Dome IP security camera AXIS 02897-001 Outdoor 2592×1944, 360° horizontal view, CMOS, 0.1 lx, ceiling/wall mount

AXIS P3747-PLVE is a multi-sensor outdoor security camera designed to monitor four different areas simultaneously. Each of the four channels delivers 5 MP resolution at 20 fps, day/night functionality and 360° IR illumination with individually controllable LEDs plus a removable IR cut filter. The camera supports Forensic WDR for scenes with mixed lighting and extended tilt on each sensor to allow flexible coverage. Integrated PTRZ (Pan, Tilt, Roll, Zoom) enables remote positioning and presets for efficient setup, while Axis Zipstream reduces bandwidth and storage without sacrificing image detail.

Advantages

The camera provides continuous wide-area surveillance with four high-resolution sensors in a single compact unit, enabling cost-effective installation and reduced on-site disruption. Built-in DLPU (deep learning processing unit) allows running AXIS Object Analytics on the edge to detect, classify, track and count people and vehicles, and to produce metadata for fast forensic search. Axis Edge Vault adds hardware-based cybersecurity including FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified cryptographic key storage. PTRZ functionality and remote presets simplify commissioning and remote adjustments.

How to use

Mount the AXIS P3747-PLVE on a suitable ceiling or wall depending on the required coverage: ceiling for full 360° or corner for 270° coverage. Connect the camera to a wired Ethernet network and supply power according to the installation instructions. Use the PTRZ controls and presets to remotely orient each sensor and set desired viewing positions without physical repositioning. Enable day/night and IR settings as needed and configure AXIS Object Analytics or other analytics on the DLPU for detection, classification and counting tasks. Apply Axis Zipstream settings to optimize bandwidth and storage, and follow Axis Edge Vault guidance to enable hardware-backed cryptographic protection.

Recommendations

For reliable results, plan camera placement to cover the target areas with minimal obstructions, verify IR coverage at night for the intended ranges up to 20 m, and configure analytics and presets during installation to reduce future maintenance visits. Ensure network and power infrastructure meet the camera’s wired Ethernet requirements and follow Axis security best practices to keep device credentials and keys protected.
