AXIS P4707-PLVE Panoramic Camera Dual-sensor with 360° IR and deep learning‍‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‍

Product SKU: AXIS P4707-PLVE

Product Overview

Monitoring two directions from one compact installation point is the core strength of the AXIS P4707-PLVE, a dual-sensor multidirectional panoramic camera suited to building corners, corridor intersections, car park entries, outdoor approaches, and commercial environments where separate camera runs would add cost and complexity. Featuring 2 x 5MP camera channels operating through a single IP address, the P4707-PLVE uses individually adjustable varifocal heads with a 3.26-8.12mm range and 2.5x zoom, giving installers precise control over each field of view. Equipped with 360° IR illumination, Axis Lightfinder, and Forensic WDR, it supports detailed imaging across changing light conditions from daylight through to complete darkness. It also integrates deep learning analytics on both sensors via the ARTPEC-8 processing platform, supporting AXIS Object Analytics and scene metadata directly at the edge. With H.264/H.265 Zipstream compression, IP66/IP67 weather protection, IK10 vandal resistance, PoE, and edge storage support, this camera is suited to demanding outdoor and indoor deployments where dual-view coverage and intelligent detection are both required.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Building Corners and Intersections: The dual-sensor design covers two directions from one mount, making it directly suited to external corners, T-junctions, and corridor crossings where a single fixed camera cannot capture both approaches.
• Car Parks and Outdoor Approaches: 360° IR illumination and IP66/IP67 weather protection support reliable overnight and all-weather monitoring across vehicle lanes, pedestrian paths, and external access points.
• Retail, Schools, and Commercial Campuses: AXIS Object Analytics running on both sensors helps operators monitor entrances, hallways, service areas, and common zones with more accurate event detection from a compact overhead device.
• Warehouses, Loading Docks, and Industrial Sites: IK10 vandal resistance combined with dual-direction 5MP coverage makes the P4707-PLVE suitable for internal intersections, stock areas, and access points where the environment is demanding and two sight lines matter.

Why Choose the AXIS P4707-PLVE

The AXIS P4707-PLVE addresses a specific installation problem: how to monitor two directions from one location without doubling hardware, cabling, and network resources. A simpler single-sensor camera cannot do this. A standard dual-camera setup requires two IP addresses, two network connections, two mounting points, and potentially two VMS licences. The P4707-PLVE delivers both views through one device on one IP address, while running deep learning analytics on both 5MP sensors via the ARTPEC-8 chip. The varifocal heads give installers the ability to frame each sensor independently to 3.26-8.12mm, the 360° IR covers both directions through the night, and Forensic WDR handles the contrast challenges common at entries and corners. IP66/IP67 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance extend its use to exposed outdoor installations. Available through Security Wholesalers, the P4707-PLVE is a purpose-built solution for sites where dual-direction coverage and edge analytics both need to be delivered efficiently from a single device.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your site has corners, intersections, or access points where two separate directions need to be monitored, and you want to reduce hardware, cabling, switch ports, and IP address count. The deep learning analytics on both sensors also make it suitable for sites where smarter edge-based detection is a requirement alongside dual-direction coverage.
• Choose a different model if: Your site requires more than two direction-specific views from one device. A 4-sensor or full panoramic fisheye camera may be better suited where complete 360° situational awareness across all four quadrants is the priority rather than targeted dual-direction framing. Alternatively, if budget is the primary constraint and simple single-direction coverage is sufficient, a standard fixed or varifocal dome may meet the need at a lower cost per camera.

FAQs

1. How does the AXIS P4707-PLVE handle two camera views from one device?
   The P4707-PLVE uses two physically separate 5MP sensor heads, each with its own varifocal lens adjustment. Both sensors operate through a single IP address and one network connection. Each head can be independently aimed and focused during installation, so the two channels can cover entirely different directions, angles, or distances from the same mounting point.
2. Is the AXIS P4707-PLVE suitable for outdoor installation?
   Yes. The P4707-PLVE carries IP66 and IP67 weather ingress ratings, confirming it is sealed against dust and protected against water immersion and heavy rain. It also carries an IK10 vandal resistance rating. These ratings make it appropriate for exposed building corners, external corridors, car parks, loading docks, and outdoor public-space installations.
3. Does the 360° IR illumination cover both sensor directions?
   Yes. The 360° IR illumination is built into the camera unit and uses individually controllable LEDs that cover the full arc around the camera. This means both sensor channels benefit from IR support in low-light and zero-light conditions, regardless of which directions the individual heads are pointed toward.
4. What analytics does the AXIS P4707-PLVE support?
   The P4707-PLVE runs analytics with deep learning on both sensors, powered by the ARTPEC-8 processing platform. It supports AXIS Object Analytics and generates scene metadata streams. Analytics processing occurs directly on the camera at the edge, which reduces the load on server-side systems and allows more responsive event detection and forensic search across both video channels.
5. Does the camera count as one or two channels in a VMS or NVR?
   The P4707-PLVE presents as a single device on one IP address, but it produces two independent video streams. Whether each stream counts as a separate licensed channel depends on the VMS or NVR platform in use. Some software platforms licence per stream rather than per device. Confirm the channel licensing model with your software vendor before deploying multiple units across a large site, as this affects total system cost. Security Wholesalers can assist with configuration planning if required.
6. What does Forensic WDR do in a dual-sensor camera like this?
   Forensic WDR processes each sensor channel independently to handle scenes where bright and dark areas appear simultaneously. At a building corner or car park entry, one sensor might face a brightly lit road while the other looks into a darker internal area. Forensic WDR helps maintain usable detail in both the highlight and shadow regions of each channel without requiring separate exposure management per sensor.
7. Can the two sensor heads be set to very different focal lengths from each other?
   Yes. Each varifocal head adjusts independently within the 3.26-8.12mm range, and each supports 2.5x zoom with remote zoom and focus adjustment. This means one head can be set to a wider field of view for broad situational awareness while the other is zoomed in toward a specific point of interest such as a door, counter, or vehicle entry, all from the same physical camera unit.
