AXIS P3268-LVE 8.3 MP Outdoor 4K Network Camera

The AXIS P3268-LVE is the pinnacle of outdoor surveillance, delivering ultra-high-definition 8.3 megapixel color imagery in a compact dome design built to endure harsh conditions. Engineered for reliable, day-and-night security, this 4K network camera captures crisp details across wide scenes and provides advanced imaging and analytics to help you identify faces, license plates, and events with confidence. With a robust outdoor enclosure, flexible deployment options, and industry-leading Axis technology, the P3268-LVE is ideal for protecting campuses, malls, parking lots, stadiums, airports, and city infrastructure where reliability and image quality matter most.

• The camera delivers stunning 8.3 MP video at 4K resolution for forensic-level detail, enabling precise identification and evidence capture even from long viewing distances. With high-quality color images and smooth motion, it supports critical security tasks from crowd management to incident reconstruction.
• Built for the outdoors, the P3268-LVE features a rugged, weatherproof enclosure with IP66-rated protection against dust and water and IK10-rated impact resistance to withstand vandalism. This enables reliable operation in rain, snow, heat, and dusty environments without compromising image quality.
• Imaging that adapts to challenging lighting: Axis Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and Lightfinder technology provide bright, natural colors in scenes with strong backlight or mixed lighting. Forensic Day/Night capabilities help preserve detail in bright and dark areas, ensuring usable footage around the clock, even when light levels shift dramatically.
• Flexible deployment and efficient bandwidth usage: multiple streams, H.265/H.264 compression, and Axis Zipstream reduce bandwidth and storage needs without sacrificing essential detail. A wide, adjustable field of view via a varifocal lens, corridor format support, and edge analytics options give you versatile installation options for secure monitoring in tight or constrained spaces.
• Security, compliance, and ease of integration: TAA-compliant for government and enterprise deployments, secure firmware with signed updates, and robust encryption options; ONVIF compatibility and seamless integration with Axis and third-party VMS ensure a smooth deployment within existing security ecosystems. MicroSD storage support enables edge recording when network storage isn’t available.

How to install AXIS P3268-LVE

• Plan placement to maximize field of view while minimizing blind spots. Consider lighting, potential glare, and the location of infrared illumination for night coverage.
• Mount the camera using the provided bracket or an approved mounting surface. Ensure the surface is sturdy and able to support the weight of the dome in wind and weather conditions.
• Run network cables and power through a secure conduit. Connect the camera to a PoE-enabled switch or compatible power supply to simplify installation and reduce cable runs.
• Discover and configure the camera: use Axis’ discovery tool or your preferred VMS to locate the device on the network, assign an IP address, install the latest firmware, and set up streams, image settings, and privacy masks as needed.
• Fine-tune image quality and security settings: adjust exposure, WDR, white balance, and frame rate to suit the site. Enable edge-based analytics or privacy masking where appropriate, and verify that alerting and recording are functioning correctly with your security system or VMS.
