IP dome security camera AXIS P3287-LV — 2592×1944, CMOS 1/2.8 inch, 3–8.5 mm varifocal, 190° rotation, indoor/outdoor, ceiling/wall

AXIS P3287-LV is an indoor/outdoor IP dome security camera designed for ceiling or wall mounting and wired Ethernet connectivity. It records up to 2592×1944 (5 MP) on a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor and uses a 3–8.5 mm varifocal lens with a horizontal field of view from approximately 34°. Built on the ARTPEC-9 platform, the camera supports AV1 compression and on‑board AI analytics for efficient edge processing and optimized bandwidth usage. The housing is weatherproof and impact resistant, enabling use in perimeter monitoring, entrances and retail surveillance with low-light sensitivity down to 0.02 lx and IR illumination for longer-range night visibility.

Advantages

The camera delivers high-resolution 5 MP images with enhanced low-light performance thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, providing detailed footage across a wide dynamic range. ARTPEC-9 hardware acceleration enables advanced analytics to run on the device, reducing the need for external servers while preserving network bandwidth with AV1 codec support. Built-in cybersecurity features, including Axis Edge Vault, protect device integrity and credentials. The vandal-proof dome design and IP66 rating ensure reliable operation outdoors and in challenging environments.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence line monitoring

How to use

Mount the AXIS P3287-LV on a ceiling or wall using appropriate anchors and follow local cabling standards to connect the camera to a wired Ethernet network. Configure network, compression (AV1) and recording settings via the camera’s web interface or compatible video management software. Calibrate the varifocal lens and rotation to set the desired field of view and use built-in analytics settings to enable or tune AI-based detection features. Ensure firmware is updated and Axis Edge Vault is activated to maintain security.

Recommendations

Position the camera at a height and distance that match the required detection range; for perimeter or entrance monitoring, aim to balance field of view and detail by adjusting the varifocal lens. Use AV1 compression for long-term recording to reduce storage and bandwidth needs, and enable on‑edge analytics to limit false alarms. Regularly check seals and mounting hardware in outdoor installations and keep firmware and security settings current.
