Product SKU: P1475-LE
Product Overview
For commercial sites and enterprise installations where perimeter coverage needs to go beyond basic recording, the AXIS P1475-LE is a professional outdoor bullet camera built around a next-generation ARTPEC-9 chipset with a built-in Deep Learning Processing Unit. Mounted on walls, building facades, or overhead structures facing driveways, loading docks, or yard perimeters, it delivers 2MP full HD video at up to 50/60 fps with a 3.1 to 9.0 mm varifocal P-Iris lens that can be adjusted remotely during commissioning. Lightfinder 2.0 maintains colour detail in near-dark conditions, while OptimizedIR extends infrared coverage to approximately 50 m. AXIS Object Analytics runs directly on the camera to classify humans and vehicles at the edge, and AV1 compression alongside Axis Zipstream substantially reduces storage and bandwidth overhead. Rated IP66, IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X, the P1475-LE is designed to operate reliably from -40 degrees C to +60 degrees C.
Key Capabilities
On-Edge AI with Built-in DLPU
The integrated Deep Learning Processing Unit runs AXIS Object Analytics directly on the camera, classifying humans and vehicles without relying on server-side processing. This reduces load on your VMS and keeps analytics functioning even during network interruptions.
Lightfinder 2.0 for Low-Light Colour
Lightfinder 2.0 enables the P1475-LE to produce usable colour images in very low ambient light, preserving detail in poorly lit yards, car parks, and building approaches where standard sensors would switch to monochrome or produce noise-heavy footage.
OptimizedIR to Approximately 50 m
The OptimizedIR system adapts illumination intensity to the zoom level of the varifocal lens, avoiding overexposure at close range while maintaining even coverage at distances up to approximately 50 m. This is particularly useful for long driveway approaches and perimeter fence lines.
AV1, H.265, and Axis Zipstream
Supporting AV1 alongside H.265 and H.264, all combined with Axis Zipstream, the P1475-LE can significantly cut storage and bandwidth consumption compared to cameras limited to H.264 alone. This matters directly when sizing NVR storage for multi-camera enterprise deployments.
Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault provides FIPS 140-3 Level 3 secure key storage alongside secure boot and signed firmware. For government, healthcare, and enterprise sites with IT security policies, this offers a hardware-level cybersecurity foundation that basic cameras do not provide.
Remote Varifocal with P-Iris Control
The 3.1 to 9.0 mm varifocal lens with P-Iris control and remote zoom and focus adjustment allows installers to frame the scene precisely from ground level or via the VMS interface without returning to the camera position, reducing installation time on elevated or difficult-access mounts.
Best For

Why Choose the AXIS P1475-LE
The AXIS P1475-LE occupies a clear position above standard outdoor bullet cameras through its combination of on-edge AI processing, extended IR range, AV1 compression support, and hardware cybersecurity. Where a camera without a DLPU pushes all analytics work to the server, the P1475-LE handles human and vehicle classification directly on the device using AXIS Object Analytics, freeing VMS resources and maintaining local intelligence during network issues. The extended OptimizedIR range of approximately 50 m and Lightfinder 2.0 improve low-light consistency in the wide outdoor environments this camera is built for. Image Health Analytics actively monitors for blocked or degraded images, providing an operational reliability layer that simpler cameras lack entirely. Electronic Image Stabilisation reduces image blur from vibration on exposed mounting positions. Available through Security Wholesalers, the P1475-LE is suited to installers and integrators specifying a camera that delivers measurable operational and storage advantages over a basic 2MP outdoor bullet.
Buyer Decision Tips
Varifocal Framing and IR Range: The 3.1 to 9.0 mm varifocal range gives a horizontal field of view from approximately 117 degrees at wide end to 36 degrees at telephoto. For monitoring a loading dock entrance at close range, the wide setting covers the full approach. For a long driveway or fence line requiring narrow coverage at 30 to 50 m, the telephoto end paired with OptimizedIR is the appropriate configuration. Confirm the mounting distance to your subject before deciding on the initial zoom setting during commissioning.
AV1 Compression and VMS Compatibility: AV1 support delivers the most significant storage savings but requires your VMS or NVR to support AV1 decoding. If your current platform only supports H.264 and H.265, the camera will operate correctly using H.265 with Zipstream, which still provides meaningful storage reductions. Verify AV1 compatibility with your VMS vendor before relying on AV1 as the primary stream format.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Building Perimeters
Wall or facade-mounted on commercial buildings, the P1475-LE uses AXIS Object Analytics to distinguish between humans and vehicles at the perimeter, reducing nuisance alerts triggered by environmental motion and providing metadata for VMS-based event search.
