It’s always interesting to see new developments in IP camera technology and Axis’ ‘true’ outdoor P13 models where defiantly a duo that piqued our interest. Eager to take a closer look, we felt it a great opportunity to put one of the units through its paces and showcase the findings in our latest product video. The P1367-E is one of the first outdoor-ready CS-mount cameras from Axis, featuring a unique mechanical platform and the ability to function in even the most extreme temperatures – ranging from as low as -40°C and as high as 60°C (intermittently). This featured packed unit also includes a range of advanced imaging technologies and is an ideal choice for high-quality, round-the-clock surveillance.
The P1367-E delivers detailed 5 megapixel video at up to 25 frames per second (fps) and offers a horizontal viewing angle of up to 83°. With support for both CS- and intelligent CS-mount (i-CS) lenses, the unit’s innovative built-in camera rail system gives you the flexibility to fit larger zoom lenses when different focal lengths are required. In addition, the rail system also allows you to easily roll the sensor to enable Corridor Format – maximising area coverage and reducing bandwidth when monitoring narrow scenes.
This unit also includes Forensic WDR (wide dynamic range) technology which is optimised for motion and helps to retain detail across images with high contrast lighting, whilst ensuring that few motion artefacts are apparent during high levels of activity. As light levels drop, Axis’ Lightfinder technology allows the camera to continue to deliver full colour video. If light drops even further, an integrated IR-cut filter produces clear black-and-white images – for 24-hour monitoring. In addition, this model also comes with an adjustable weather shield, providing the lens with added protection against heavy rain and sun beams.
Additional features found in the Axis P1367-E include: –
The network camera was installed in our testing space, where we collected footage from the daytime, night-time and in black and white mode. Watch our bitesize demo video below to see the results.
Please note that footage was captured at HD 1080p for editing reasons.
During the daytime, the Axis P1367-E captured clear, highly-detailed video with finely balanced colour and contrast levels – all at a consistent 25 frames per second. At night, we can see Axis’ Lightfinder technology in full effect – resulting in bright, full colour images that feature minimal noise. In its monochrome state, the camera was able to maintain reduced exposure levels and handle light from passing cars reasonably well.
With its powerful 5 megapixel resolution, advanced imaging technologies and robust housing, the Axis P1367-E delivers a highly-detailed and reliable monitoring solution that is optimum for exposed outdoor areas. In addition, thanks to its innovative rail design, you have to flexibility to fit different lenses to suit a wide range of applications, such as loading bays, service stations and manufacturing warehouses.
