AXIS P3727-PLE Multisensor Camera – 8 MP (4x 1080p) Outdoor with 360° IR

The AXIS P3727-PLE is an outdoor multisensor camera with four individually positionable 1080p camera heads, 360° IR illumination and AXIS Object Analytics on one channel. Four varifocal 3–6 mm heads share one IP address and one cable, so a single camera covers four directions. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR handle low light and backlight, H.264/H.265 with Axis Zipstream lowers bandwidth and storage, and Axis Edge Vault with a TPM protects the device. The casing is IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK09 rated.

Why Choose the AXIS P3727-PLE?

Four 1080p camera heads (8 MP total) with one IP address and one cable
Each head pans, tilts, rotates and twists along a circular track
AXIS Object Analytics on one channel detects and classifies humans and vehicles
360° IR illumination from four individually controllable 850 nm LEDs
Lightfinder and Forensic WDR for low light and high-contrast scenes
H.264/H.265 with Axis Zipstream and dual microSD card slots
Axis Edge Vault, TPM 2.0 and signed video for device security
IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK09 casing

Four Views from One Camera

Each 1080p camera head can be positioned individually with pan ±90°, tilt +25° to +95°, rotation -5° to +95° and twist ±20°, so one camera can cover four approaches or pair two heads for a wide and a zoomed-in view of the same scene.

Day and Night Coverage

Four individually controllable 850 nm IR LEDs give 360° IR illumination with a range of 15 m (50 ft) or more depending on the scene. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR keep color and detail in low light and when bright and dark areas share the frame.

Analytics on the Edge

Built on ARTPEC-7 with a machine learning processing unit, the camera runs AXIS Object Analytics on one channel to detect and classify humans and vehicles crossing a line or in an area, plus AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard and active tampering alarm.

Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault with a TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2), a secure element, Axis device ID, signed video and secure boot protect the device. IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec), HTTPS/HSTS and TLS v1.2/v1.3 protect the network.

Simple Installation

One PoE Class 4 cable powers all four heads. Remote zoom and focus and a pixel counter let installers set each view remotely, and the bracket fits single-gang, double-gang, 4" square and 4" octagon junction boxes.

Typical Applications

Street and parking lot intersections
Large parking lots
Building corners and perimeters
Campus and school grounds
Retail and warehouse yards