Warehouse and Industrial Yard Monitoring
The IK10 rating, IP66/IP67 weather sealing, and NEMA 4X classification make the P1475-LE suited to the dust, moisture, and temperature extremes common in warehouses and open industrial yards, while OptimizedIR covers extended distances across large open areas at night.
Car Parks and Vehicle Entry Points
Lightfinder 2.0 maintains colour in the low-ambient-light conditions typical of undercover car parks and night-time entry lanes. The varifocal lens allows the camera to be framed precisely to the entry lane width, covering approaching vehicles at the telephoto end of the zoom range.
Government and Healthcare Facilities
Axis Edge Vault with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 hardware-based key storage and signed firmware addresses the cybersecurity compliance requirements common at government buildings, hospitals, and other regulated sites that mandate verified hardware security on networked devices.
Schools and Retail Loading Docks
Image Health Analytics monitors the camera for blocked or degraded images and generates alerts, which is practically useful at school perimeters or loading dock locations where cameras can be deliberately obscured or knocked out of position without being immediately noticed.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your installation requires on-edge AI object classification, AV1 compression for reduced storage overhead, an IR range of approximately 50 m, Electronic Image Stabilisation for exposed mounting positions, or hardware-level cybersecurity via Axis Edge Vault with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 compliance.
- Choose a different model if: Your project needs higher than 2MP resolution for identifying fine detail at distance, such as number plate capture at range. A higher-resolution bullet camera in the same outdoor category would be more appropriate. Alternatively, if the site requirements are straightforward and basic human and vehicle detection is sufficient without AV1 or advanced cybersecurity, a previous-generation outdoor bullet with standard analytics may be more cost-appropriate.
FAQs
- What does the built-in DLPU actually do in the P1475-LE?
The Deep Learning Processing Unit is a dedicated on-camera processor that runs AXIS Object Analytics without consuming the camera’s general CPU resources. It classifies detected objects as humans or vehicles in real time, generates scene metadata for VMS search and analysis, and operates independently of server-side processing. This means analytics continue running during network outages and your VMS server is not burdened with processing video streams for detection tasks.
- How does Image Health Analytics work and why does it matter for outdoor installations?
Image Health Analytics monitors the live image from the P1475-LE and generates alerts if the camera is physically blocked, the lens is obstructed, or image quality degrades below a defined threshold. For outdoor bullet cameras mounted on building exteriors or fence posts, this provides an automated way to detect tampering or obscuring events, rather than relying on operators to notice a degraded or black feed during a review.
- Does the varifocal lens require manual adjustment at the camera position?
No. The 3.1 to 9.0 mm varifocal lens supports remote zoom and focus adjustment, which can be performed via the camera’s web interface or compatible VMS without returning to the mounting location. This reduces commissioning time significantly on wall or overhead mounts where physical access to the camera body is inconvenient.
- Is AV1 compression supported by all VMS platforms?
AV1 is a newer codec and is not universally supported across all VMS and NVR platforms at present. The P1475-LE also supports H.265 and H.264 with Axis Zipstream, both of which are broadly compatible. If your recording platform does not yet support AV1 decoding, the camera will operate on H.265 or H.264. Confirm AV1 support with your VMS vendor before configuring it as the primary stream.
- What does FIPS 140-3 Level 3 mean for the Axis Edge Vault on this camera?
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 is a US federal cryptographic module security standard requiring both software and hardware-based protections including physical tamper evidence and identity-based operator authentication. Axis Edge Vault on the P1475-LE uses this standard for secure storage of cryptographic keys and device certificates, which is relevant for sites subject to government, defence, or enterprise IT security policies requiring verified hardware security on networked cameras. The P1475-LE is part of the Security Wholesalers range of professional Axis cameras available for compliant deployments.
- What is the effective IR range and does it adjust with zoom?
OptimizedIR provides an infrared range of up to approximately 50 m. The system automatically adjusts the IR illumination intensity as the varifocal lens is zoomed, preventing overexposure of close subjects at wide angle while maintaining sufficient illumination intensity at the telephoto end. This produces more consistent night-time image quality across the zoom range compared to fixed-output IR illuminators.
- Does the P1475-LE require a separate power supply in addition to PoE?
No. The camera is powered entirely via standard PoE compliant with IEEE 802.3af at Class 3, drawing power through the same Cat5e or Cat6 cable that carries the network connection. No separate power cabling or local power outlet is required at the mounting position, which simplifies outdoor installation runs considerably.
