The AXIS P5654-E Mk II is a high-performance Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) surveillance camera designed for demanding outdoor installations where wide coverage, detailed zoom, and strong intelligence are required.

Key features include:

Image & Optics
• 1080p HDTV resolution with 21× optical zoom.
• Wide‐angle view: approx. 77° field of view at the widest (zoomed out), narrowing down as zoom increases.
• Lightfinder 2.0 technology for better colour in low-light, and Forensic WDR for high contrast scenes.
• Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to reduce blur from vibration or movement.
Lens & Field of View
• Focal length range: approx. 4.0 mm to 84.6 mm.
• Horizontal FoV ranges from ~77.0° when zoomed out, down to ~3.6° at full zoom.
• Vertical FoV similarly scales (from ~43.1° down to ~2.0°).
Analytics & Intelligence
• AXIS Object Analytics: detection & classification of people and vehicles.
• Advanced Gatekeeper: auto-zoom on objects detected in predefined areas.
• Scene metadata support.
• Shock detection: the camera raises an alarm if it is physically hit.
Durability & Environmental Ratings
• Rated IP66 for protection against dust and powerful water jets.
• IK10 vandal resistance.
• NEMA 4X rating (resistance to corrosion, suitable for harsher outdoor/corrosive environments).
• Operates in temperatures from about -30 °C to +50 °C.
Security Features
• Built on Axis’ ARTPEC-7 system-on-chip.
• Edge Vault hardware security: secure boot, signed firmware to prevent unauthorized firmware installs.
• Local storage (memory card slot) for backup / continuous recording as needed.
Video Compression & Efficiency
• Supports H.264, H.265, and Zipstream to reduce bandwidth and storage demands without sacrificing image quality.
• Multiple image/scene profiles to tailor settings (light, contrast etc.) to specific environments.

Use Cases

City Surveillance & Street Monitoring
Useful for covering large public streets, plazas or intersections where both wide overview and zoomed detail (e.g. on suspicious behaviour or license plates) are needed.
Transport Hubs (Bus / Train Stations, Airports)
Ideal for tracking people & vehicles in expansive terminals or platforms, especially in changing light or weather conditions.
Critical Infrastructure / Industrial Sites
For perimeters, entrances or fence lines, especially where harsh weather, potential vandalism or environmental stressors are present.
Perimeter & Parking Lot Surveillance
Monitoring large parking areas, gates or building exteriors with ability to zoom in on incidents as needed.
Retail Complex or Campus Security
Overseeing large outdoor areas in campuses or malls, tracking movements, identifying unauthorized access or loitering.
Event Security
Temporary or permanent installations for events where wide coverage and responsive zooming into incidents matters (e.g. concerts, sports venues).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question	Answer
How far can this camera see / zoom in?	At full zoom (21×), it can focus in on smaller or distant objects; the field of view narrows significantly when zoomed in, allowing details to be seen clearly. Exact detection/recognition distances depend on lighting, weather, and object size.
How good is it in low light or night?	Very good. Lightfinder 2.0 improves colour in dim light, Forensic WDR helps with scenes that have both very bright and very dark parts. However, at very low or no visible light, performance reduces (colour) unless supplemented with lighting.
Does it handle vibration or shock?	Yes. It has electronic image stabilization to help with vibration; plus shock detection to alert if the camera is physically disturbed.
Is it weather / vandal resistant?	Yes. It carries IP66 (dust/water), IK10 (vandal), NEMA 4X (corrosion) ratings, and has a wide operating temperature range. So suitable for outdoor installations in harsh conditions.
What analytics are built in?	Includes object detection/classification (people & vehicles), gatekeeper functionality to auto-zoom into predefined areas, scene metadata. Useful for triggering alerts or recording only when needed.
What about bandwidth / storage?	Uses efficient compression (H.264, H.265) and Zipstream to save bandwidth and storage. Also supports multiple scene profiles so one can balance quality vs resource use.
Can it record locally if network is down?	Yes. It has a memory card slot for local storage, which helps buffer or record during network outages.
What power and mounting options are needed?	It uses PoE Class 4; proper mounting to avoid water ingress and ensure environmental protection is essential. Cable routing and mounts should support the weight and protection ratings.
Is security (firmware, tampering) addressed?	Yes. Edge Vault provides secure boot and signed firmware to guard against unauthorized firmware changes or tampering.
