Built-in cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault
Built on ARTPEC-9, this robust 8 MP AI-powered camera delivers excellent image quality in any light conditions. It offers accelerated performance to run impressive analytics applications on the edge.
Excellent image quality
AXIS P3278-LV offers excellent image quality and forensic details in 8 MP under any light conditions. Thanks to Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR, it ensures true colors and great detail in near darkness or challenging light. And OptimizedIR enables surveillance in pitch darkness without the need for extra lighting. Axis Zipstream with support for AV1, H.264, and H.265 significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image quality. Furthermore, this dome camera features a built-in audio jack, so it’s possible to connect a microphone for audio support.

Powerful analytics
Featuring a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), this AI-based camera runs advanced features and powerful analytics on the edge. It comes with AXIS Object Analytics to detect, classify, track, and count humans. Now combined with ARTPEC 9, this application offers enhanced performance with greater accuracy. In addition, AXIS Image Health Analytics comes preinstalled, so you’ll be notified if your image is blocked, degraded, under-exposed, or redirected. And, with AXIS Live Privacy Shield, it’s easy to remotely monitor activities while protecting privacy.

Robust with strong security
This robust, IK10- and NEMA 4X-rated camera is both vandal- and impact-resistant. And a built-in intrusion switch can detect tampering. Axis Edge Vault, our hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. It also offers secure key storage with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure cryptographic key storage and operations. What’s more, this dome camera is easy to install, maintain, and operate.
