Ideal for building and perimeter protection, this dual-sensor, AI-powered box camera offers both wide-angle and close-up views of the same scene. It delivers excellent image quality under challenging light conditions.

Excellent wide-angle and close-up images 24/7

AXIS P1518-E lets you see it all. With two sensors, you get both wide-angle and close-up views of the same scene. One 1/1.2” image sensor offers exceptional low-light sensitivity and 8 MP at 30 fps for excellent wide-angle images . The other 1/2.8” sensor delivers 2 MP at 60 fps for close-up images without motion blur. It’s perfect at entrances and property fences, where you can monitor the wide-angle overview and get a close-up view of anyone approaching. In addition, Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR ensure true colors and great forensic detail in challenging light or near darkness.
