AXIS P3268-LV 8.3 MP Indoor 4K Network Camera – Dome, TAA Compliant

Experience ultra‑crisp, color‑accurate surveillance with the AXIS P3268-LV, a high‑performance indoor 4K network camera designed for demanding environments. This compact dome camera blends 8.3 megapixels of breathtaking detail with efficient compression and robust construction, delivering pristine 4K imagery at frame rates that keep pace with real‑time activity. The P3268‑LV is engineered for retail, offices, schools, and other indoor spaces where security is a priority and space is at a premium. Its discreet dome form blends into ceilings and walls while producing wide coverage, dependable night vision, and reliable performance day or night. With TAA compliance, this camera meets procurement standards in many regions and integrates smoothly into Axis infrastructure for scalable surveillance.

• The AXIS P3268-LV captures 8.3 MP color video at up to 3840 x 2160 resolution, delivering extraordinary detail that helps identify faces, license plates, and other critical details at a distance. With a maximum frame rate of 30 fps, motion appears smooth and natural, making it easier to analyze activity in busy environments. The 4K image quality supports enhanced zooming and cropping in post‑production without sacrificing clarity, enabling precise situational awareness and evidence collection.
• Flexible optics with a 4.30 mm to 8.60 mm varifocal lens provide versatile coverage for a range of indoor spaces. The camera features a 2x optical zoom, allowing you to narrow focus and capture critical details without relocating the device. This adaptability is ideal for storefronts, lobbies, hallways, and large indoor areas where field of view needs can change over time or with different assignments.
• Advanced video compression includes H.265, H.264, and Zipstream, which optimize bandwidth and storage consumption while preserving image quality. Zipstream intelligently reduces data from regions with little activity, enabling longer retention and more efficient archival without compromising the level of detail needed for investigations. This makes the P3268-LV a practical choice for facilities that require high‑quality surveillance while controlling ongoing operating costs.
• Durable, vandal‑resistant indoor design with IK10 certification helps the camera withstand tampering or incidental contact in busy public or commercial spaces. The dome housing maintains a clean, low‑profile appearance while offering robust protection against impact. The camera’s indoor orientation is ideal for controlled environments where weatherproofing isn’t required, and the compact form factor supports flexible mounting options for ceiling or wall installations.
• Designed for seamless integration within the Axis ecosystem, the P3268-LV emphasizes easy deployment, intuitive configuration, and reliable operation. Its color performance, night vision capability, and support for standard network protocols align with common enterprise security deployments, enabling straightforward scaling from a single camera to a comprehensive multi‑camera surveillance solution. The TAA compliance further broadens procurement opportunities for government and enterprise customers seeking standardized, reputable hardware.

How to Install AXIS P3268-LV

• Plan your installation by assessing room dimensions, traffic flow, and potential points of vulnerability to determine the optimal mounting location and field of view. Consider line of sight, lighting conditions, and potential glare to maximize image quality and coverage.
• Mount the dome camera securely using the included hardware and compatible mounting brackets for ceiling or wall installation. Ensure the surface is solid and that any cables are routed to a protected conduit or raceway to minimize tampering or accidental damage.
• Connect the camera to your network and power source as dictated by your infrastructure. Configure network settings—such as IP address, gateway, and DNS—through the AXIS web interface or your preferred Axis management tool. If you use Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensure the switch or injector provides sufficient power for stable operation and optimal performance.
• Access the camera’s web UI to perform initial setup: set resolution to 3840 x 2160, select H.265/H.264/Zipstream encoding, and enable 30 fps for smooth motion. Calibrate exposure, white balance, and any region‑of‑interest (ROI) features to balance performance in varying lighting conditions. Activate IR night vision as needed for low‑light coverage.
• Test the installation by walking through the monitored area to confirm coverage and adjust the lens focus and tilt as necessary. Validate recordings, playback, and alert settings (motion, tamper, or line crossing) to ensure your security workflow is aligned with operational needs. Document the configuration for future maintenance and firmware updates.
