AXIS P1387‑LE 5MP Outdoor Box Camera Motorised Varifocal Lens 2.8-13mm Edge Deep Learning Analytics
The AXIS P1387‑LE is a rugged 5 MP outdoor box camera featuring a motorised varifocal 2.8–13 mm lens for flexible framing. Equipped with Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR, and Optimized IR (up to ~50 m range), it delivers exceptional image quality in all lighting conditions. Powered by ARTPEC‑8 with DLPU, it runs on‑axis deep learning analytics for real‑time detection and classification, all secured by Axis Edge Vault within an IP66/IP67, IK10, NEMA 4X-rated housing suitable for extreme environments
The AXIS P1387‑LE captures ultra-clear 5 MP video at up to 60 fps with a 1/2.7″ progressive-scan RGB CMOS sensor and 2.0 µm pixels. Its imaging suite includes Lightfinder 2.0 for colour in low light (~0.1 lux), Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) for challenging contrast, and Optimized IR delivering black-and-white imaging even in total darkness (~0 lux) up to ~50 m depending on conditions.
Motorised Varifocal Lens for Flexible Setup A high-performance 2.8–13 mm CS-mount varifocal lens (f/1.4) offers a horizontal field of view ranging from ~112° to 24°, remote zoom/focus adjustment, IR correction, and P-Iris control. This enables installers to achieve optimal framing and focus remotely without on-site intervention.
Embedded Deep Learning Analytics Built on the ARTPEC‑8 SoC with DLPU, the camera runs AXIS Object Analytics on-device—detecting, classifying, counting, and tracking humans and vehicles in real-time. Additional support includes scene metadata, motion detection, tampering/shock alerts, and optional privacy masking.
Advanced Streaming & Storage Options Supports H.264, H.265, and MJPEG compression, with Axis Zipstream for efficient bandwidth/storage use. It supports up to 20 independent streams with CBR/VBR/ABR/MBR options and allows onboard edge recording through an encrypted microSD/SDHC/SDXC card or NAS storage.
Robust Security & Environmental Specs Equipped with Axis Edge Vault, this camera features secure boot, a signed OS, and a certified keystore for strong cybersecurity. It meets IP66/IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X standards, can be repainted, and withstands operating temperatures from –40 °C to +60 °C, humidity up to 100%, and sustained wind loads up to 55 m/s (123 mph). Includes a front heater to prevent lens fog or icing.
Installation & Operational Features Features include automatically removable IR-cut filter, electronic image stabilization, defogging, barrel distortion correction, corridor mode, privacy masks, pixel counter, and digital PTZ. It supports VAPIX API, ONVIF Profiles G/M/S/T, ACAP for custom apps, and integrates with Axis tools like Site Designer and Device Manager.
Use Cases
Critical Infrastructure & Perimeter Security High-resolution capture and AI-based detection with rugged durability make it ideal for securing fences, entry points, ports, or substations.
Traffic Monitoring & License Plate Capture The motorised varifocal lens allows zooming into license plates or distant targets, while analytics differentiate people, vehicles, and anomalies.
Industrial & Harsh Environments The blower/heater-equipped front glass and robust environmental rating support deployments in cold, dusty, or corrosive scenarios.
Long-Range Surveillance Ideal for zoos, campuses, borders, or large parking zones where wide coverage and fine zoom tuning are needed.
FAQs
Q: What is the minimum illumination for capturing usable video? A: With Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, the camera captures colour images from ~0.1 lux and black-and-white down to ~0.02 lux. With IR enabled, it performs in complete darkness (~0 lux).
Q: What are the remote control capabilities of the lens? A: The camera features a motorised varifocal CS lens (2.8–13 mm) with remote zoom/focus and P‑Iris control, enabling optimization post-installation.
Q: Does it support edge storage and network failover? A: Yes. It supports microSD/SDHC/SDXC card storage (encrypted) and NAS recording. It also accepts PoE Class 4 and redundant DC power inputs for reliable operation.
Q: How secure is it against cyber threats? A: The camera is protected with Axis Edge Vault, offering secure boot, signed firmware, and a FIPS-certified secure keystore—ensuring the device resists tampering at boot and runtime.
