AXIS P1387 5MP Indoor AI Box Camera, 02735-001
Description
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.
Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault is a hardware-based cybersecurity platform with a secure element (CC EAL 6+), Axis device ID, secure keystore, signed video and secure boot. Network security includes IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AR, HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3 and IP address filtering.
Flexible Installation
Power the camera over PoE (Class 3) or from 10–28 V DC for redundancy. The AXIS T91B21 Stand is included, and the terminal blocks provide 2 supervised alarm inputs, 2 outputs and RS485/RS422. A leveling assistant and remote back focus speed up commissioning.
