Product Overview
Covering a large hotel lobby, museum floor, or open-plan retail space from a single ceiling mount point, the Axis P5375 delivers pan/tilt/zoom capability in a compact indoor dome that weighs just 380 g. Equipped with a 2.2-11.0 mm varifocal lens and 5x optical zoom, it provides a horizontal field of view ranging from 14 to 71 degrees, allowing operators to shift from wide-area overviews to detailed close-ups without repositioning hardware. Featuring 256 programmable preset positions, pan speeds of up to 100 degrees per second, and a full pan range of plus or minus 179 degrees, it handles active subject tracking across expansive interiors. Built with Forensic WDR and a minimum illumination of 0.1 lux, it performs in environments where lighting conditions are uneven or variable. It also supports Zipstream compression in both H.264 and H.265 to manage bandwidth and storage. The P5375 is IP51 rated for indoor use and is designed to be repainted to match interior finishes, making it suited to spaces where visual integration with the environment is a priority.
Key Capabilities
5x Optical Zoom with Autofocus
The P5375 uses a varifocal 2.2-11.0 mm lens with autofocus to shift between a 71-degree wide view and a 14-degree narrow zoom. Combined with 12x digital zoom, it can resolve detail across large indoor spaces without requiring a camera repositioned closer to the subject.
256 Preset Positions
Up to 256 preset positions can be programmed, allowing operators or VMS systems to cycle through defined camera angles on a schedule or on demand. This is especially useful in large venues where multiple zones need to be monitored from a single mounted unit.
Forensic WDR
Forensic WDR manages scenes with mixed lighting, such as a reception area combining bright window glare with shaded interiors. It retains usable detail across both bright and dim areas of the same frame, which fixed WDR implementations often fail to achieve reliably.
Zipstream Compression (H.264 and H.265)
Axis Zipstream reduces bitrate and storage requirements without lowering image quality by dynamically adjusting compression based on scene activity. Support for both H.264 and H.265 provides flexibility across recording platforms with different codec support.
Day and Night at 0.1 Lux
With a minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in colour mode, the P5375 functions in dimly lit indoor environments such as museum galleries, low-lit hotel corridors, or after-hours retail spaces, where ambient lighting levels drop significantly but do not reach zero.
Repaintable Housing and Discreet Dome Profile
At 130 x 63 mm and 380 g, the P5375 fits neatly into ceiling installations without dominating the space. Its housing is designed to be repainted to match interior colour schemes, allowing deployment in architecturally sensitive environments where visible security hardware is undesirable.
Best For
- Large Open Indoor Spaces: The 5x optical zoom and wide pan range allow a single P5375 to cover areas that would otherwise require several fixed cameras, reducing cabling and hardware costs in spaces such as museum floors, hotel lobbies, and retail showrooms.
- Architecturally Sensitive Interiors: The repaintable dome housing integrates with interior finishes, making it appropriate for heritage buildings, premium retail environments, or spaces where visible hardware would affect the aesthetic.
- Operator-Monitored Environments: With 256 preset positions and 100 degrees per second pan and tilt speeds, the P5375 is suited to control-room-monitored spaces where operators need to steer the camera reactively to track subjects or investigate incidents.
- Mixed-Lighting Indoor Venues: Forensic WDR handles scenes where natural daylight from windows competes with artificial interior lighting, maintaining usable image detail across the frame in spaces such as reception areas and exhibition halls.
Why Choose the Axis P5375
The P5375 addresses a specific installation scenario that fixed indoor dome cameras cannot match: a single ceiling point covering a large open interior with active zoom and tracking capability. Where a fixed 2MP dome captures one locked field of view, the P5375 pans across a 358-degree sweep, tilts across 90 degrees, and zooms in to 5x optical magnification to follow or inspect subjects. The 256 preset positions go well beyond the basic guard tour functionality found on entry-level PTZ units, and Forensic WDR handles the uneven lighting common in commercial interiors. Zipstream on both H.264 and H.265 reduces the storage footprint compared to cameras without adaptive compression. The 5-year warranty reflects Axis’s confidence in the hardware. For installers and end users sourcing this model, the Axis P5375 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis indoor PTZ range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Lighting Requirements: The P5375 has no built-in IR illumination. It depends entirely on ambient light, with a minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in colour mode. For installations where lighting is switched off overnight or where rooms are completely dark for extended periods, supplementary lighting will be needed to maintain usable footage. Confirm the minimum light level at your site before specifying this model.
