With four camera heads in one body, AXIS P3707-PE is cost-effective, not only when compared with the price of four standard varifocal cameras of comparable performance. Installation is made easier with only one network cable instead of four. One cable also reduces the number of ports required on a switch. And the camera’s one IP address means it requires only one software license fee (instead of four) with most video management systems. In addition, the camera is powered through Power over Ethernet, which eliminates the need to access a nearby power outlet. AXIS P3707-PE also has low power consumption, using max. 5.5 W.

The camera supports Axis’ Zipstream Technology, which is beneficial when streaming 8-megapixel videos. Zipstream is a more efficient implementation of the H.264 video encoder. It can lower bandwidth and storage use by an average of 50% or more for many surveillance scenarios. The encoding technology ensures that important details are maintained while unnecessary data is heavily compressed.

Each varifocal lens of AXIS P3707-PE allows installers to optimize the field of view to meet the surveillance requirement: wide for overview surveillance, and telephoto for zoomed-in views when greater detail is needed. For optimal positioning, each camera head has the flexibility to slide +/-90° along a circular track. Each also has a tilt of 28° to 92°. For capturing vertically oriented scenes such as long corridors and roads, each camera head can rotate 90° to support Axis Corridor Format.

Two capture modes

AXIS P3707-PE lets you set the video capture mode for each camera head individually, enabling you to prioritize resolution or frame rate for each of the four scenes. A capture mode determines the maximum resolution and frame rate to be streamed. 

The 1080p capture mode enables a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 12.5/15 frames per second (50/60 Hz). It also supports a horizontal field of view of 108° when the camera lens is at its widest position. At the max. telephoto position, it has a 54° horizontal field of view.
