Axis 2×2MP P47 Series AXIS P4705-PLVE Outdoor Multidirectional Camera with Deep Learning Analytics, 2.5x Zoom, 360° IR

Product SKU: P4705-PLVE

Product Overview

The AXIS P4705-PLVE is a compact 2 x 2MP outdoor multidirectional camera designed to monitor two directions from one cost-efficient device. It features two individually adjustable camera heads, one IP address, 360° IR illumination, 2.5x zoom, remote zoom and focus, Axis Lightfinder, Forensic WDR, Axis Zipstream, H.264/H.265 compression, and analytics with deep learning on both sensors. With IP66/IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance, edge storage, audio support, and flexible outdoor wall mounting, this camera is ideal for corridors, building corners, car parks, schools, warehouses, entrances, retail sites, and commercial environments requiring dual-view surveillance.

Why Choose the AXIS P4705-PLVE

The AXIS P4705-PLVE is ideal for customers who need reliable dual-direction monitoring without installing two separate cameras. Its two 2MP sensors can be positioned independently to monitor two areas at once, or set closer together where one view captures a broader overview while the other focuses on more detail. Built on ARTPEC-8, it supports analytics with deep learning on both sensors, helping detect and classify humans, vehicles, and vehicle types. With 360° IR, Lightfinder, Forensic WDR, and efficient Zipstream compression, it provides strong day and night performance while keeping installation and storage requirements practical.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 2 x 2MP Imaging: The AXIS P4705-PLVE provides two 2MP camera channels in one multidirectional device. Each channel can capture detailed 1920 × 1080 video, making the camera useful for monitoring two directions, combining overview and detail, or covering a corridor intersection from one installation point.

• One IP Address: Both camera heads operate through one camera and one IP address, helping simplify network setup and video management. This can reduce cabling, switch ports, mounting hardware, configuration time, and VMS licensing requirements compared with deploying two separate cameras in similar locations.

• 360° IR with Individually Controllable LEDs: Built-in 360° IR illumination supports clear footage in low light and complete darkness. Individually controllable LEDs help optimise illumination across the scene, improving night-time visibility for corridors, outdoor approaches, car parks, walkways, building corners, entrances, and loading areas.

• 2.5x Zoom with Remote Focus: The 3.26–8.12mm lens range and 2.5x zoom allow installers to tailor each sensor’s view to the site. Remote zoom and focus reduce the need for hands-on fine tuning after installation, helping achieve faster setup and more accurate framing.

• Lightfinder and Forensic WDR: Axis Lightfinder helps record colour images in near darkness, while Forensic WDR improves clarity where bright and dark areas appear together. These technologies help produce more usable footage in real-world conditions affected by shadows, sunlight, headlights, entrances, and mixed indoor/outdoor lighting.

• Deep Learning Analytics: The camera supports analytics with deep learning on both sensors, including AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata. It can detect and classify humans, vehicles, and vehicle types, helping reduce irrelevant alerts and making forensic searches faster and more efficient.

• Zipstream with H.264 and H.265: Axis Zipstream works with H.264 and H.265 compression to significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving important image detail. This is especially useful for multi-sensor cameras, where multiple video streams can otherwise increase storage and network load.

• Outdoor and Vandal-Resistant Design: With IP66/IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance, and outdoor-ready construction, the AXIS P4705-PLVE is suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor applications. It can be used for wall-mounted outdoor coverage, corridors, building corners, public areas, and commercial surveillance projects.

Specifications Summary

Ideal Use Cases

• Building Corners – Suitable for monitoring two directions from one wall-mounted device, reducing the need for a separate camera on each side of the corner.
• Corridors and Intersections – Ideal for straight hallways, corridor intersections, school passages, office walkways, and shared indoor routes where two-direction visibility is required.
• Car Parks and Driveways – Useful for vehicle entrances, pedestrian approaches, car park lanes, access roads, and outdoor walkways where night visibility and dual-view coverage are important.
• Retail and Commercial Sites – Suitable for store entrances, shopfronts, aisles, service areas, loading points, and shared spaces where one compact camera can monitor two important directions.
• Warehouses and Industrial Facilities – A practical option for loading docks, stock areas, internal intersections, external yards, and access points where two views are needed from one installation location.

Understanding the Dual-Sensor Multidirectional Camera System

The AXIS P4705-PLVE uses two individually adjustable sensors instead of one fixed-view lens. This allows the camera to monitor two separate directions from one physical device, making it useful for corners, corridors, entrances, car parks, loading zones, and outdoor approaches. The 2.5x zoom and remote focus help installers fine-tune each view, while the dual-sensor design can reduce the need for multiple separate cameras.

Tip:
Use the two sensors to cover different directions when overall situational awareness is the priority. Aim one sensor toward a wider overview and the other toward a more important point of interest when the site needs both context and detail, such as at a gate, doorway, service counter, loading bay, vehicle entry, or corridor intersection.

FAQs

1. What is the AXIS P4705-PLVE best suited for?
   The AXIS P4705-PLVE is best suited for locations where two directions need to be monitored from one compact device. It is ideal for building corners, corridors, entrances, car parks, loading areas, schools, retail sites, warehouses, and commercial environments where installing two separate cameras would increase cabling, hardware, switch ports, setup time, and maintenance.
2. How many sensors does the AXIS P4705-PLVE have?
   The AXIS P4705-PLVE includes two 2MP sensors in one multidirectional camera. Each sensor can be positioned individually, allowing the camera to capture two separate views while using one IP address and one network connection. This makes it useful for dual-direction monitoring from one installation point.
3. Does the AXIS P4705-PLVE have built-in IR?
   Yes, the AXIS P4705-PLVE includes 360° IR illumination with individually controllable LEDs. This allows it to capture usable black-and-white footage in low light or complete darkness, supporting around-the-clock monitoring across both camera views in corridors, entrances, car parks, outdoor walkways, and building corners.
4. Does this camera support deep learning analytics?
   Yes, the AXIS P4705-PLVE supports analytics with deep learning on both sensors. AXIS Object Analytics can detect and classify humans, vehicles, and vehicle types, while AXIS Scene Metadata can provide useful data for search and review. This helps reduce irrelevant alerts and improves investigation efficiency.
5. What is the benefit of using one dual-sensor camera instead of two separate cameras?
   A dual-sensor camera can reduce installation complexity because it provides two camera views from one device, one cable, and one IP address. This can reduce cabling, mounting hardware, switch ports, configuration time, and VMS licensing compared with using two separate cameras for similar directional coverage.
6. Is the AXIS P4705-PLVE suitable for outdoor use?
   Yes, the AXIS P4705-PLVE is outdoor ready with IP66/IP67 weather protection and IK10 vandal resistance. It operates from -30 °C to 50 °C, making it suitable for many commercial, education, industrial, car park, building perimeter, and outdoor access applications where durability and weather resistance are required.