Coverage Strategy vs. Resolution: At 2MP (1920×1080), the P5375 provides Full HD resolution across its full zoom range. When using maximum digital zoom (12x), image quality will degrade beyond the optical limit. For applications where fine detail at long distance is critical, factor in the optical zoom range (5x) as the practical limit for forensic-quality imagery, and position the camera accordingly relative to the subject area.

Ideal Use Cases
Hotel Lobbies and Atria
The P5375’s pan range of plus or minus 179 degrees and 256 preset positions allow a single ceiling-mounted unit to sweep across a wide lobby, dock onto key positions such as check-in desks and lifts, and zoom in to 5x optical to inspect faces or incidents without requiring multiple fixed cameras.
Museum and Gallery Floors
The repaintable dome housing integrates with gallery finishes, while Forensic WDR handles the high-contrast lighting typical of exhibition spaces. The zoom range lets curators or security operators inspect specific display areas without installing additional dedicated cameras over individual exhibits.
Corporate Reception and Open-Plan Offices
In open-plan commercial interiors with shifting staff and visitor movement, the P5375 can follow activity across the floor using its 100 degrees per second pan and tilt speeds. Zipstream compression keeps network and storage demands manageable even at continuous high frame rates.
Retail Showrooms
Large retail showrooms with scattered product displays benefit from a single P5375 that can zoom into specific display areas, track customers across the floor, and return to preset positions covering high-value stock zones, reducing the number of camera drops required across the ceiling grid.
Conference Centres and Event Spaces
With 256 programmable presets and smooth 5x optical zoom, the P5375 suits spaces that reconfigure between events. Operators can store separate preset tours for different room layouts and switch between them as the venue schedule changes, without physically repositioning camera hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need active pan, tilt, and zoom coverage from a single ceiling mount in a large indoor space, particularly where preset position programming, 5x optical zoom, and a discreet dome profile are required, and where ambient lighting of at least 0.1 lux is reliably available.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation site has periods of complete darkness, as the P5375 has no built-in IR and relies on ambient light. A fixed indoor dome with IR illumination would be more appropriate for environments where lighting is not guaranteed. If the site is outdoors or in a high-moisture environment, the IP51 rating is insufficient and an IP66-rated outdoor PTZ should be considered instead.
FAQs
- Does the Axis P5375 have built-in IR for low-light or dark environments?
No. The P5375 does not have built-in IR illumination. It is a Day and Night camera that relies on ambient lighting, with a minimum illumination of 0.1 lux in colour mode. It is designed for indoor spaces where some level of ambient light is maintained at all times. For sites where lighting is switched off completely overnight, supplementary artificial lighting will be required to maintain usable image quality. - What is the full pan and tilt range of the P5375?
The P5375 pans across a range of plus or minus 179 degrees, giving a total sweep of 358 degrees, and tilts across a 90-degree range. Pan and tilt speeds reach up to 100 degrees per second, allowing the camera to respond quickly when steering to track a moving subject or jump between preset positions. - Can the P5375 be used outdoors or in a wet area?
No. The P5375 carries an IP51 rating, which provides limited protection against dust ingress and dripping water from directly above. It is designed for indoor installations only. Outdoor mounting, exposure to rain, or placement in high-humidity environments such as commercial kitchens would exceed the ingress protection rating of this camera. - How many preset positions can be programmed, and what can they be used for?
Up to 256 preset positions can be stored. These can be used to define specific camera angles across a space and recalled manually by an operator, triggered by motion detection, or run as an automated guard tour. This makes the P5375 effective in venues that need to cycle coverage across multiple zones from a single camera mount. - Does the P5375 support two-way audio?
No. The P5375 includes a built-in microphone for audio capture, but it does not have a built-in speaker. This means it supports one-way audio input only, not two-way voice communication. Audio recorded from the microphone can be used for incident review and investigation but cannot be used to broadcast announcements or challenge individuals through the camera itself. - What video compression formats does the P5375 support, and how does Zipstream affect storage?
The P5375 supports H.265 and H.264 (Baseline, High, and Main profiles), with Axis Zipstream applied across both codecs. Zipstream dynamically adjusts the compression level based on scene activity, reducing bitrate and storage requirements during low-activity periods while preserving full detail when motion or events are detected. This is particularly useful in large indoor spaces where cameras are active continuously but incident activity is intermittent. - Where can I purchase the Axis P5375 and what warranty does it carry?
The Axis P5375 is supplied through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis indoor PTZ network camera range. It carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty, which reflects Axis’s standard warranty term for this product line.
