AXIS M1137-E 5MP Outdoor Varifocal Box Camera, 01773-001

AXIS M1137-E 5 MP Outdoor-Ready Box Camera

The AXIS M1137-E is an outdoor-ready 5 MP compact box camera with Axis Lightfinder and Forensic WDR for true colors and detail in difficult light. Its CS-mount takes a varifocal 2.8–13 mm lens and accepts other lenses when a scene needs a different view. An ARTPEC-7 machine learning processing unit runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect and classify humans and vehicles. The IP66-, NEMA 4X- and IK10-rated enclosure, with wall mount included, suits building entrances, perimeters and parking areas.

Clear Images in Difficult Light

Axis Lightfinder keeps colors true in low light and Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) holds detail when bright and dark areas share the frame. Minimum illumination is 0.12 lux at 30 IRE in color and 0.02 lux in black and white, and the infrared-cut filter switches automatically between day and night modes.

Flexible Coverage and Resolution

The 1/2.7″ sensor streams 5 MP (2592x1944) or 4 MP (2688x1512) at up to 25/30 fps. The 2.8–13 mm lens covers 112°–24° horizontally in 5 MP mode, from a wide overview to a tighter view. Digital PTZ and multiple individually configurable streams let one camera feed both live viewing and recording.

Analytics on the Edge

The ARTPEC-7 machine learning processing unit runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect and classify humans and vehicles, with line crossing and object in area triggers (time in area listed as beta) and up to 10 scenarios. AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard and active tampering alarm are also included.

Built-In Cybersecurity

Signed firmware and secure boot make sure only authorized AXIS firmware runs on the camera. Password protection, IP address filtering, HTTPS encryption, IEEE 802.1x (EAP-TLS) network access control, digest authentication, a user access log and brute force delay protection secure network access.

Easy, Robust Installation
