AXIS P3737-PLE Multisensor Camera – 4x 5 MP Outdoor with 360° IR and AI

The AXIS P3737-PLE is an outdoor multisensor camera with four individually positionable 5 MP camera heads, 360° IR illumination and deep learning analytics on all four channels. Four varifocal heads share one IP address, one cable and one VMS license, giving 4x 5 MP at 20 fps per channel (or 4x Quad HD at 30 fps). Lightfinder, Forensic WDR and OptimizedIR handle low light, AXIS Object Analytics detects and classifies people and vehicles, and Axis Edge Vault protects the device. The casing is IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK09 rated.

Why Choose the AXIS P3737-PLE?

Four 5 MP camera heads (20 MP total) with one IP address and one cable
Each head pans, tilts, rotates and twists for 360° or 270° (corner) coverage
Varifocal 3.2–8.1 mm lenses with remote zoom and focus
360° OptimizedIR illumination with individually controlled LEDs
Lightfinder and Forensic WDR up to 120 dB
AXIS Object Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata on all four channels (ARTPEC-8 DLPU)
Axis Edge Vault with TPM 2.0 and signed video
IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK09 casing

Four Views from One Camera

The four varifocal 3.2–8.1 mm camera heads can each be positioned with pan ±90°, tilt +25° to +95°, rotation -5° to +95° and twist ±20°. Mount the AXIS P3737-PLE on a ceiling for complete 360° coverage or on a building corner for 270°, or twist two heads together so one captures the wide view while the other zooms in on the same target.

Day and Night Coverage

360° IR illumination with OptimizedIR and power-efficient 850 nm LEDs reaches 15 m (49.2 ft) or more depending on the scene, and an automatic IR-cut filter switches between day and night. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) keep color and detail in low light and in high-contrast scenes.

Deep Learning Analytics on All Four Channels

Built on ARTPEC-8 with a deep learning processing unit, the camera runs AXIS Object Analytics on all four channels to detect, classify and count humans and vehicles (up to 8 scenarios, up to 2 per channel), and AXIS Scene Metadata adds faces, license plates, vehicle color and clothing color for forensic search. AXIS Camera Application Platform supports third-party applications.

Cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault

Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform with TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2) and a secure element (CC EAL 6+), safeguards the device with secure boot, signed video and an encrypted filesystem. IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec), HTTPS/HSTS and TLS v1.2/v1.3 protect the network.

One Camera, One Cable, One License

Four camera heads share one PoE Class 4 cable, one IP address and one VMS license. Remote zoom and focus, a pixel counter and barrel distortion correction speed up setup, and Axis Zipstream in H.264 and H.265 lowers bandwidth and storage. The IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X and IK09 casing is built for outdoor wall, ceiling, pendant and recessed mounting.
