Key Features
Resolution
Dual-sensor design (two simultaneous streams): Wide-angle channel (8 MP): up to 3840×2160 (4K/UHD); sensor 1/1.2” progressive scan RGB CMOS; pixel size 2.9 μm. Lenses (by variant):
Close-up channel (2 MP): up to 1920×1080 (1080p); sensor 1/2.8” progressive scan RGB CMOS.
• P1518-E (no IR): Wide-angle varifocal 5.9–13.8 mm (F1.5–2.9); Close-up varifocal 10.9–29 mm (F1.7).
• P1518-LE (with IR): Wide-angle fixed 5.85 mm (F1.5); Close-up varifocal 10.9–29 mm (F1.7).
Remote commissioning: remote focus (both channels); remote zoom applies to the close-up (10.9–29 mm) lens.
IR Illumination
P1518-LE: OptimizedIR with power-efficient 850 nm IR LEDs; stated reach 50 m (164 ft) or more (scene dependent); 0 lux with IR on. P1518-E: No built-in IR (typically paired with external illuminators if required). Minimum illumination (both variants, stated): Wide-angle 0.05 lux (colour) / 0.01 lux (B/W); Close-up 0.06 lux (colour) / 0.01 lux (B/W) (50 IRE).
Dynamic Range
Forensic WDR: up to 120 dB (scene dependent) on both variants, with Lightfinder 2.0 for strong colour/contrast in challenging light.
Artificial Intelligence
ARTPEC-8 SoC with DLPU (Deep Learning Processing Unit) for edge processing, with AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled (AI classification at the edge).
Analytics
AXIS Object Analytics (preinstalled): detection/classification for humans and vehicles (including vehicle types such as cars/buses/trucks/bikes/other), with scenarios such as line crossing, object in area, time in area, crossline counting, occupancy, tailgating detection, and more (up to 10 scenarios). Also includes AXIS Scene Metadata, Video Motion Detection, and tamper-related event support; close-up channel supports specialist apps such as AXIS License Plate Verifier (when used on the tele/close-up channel).
Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure key storage and operations; supports signed OS/firmware integrity features, secure boot, and enterprise controls such as HTTPS/TLS and 802.1X network access control.
Casing
Outdoor-ready build (both variants): IP66/IP67, IK10, NEMA 4X. Environmental: −40°C to +60°C (full power), −30°C start-up; humidity 10–100% RH (condensing). Wind rating: sustained wind speed 60 m/s (134 mph) (“hurricane wind” class).
Warranty
5-year Axis warranty (standard Axis 5-year warranty eligibility applies based on shipment/purchase conditions).
AXIS P15 Box Camera Series Overview
The AXIS P15 Box Camera Series is a dual-sensor lineup (including P1518-E and P1518-LE) built to deliver two views from one outdoor-ready unit—a 4K/8 MP wide-angle overview alongside a 2 MP close-up stream—so you can monitor the bigger scene while still capturing identification detail on approach. With just one device to mount and maintain, it helps reduce install time and total cost (one network drop, one IP endpoint, and simplified analytics management), and commissioning is faster thanks to remote zoom/focus and P-Iris control on the close-up channel. Image quality is tuned for difficult lighting using Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, while the P1518-LE variant adds OptimizedIR to support monitoring in total darkness without external lighting. For smarter operations, the series includes a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) and comes with AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled to detect, classify, track, and count people and vehicles, plus Zipstream to cut bandwidth and storage without losing forensic detail. It’s also engineered for tough perimeter environments with IP66/IP67, IK10, and NEMA 4X ratings, a wide operating temperature range (down to -40°C with full power), and Axis Edge Vault cybersecurity with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure key storage and operations.
