AXIS P3278-LV 8MP Indoor IR Dome IP Camera With 4.4–14.6mm Lens

AXIS P3278-LV Dome IP Camera

The AXIS P3278-LV dome IP camera provides 8MP indoor surveillance with a remotely adjustable 4.4–14.6mm varifocal lens. Its ARTPEC-9 processor runs analytics directly on the device. Lightfinder 2.0, Forensic WDR, and OptimizedIR support monitoring across changing light levels, including complete darkness with infrared illumination enabled.

For indoor business security monitoring and detailed entrance surveillance, the adjustable lens lets installers choose broad coverage or a narrower view. Remote zoom and focus simplify setup after mounting. AXIS Object Analytics detects and classifies people and vehicles, while counting and area-monitoring scenarios help turn recorded activity into useful operational information.

The IK10-rated housing resists impact, and an intrusion switch detects casing tampering. Axis Edge Vault protects device identity and cryptographic keys. AV1, H.264, and H.265 compression work with Zipstream to manage bandwidth and storage demand. Audio input, alarm connections, and ONVIF integration support professional installations, while AXIS Live Privacy Shield adds configurable masking for privacy-sensitive monitoring.
