AXIS P1387 5MP Indoor AI Box Camera, 02735-001

AXIS P1387 5MP Indoor Box Camera with AI Analytics

The AXIS P1387 is a 5MP indoor box camera with Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR for true colors and detail in challenging light or near darkness. Built on ARTPEC-8 with a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), it runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect and classify humans, vehicles and vehicle types, and Axis Edge Vault protects the device with a secure element, secure boot and signed video. An exchangeable CS-mount varifocal lens with i-CS support, electronic image stabilization and PoE with redundant DC power make it a flexible choice for indoor sites, and AXIS designed it to fit an outdoor housing as well.

True Color in Challenging Light

Lightfinder 2.0 delivers full-color video in near darkness, and Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) keeps detail when bright and dark areas share the frame. Minimum illumination is color 0.1 lux and B/W 0.02 lux at 50 IRE, F1.4 (5 MP 25/30 fps with Forensic WDR and Lightfinder 2.0), or color 0.04 lux with the optional F0.9 lens.

Exchangeable Lens and Stable Images

The 1/2.7″ sensor streams 5 MP (2592x1944). The supplied varifocal 2.8–13 mm, F1.4 lens covers 112°–24° horizontally and 80°–18° vertically, and the CS mount with i-CS support lets you change to another lens as needs change. Electronic image stabilization uses built-in gyroscopic sensors to keep video steady despite vibration, barrel distortion correction sharpens the image edges, and corridor format fits hallways and tunnels.

AI Analytics on the Edge

The ARTPEC-8 deep learning processing unit runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect and classify humans and vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes, other) in line crossing, object in area, time in area, crossline counting and occupancy in area scenarios. AXIS Image Health Analytics flags blocked, redirected, blurred or underexposed images, and AXIS Scene Metadata supports fast forensic search.
