Axis P3278-LV 8MP Fixed Dome Camera – Varifocal 4.4-14.6mm

Professional 8MP fixed dome camera with varifocal lens (4.4-14.6mm, F1.8) and remote zoom and focus control. The Axis P3278-LV combines Lightfinder for exceptional light sensitivity, built-in IR illumination with OptimizedIR, and WDR Forensic Capture for sharp images in all lighting conditions — from bright light to near total darkness. P-Iris control automatically optimizes the aperture setting for maximum image sharpness and depth. Zipstream significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, while IK10 vandal resistance makes the camera suitable for demanding installations.

Main features:

• 8MP image quality – High resolution for maximum detail; significantly more detail than 2MP, 4MP, or 5MP cameras for identification at greater distances
• Varifocal lens 4.4-14.6mm (F1.8) with remote zoom and focus – Wide zoom range adjustable remotely without physical access to the camera; ideal for installations in hard-to-reach locations and surveillance at variable distances
• P-Iris control – Automatic optimization of the aperture setting for maximum image sharpness, contrast, and depth in all lighting conditions
• Lightfinder – Exceptional light sensitivity for sharp images in minimal lighting
• OptimizedIR – Intelligent infrared illumination that adapts to the zoom level for optimal IR coverage without overexposure
• WDR – Forensic Capture – Wide Dynamic Range for usable images in extreme contrast differences; forensic-quality images in both dark and well-lit areas
• Zipstream (H.264 + H.265) – Significant reduction in bandwidth and storage requirements without loss of image quality at critical moments
• IK10 vandal resistant – Resistant to mechanical impact; suitable for public spaces and installations with increased vandalism risk
• IP52 – Protected against dust and light water droplets; suitable for indoor installations in slightly humid environments
• 1/2.8" progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor – High image quality with minimal motion blur thanks to progressive scan

8MP Varifocal 4.4-14.6mm + Lightfinder + P-Iris – Maximum Image Quality for Demanding Indoor Installations:

The Axis P3278-LV combines high 8MP resolution with a varifocal lens with a wide zoom range (4.4-14.6mm) for maximum installation flexibility: zoom and focus are set remotely without physical access to the camera. P-Iris control automatically optimizes the aperture for maximum sharpness, while Lightfinder and OptimizedIR ensure sharp images from bright lighting to total darkness. WDR Forensic Capture delivers forensic-quality images in extreme contrast conditions, and Zipstream lowers total cost of ownership by significantly reducing storage and bandwidth requirements.

Applications:

Ideal for demanding indoor installations where high resolution and installation flexibility are essential: offices and commercial buildings with surveillance at variable distances (8MP + wide zoom range 4.4-14.6mm), public spaces with increased vandalism risk (IK10), installations in hard-to-reach locations where remote zoom/focus is essential, environments with changing lighting conditions (Lightfinder + OptimizedIR + WDR), and installations with high bandwidth or storage limitations (Zipstream).
