Description

AXIS P4708-PLVE Dual-Sensor Camera – 2x 8 MP (4K) Outdoor Multisensor with IR

The AXIS P4708-PLVE is a compact outdoor multidirectional camera with two 8 MP (4K) varifocal camera heads on one IP address, so one camera can watch two directions at once in wide or zoomed-in views. Each head has 2.5x zoom with remote zoom and focus, 360° OptimizedIR covers both views in darkness, and Lightfinder and Forensic WDR handle difficult light. ARTPEC-8 with a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) runs AXIS Object Analytics on both channels. It suits hallways, building corners and intersections.

360° OptimizedIR with individually controllable 850 nm LEDs
Lightfinder and Forensic WDR for color and detail in poor or mixed light
AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata on both channels (ARTPEC-8 DLPU)
One camera to install, one cable, one IP address and one VMS license for two views
Axis Edge Vault with TPM 2.0, secure element, signed video and secure boot
IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X and IK10 rated with included weathershield

Two Directions, One Camera

The two camera heads can be panned (±110°), tilted (±75°) and rotated (±170°) independently, and the sensors can be twisted so the heads sit closer together. That makes it a good fit for straight hallways, both sides of a building corner or the corners of an intersection. Rotation in 90° steps supports corridor format, and barrel distortion correction straightens wide views.

Day and Night Performance

360° OptimizedIR with 850 nm LEDs lights both views in complete darkness (range 15 m (50 ft) or more, depending on the scene). Lightfinder keeps color down to 0.19 lux at 50 IRE, F1.9, and Forensic WDR holds detail when bright and dark areas share the scene.

Detail Where You Need It

Each varifocal lens (3.2–8.1 mm, F1.9–3.2) zooms 2.5x, from a 108° wide view to a 40° tele view, with remote zoom and focus from the browser. Video is 2x 3840x2160 (4K, 8 MP per channel) at up to 25/30 fps, in H.264, H.265 or Motion JPEG with Axis Zipstream to lower bandwidth and storage.

AI Analytics on Both Channels

The ARTPEC-8 DLPU runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect and classify humans and vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes), with line crossing, object in area, crossline counting, occupancy in area and time in area scenarios (up to 10 scenarios, 5 per channel). AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Video Motion Detection, active tampering alarm and audio detection are included, and ACAP supports third-party apps.

Built-In Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault with TPM 2.0, a secure element, system-on-chip TEE, Axis device ID, secure keystore, signed video, secure boot and an encrypted filesystem, plus signed OS, IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec), HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3 and a host-based firewall.

Simple Outdoor Installation

The compact camera (975 g, 2.1 lb) mounts on walls or ceilings; the bracket fits double-gang, single-gang, 4" square and 4" octagon junction boxes, with a ½" (M20) conduit side entry. The included weathershield protects the IP66/IP67-, NEMA 4X- and IK10-rated casing outdoors. A pixel counter, remote zoom and focus and a level grid speed up setup, and it runs on a single PoE Class 4 cable (typical 13.3 W with IR on).

Typical Applications

Straight hallways and corridors
Both sides of a building corner
Street and parking-lot intersections
Entrances and walkways
Long perimeters and fence lines in two directions

Can it be installed outdoors?

Yes. It is IP66, IP67, NEMA 4X and IK10 rated, comes with a weathershield and operates from -30 °C to 50 °C.

How is it powered?

Power over Ethernet, IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Class 4: IR on typical 13.3 W, max 18.8 W; IR off typical 7.3 W, max 13.5 W.
