The AXIS network camera P1487-LE is a robust, outdoor-rated bullet camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels. It is suitable for surveillance tasks in demanding environments, particularly where high mechanical durability and reliability under extreme temperatures are required. The camera features a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 3 to 8.5 mm, enabling broad field-of-view coverage. The integrated IR illumination ensures clear night vision, even in complete darkness. The camera supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing power supply and data transmission via a single network cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power cabling.

Applications

The camera is designed for outdoor use and offers protection against dust, water, and mechanical impacts. The IK10 rating guarantees a high level of protection against physical damage, such as vandalism or accidents. The camera is designed for extreme environmental conditions, including large temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for industrial facilities, traffic monitoring, warehouses, or public institutions.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The camera includes integrated audio functions, enabling both video and audio transmission. Video transmission supports AV1, H.264, and H.265, with Zipstream technology reducing bandwidth usage and storage requirements. The camera is based on the ARTPEC-9 platform, which enables accelerated processing and supports execution of analysis functions at the edge. These include AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Image Health Analytics, which are used for object detection and image quality monitoring. The integrated cybersecurity platform Axis Edge Vault provides hardware-based security features, including secure key storage and operations, and is certified to FIPS 140-3 Level 3.

Technology Explained Simply

The camera uses modern video compression techniques to minimize data volume without significantly affecting image quality. Support for AV1, H.264, and H.265 enables efficient transmission and storage, especially at high resolutions. The IR illumination ensures clear visibility even at night, with the camera automatically switching between day and night vision. The IK10 rating means the camera is protected against mechanical impacts up to 10 joules, making it suitable for locations with a high risk of physical damage.

Compatibility and Accessories

The camera is compatible with various accessories that support installation and operation. These include mounting brackets such as the T91A05 Camera Holder or the TQ1503-E Dual Camera Mount, which enable secure attachment. For power supply, various power supply unit variants are available, including the PSU T8008 PS24 24 V DC 250 W and the PSU T8008 PS12 12 V DC 85 W. Additionally, surge protector modules such as the TU8001 Ethernet or the T8061 Ethernet are available to protect the camera from voltage surges. For network connectivity, managed PoE+ switches such as the T8516 can be used. The camera can also be operated with a T8120 Midspan 15W 1-port Power Injector if PoE support is not available in the network.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out via a network cable that simultaneously transmits power and data. The camera can be mounted at various points, with the provided brackets ensuring secure and stable positioning. The camera is designed for outdoor use, so mounting at a weather-protected location is recommended to maximize its lifespan. Cabling is done via standardized Ethernet connections, with the use of couplers or other connection elements from the accessory range allowing flexible installation.

Operational Advantages

The camera offers high reliability and ease of maintenance. The integrated analysis functions enable proactive surveillance and early detection of events. The cybersecurity features protect the camera against unauthorized access and data manipulation. PoE technology reduces installation costs and simplifies network infrastructure. The camera is designed for continuous operation and requires no special maintenance, except for occasional cleaning of the optics and inspection of cabling.
