AXIS P3288-LVE 8 MP dome camera with AI, motorized zoom and IR

8 MP AXIS dome camera with AI, motorized zoom and audio analytics

AXIS P3288-LVE is built on ARTPEC-9 and has a built-in Deep Learning Processing Unit. This makes it possible to run advanced analytics directly in the camera, including AXIS Object Analytics, AXIS Audio Analytics and AXIS Image Health Analytics.

Motorized zoom from 4.4 to 14.6 mm

The varifocal lens ranges from 4.4 to 14.6 mm and has remote zoom and focus. This means you can adjust the image after installation without having to fine-tune the lens manually at the camera itself.

In the wide setting, you get a horizontal field of view of 103°, while the narrowest setting provides 29°. This makes the camera suitable for both a broad overview and a more focused image farther away.

8 MP resolution with 4K image

The camera delivers up to 3840 × 2160 pixels in 16:9 format. The high resolution provides plenty of image detail and also gives you a solid foundation if you later want to digitally zoom in on a recording.

The frame rate is up to 25/30 frames per second at all supported resolutions.

AI detection of people and vehicles

AXIS Object Analytics can detect, classify, track and count people and vehicles. Among other things, the camera can distinguish between cars, buses, trucks and bicycles.

The analytics can be used for, for example, line crossing, objects in a defined area, loitering, counting, detecting the number of objects in an area and tailgating detection. Up to 10 analytics scenarios can be set up.

AXIS Audio Analytics

The camera has a built-in acoustic sensor and AXIS Audio Analytics. The function can react to changes in sound levels and classify specific types of sound such as screams, shouting, breaking glass and speech.

The audio analytics sends metadata about the detected sounds and can, for example, be combined with video analytics so an event can be detected even if the cause is not immediately visible in the camera image.

Lightfinder 2.0 for low-light areas

Lightfinder 2.0 helps the camera preserve color and detail when there is only a little light. The camera is specified at 0.11 lux in color and 0.03 lux in black and white under the specified measurement conditions.

When it gets completely dark, the camera’s built-in IR illumination can be used for continued monitoring.

OptimizedIR up to 40 meters or more

AXIS P3288-LVE has OptimizedIR with 850 nm IR LEDs and a range of 40 meters or more depending on the area. With IR activated, the camera can record at 0 lux.

This makes it possible to monitor areas without normal lighting at night.

Forensic WDR up to 120 dB

Forensic WDR helps preserve detail when there are both very bright and dark areas in the same image. This can be especially useful at entrances, gates, facades or areas with strong backlight.

The camera supports Forensic WDR up to 120 dB depending on the scene.

How far can the camera see?

With the lens in the wide setting, the DORI distances are specified as 88 meters for detection, 35 meters for observation, 18 meters for recognition and 9 meters for identification.

At maximum telephoto, the distances are specified as 292 meters for detection, 116 meters for observation, 58 meters for recognition and 29 meters for identification.

DORI is based on standardized calculations using pixel density. The actual ability to recognize and identify people or objects depends on factors such as lighting, motion, video compression, focus and camera placement.

AXIS Image Health Analytics

AXIS Image Health Analytics can help detect issues with the camera image itself. The function can, among other things, detect if the image becomes blocked or the camera changes direction, as well as if the image becomes blurry or underexposed.

This makes it easier to spot situations where the camera is still online, but the image is no longer usable as expected.

AXIS Live Privacy Shield

AXIS Live Privacy Shield can dynamically mask people, faces, license plates or backgrounds. The masking can, for example, be pixelated or applied with a solid-color mask.

This feature can be used when certain people or areas should not be visible in the video image.

Supports SD cards

The camera supports microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards, so recordings can be stored directly at the camera. The SD card can also be encrypted.

Recordings can also be stored on compatible network storage such as a NAS.

AXIS Edge Vault

AXIS Edge Vault is the camera’s hardware-based security platform. It protects the camera’s identity and cryptographic information, among other things, and supports features such as Secure Boot, Signed Video and secure storage of cryptographic keys.

The secure element is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified for secure storage and handling of keys, among other things.

PoE makes installation easier

The camera supports PoE, so both power and network connection can run through the same network cable. Typical power consumption with heater and IR off is 5.5 W, while maximum power consumption is 12.9 W.

For indoor and outdoor use

AXIS P3288-LVE is IP66- and IP67-rated against dust and water and IK10-rated against mechanical impact. The camera is also NEMA 4X rated.

The camera can operate at temperatures from -40 °C to +50 °C. The starting temperature is specified as -30 °C.

Power over Ethernet

Do like the professionals. POE means that only one cable is needed for the camera. The camera gets power through the network cable, typically from a recorder with built-in PoE, or from a POE switch.
