Extra Info
Panoramic 360° Clarity in 4K
With 4x 4K resolution sensors, the AXIS P3738-PLE ensures sharp, detailed coverage in four directions simultaneously. Perfect for large open areas such as city intersections, parking lots, and building perimeters.
IR Illumination in All Directions
Optimised IR with individually adjustable LEDs provides uniform lighting in all four views. Even in total darkness, the camera maintains clarity without reflections or hotspots.
AI-Powered Video Analytics
Equipped with ARTPEC-8 and DLPU, this camera delivers powerful edge-based deep learning. It detects and classifies humans, vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes), and enables behavioral scene analysis with visual overlays.
Secure by Design
Protected by Axis Edge Vault, it ensures hardware-based encryption, secure boot, signed OS, and secure keystore—guaranteeing system integrity and protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access.
