The Axis P1488-LE is a robust, shock-resistant network camera in bullet design, designed for outdoor use. It offers a maximum video resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, equivalent to 8 megapixels, enabling detailed image reproduction under various lighting conditions. The camera is equipped with a varifocal wide-angle lens, providing a focal length of 5.9 to 13.8 mm, a horizontal field of view of 114 to 46 degrees, and a vertical field of view of 62 to 26 degrees. The aperture varies between 1.5 and 2.8, ensuring good light utilisation even in low-light conditions. The camera supports P-Iris technology, which enables precise control of the aperture to optimise image quality under different lighting conditions. Integrated IR/LED lights provide effective night vision, ensuring reliable operation even in darkness.

Applications

The camera is suitable for outdoor use and can withstand extreme environmental conditions. It meets protection ratings IP66 and IP67, indicating dust- and water-tight properties, making it suitable for use in damp or wet environments. The IK10 protection class ensures high impact resistance, protecting the camera against mechanical impacts such as vandalism or accidents. The camera is designed for extreme temperatures, making it suitable for industrial or infrastructure applications, for example, on roads, in parks, at traffic junctions, or in production facilities.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The camera features a day/night function, enabling seamless transition between day and night recordings. The Forensic WDR technology ensures even exposure in scenes with strong light contrasts, making details in bright and dark areas simultaneously visible. The integrated DLPU analysis processing power enables processing of AI-based analysis functions directly on the device, reducing latency and increasing efficiency. The camera is equipped with AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Image Health Analytics, allowing it to detect objects and continuously monitor image quality. Support for Zipstream with AV1, H.264, and H.265 video encoders significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality.

Technology Explained Simply

The camera is based on the ARTPEC-9 platform, which enables accelerated performance for executing complex analysis applications at the edge. The Axis Edge Vault platform offers a hardware-based cybersecurity solution, ensuring secure key storage and operations, and is certified to FIPS 140-3 Level 3. This protects the device against unauthorised access and secures data transmission. The camera features an alarm input and output (1/1), which can be used for integration into security systems. The camera does not support two-way audio functionality and does not include an integrated microphone.

Compatibility and Accessories

The camera is compatible with various accessories that facilitate use and installation. These include, for example, the Accessory Audio T8353A Microphone for adding audio functionality, various power supplies such as the PSU T8008 PS24 24 V DC 250 W or the PSU T8008 PS12 12 V DC 85 W, as well as mounting accessories such as the T91A05 Camera Holder or the TQ1503-E Dual Camera Mount. For network connection, surge protector devices such as the TU8001 Ethernet or the T8061 Ethernet are available to protect against overvoltage. Additionally, connectivity couplings and midspan power supplies such as the T8120 Midspan 15W 1-port Power Injector are available to ensure power supply over the network cable (PoE).

Installation and Mounting

The camera is easy to install, maintain, and operate. Mounting is done using the provided brackets, enabling secure attachment to walls, posts, or other structures. Cabling is done via Ethernet, with power supply via PoE or external power supplies. Installation requires no special tools or additional components not offered in the accessories.

Operational Advantages

The camera offers high reliability and longevity due to its robust construction and integrated security functions. AI-powered analysis functions enable efficient monitoring and reduce the need for manual surveillance. The low bandwidth and storage requirements provided by Zipstream reduce operating costs. Hardware-based cybersecurity via Axis Edge Vault protects the device and transmitted data from unauthorised access. The camera is designed for demanding environments and offers high availability and stability.
