Axis P1518-LE Dual-Sensor PoE Box Outdoor Camera 8MP + 2MP

Dual-Sensor Box Outdoor Camera: 8MP Wide-Angle + 2MP Telephoto Lens in One Housing

The Axis P1518-LE is a unique dual-sensor PoE box outdoor camera that simultaneously delivers an 8MP wide-angle image (5.85mm / 113.8°) and a 2MP telephoto lens image (varifocal 10.9-29mm / 29°-11°) of the same scene. This replaces two separate cameras and significantly lowers the Total Cost of Ownership. Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR (up to 120dB), and OptimizedIR (up to 50m) guarantee excellent image quality in all lighting conditions. ARTPEC-8 with DLPU for advanced edge AI via AXIS Object Analytics. IP66/IP67, NEMA 4X, and IK10 certified, resistant to wind speeds up to 60 m/s.
