AXIS P1487-LE IP camera 5 MP, 106–35°, IR 50 m, IK10, PoE, White

The AXIS P1487-LE (03183-001) is a rugged bullet-style IP camera with 5 MP resolution and a variable field of view from 106° down to 35°. OptimizedIR lights the scene up to 50 m in darkness, and the ARTPEC-9 chip with a deep learning processing unit runs analytics right inside the camera. The housing is rated IK10 and IP66/IP67, with power over PoE or DC.

Description

5 MP detail across a wide area

The 5 MP sensor at 2592 × 1944 captures noticeably more detail than a standard Full HD camera, so faces and licence plates can be zoomed in on in recordings without the image falling apart straight away. The varifocal lens covers a horizontal field of view from 106° to 35° and a vertical one from 77° to 26°, so one camera suits both a wide yard and a narrower driveway. Autofocus and remote zoom let you set the view from a computer.

Night surveillance out to 50 metres

OptimizedIR at an 850 nm wavelength allows surveillance in complete darkness up to 50 m away. Lightfinder 2.0 keeps colour and detail in low light, with a minimum illumination of 0.02 lx. Forensic WDR balances the image when headlights shine into the frame at night or bright sun does by day, and 2D and 3D noise reduction keeps the picture clean in poor light.

A steady image in wind and vibration

Electronic image stabilisation smooths out shaking when the camera is mounted on a pole or bridge that wind and traffic set moving. Auto-rotation helps level the view quickly during installation. According to Axis, the camera withstands winds of up to 60 m/s, and NEMA 4X, IP66 and IP67 ratings plus IK10 impact resistance protect it from rain, snow, dust and knocks. It weighs 1.37 kg.

Analytics powered by ARTPEC-9 and deep learning

With a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) on board, the camera ships with AXIS Object Analytics to detect, classify, track and count people, vehicles and vehicle types. AXIS Image Health Analytics alerts you when the image is blocked, degraded, under-exposed or redirected. AXIS Live Privacy Shield uses AI to mask people dynamically, so activity can be monitored while privacy is protected.

Redundant power, audio and cybersecurity

Power can be supplied via PoE and DC, so the camera keeps running if one source fails. Audio is two-way, and an alarm input and output let you connect a gate motor or siren, for example. Axis Edge Vault provides FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified key storage, and IEEE 802.1X, 802.1AR and 802.1AE (MACsec) are supported. Video is recorded to a microSD card, network storage or a video recorder.

Who this IP camera is for

Manufacturing and warehouse operations that must watch a large yard and tell people from vehicles; operators of car parks, fuel stations or logistics centres who need detailed 5 MP images at night too; municipalities and infrastructure sites where the camera sits on a pole in the open; and security companies that rely on redundant power and strong cybersecurity.

Questions & answers

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

Not necessarily. It runs on PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at) and draws up to 12.95 W. A second power source can be added through the DC input for redundancy.

How far can the camera see at night?

OptimizedIR lights the scene up to 50 m away. In low light Lightfinder 2.0 also helps, with a minimum illumination of 0.02 lx.

Can the field of view be changed?

Yes. The lens is varifocal, and the horizontal field of view can be adjusted from 106° to 35° using remote zoom and autofocus.

Is the camera suitable for outdoors and winter?

Yes. It is rated IP66, IP67 and NEMA 4X, with IK10 impact resistance and an operating range of –40 to +60 °C.

Does the camera have audio?

Yes, audio is two-way (full duplex) and there is a microphone input.
