian Monitoring
Forensic WDR manages the high contrast between headlight glare, streetlighting, and shadow that characterises urban night-time scenes, preserving legible detail across the full frame at 5MP resolution and 30fps.
Warehouses and Logistics Hubs
H.265 Zipstream compression reduces the storage and bandwidth load across large warehouse deployments with many cameras, while AXIS Object Analytics supports event-based recording and reduces reliance on continuous full-stream recording.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are maintaining or expanding an existing AXIS P1377-LE installation and require a matching camera body, or if your project specifically requires a CS-mount bullet camera with Lightfinder 2.0, OptimizedIR to 80 metres, and NEMA 4X corrosion protection.
- Choose a different model if: Your project is new and not constrained to this specific model. The P1377-LE has been superseded and the replacement model should be evaluated for current deployments. Additionally, if you require a lens-included solution ready for immediate commissioning, a bullet camera with a fixed or varifocal lens pre-fitted will reduce installation complexity and procurement steps.
FAQs
- Does the AXIS P1377-LE come with a lens?
No. The P1377-LE uses a CS-mount and ships without a lens. A compatible CS-mount lens must be selected and ordered separately. The correct focal length should be determined during site survey based on the required field of view, working distance, and scene width at the target monitoring location.
- What does NEMA 4X add beyond standard IP66/IP67 weatherproofing?
IP66/IP67 addresses water and dust ingress. NEMA 4X additionally certifies resistance to corrosive chemicals and salt-laden environments. For installations at coastal sites, ports, chemical plants, or industrial facilities with airborne corrosives, NEMA 4X provides a meaningfully higher level of housing protection than IP ratings alone.
- How does Lightfinder 2.0 differ from standard low-light modes?
Lightfinder 2.0 retains full colour imaging at very low lux levels rather than switching to monochrome or producing washed-out tones. It delivers more accurate colour rendering in low ambient light than the previous Lightfinder generation, which supports identification tasks such as clothing colour and vehicle colour at night without relying on white-light illuminators.
- Is the P1377-LE suitable for VMS integration?
Yes. The P1377-LE is ONVIF Profile S, Profile G, and Profile T compliant, which provides broad compatibility with professional video management systems. Profile G covers edge recording and playback, while Profile T adds H.265 and metadata support for analytics-driven platforms.
- What storage options does the P1377-LE support?
The camera supports edge recording via microSD card for local buffering or standalone operation, as well as NAS and network-attached storage. Edge storage via microSD can be used for failover recording if the network connection to a central recorder is interrupted.
- Has this model been discontinued, and should I still purchase it?
The AXIS P1377-LE has been superseded by the AXIS P1387-LE. For new installations, the P1387-LE should be reviewed before committing to the P1377-LE. If you are replacing a failed unit in an existing P1377-LE installation or have a specific project requirement for this model, availability can be confirmed through Security Wholesalers prior to placing an order.
