AXIS P13 Network Camera Series comprises of indoor and outdoor-ready xed cameras that deliver
superb image quality with H.264 compression and are ideal for high-performance surveillance in any
indoor or outdoor environment. The megapixel models also deliver HDTV 720p/1080p video.
AXIS P13 Series oers cameras supporting a range of
resolutions up to 5-megapixel with AXIS P1347 and
AXIS P1347-E cameras. Models are available in both
indoor and “-E” outdoor-ready versions. The cameras
provide wide dynamic range, and day and night
functionality for superb image quality in daylight and
dark conditions.
The 3- and 5-megapixel cameras also oer the unique
and revolutionary P-Iris control, which allows the
cameras to precisely control the iris position to optimize
depth of eld and lens resolution for optimal image
sharpness.
All AXIS P13 cameras deliver multiple H.264 and Motion
JPEG video streams. H.264 greatly reduces bandwidth
and storage needs without compromising image quality.
The SVGA and megapixel models have a remote back
focus function that enables the focus to be ne-tuned
from a computer. The same models also oer digital
pan/tilt/zoom, and the 3- and 5-megapixel cameras
additionally provide multi-view streaming.
AXIS P13 cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE)
for easy installation. The outdoor-ready models operate
using PoE and High PoE in temperatures from -40 ºC to
50 ºC (-40 ºF to 122 ºF).
> Outdoor-ready models
High-performance indoor/outdoor cameras
AXIS P13 Series oers xed network cameras suitable for a range of video surveillance applications, including
government and industrial buildings, retail environments, airports, railway stations and schools.
Easy installation with focus assistant,
remote focus and pixel counter
Setting the focus on all AXIS P13 cameras is made easy with the focus
assistant, which indicates with a ashing green LED when an image is
in focus after manually adjusting the lens. Additionally, the SVGA and
megapixel models oer remote back focus, which allows the focus to
be ne-tuned from a computer. The pixel counter further helps the
installer verify that the pixel resolution of an object fullls regulatory
or customer requirements, for example, for facial identication.
Digital PTZ and multi-view streaming
The SVGA and megapixel camera models support digital pan/tilt/
zoom, which allows a selected area of interest to be cropped from
the full view for viewing or recording, thereby minimizing the bit rate
and storage needs. The 3- and 5-megapixel cameras also support
multi-view streaming, which allows several cropped view areas to be
streamed simultaneously, simulating up to eight virtual cameras.
Outdoor-ready models
AXIS P13-E Network Cameras save
installation time and costs since
they are ready out of the box for
mounting outdoors. The IP66-rated
cameras have protection against
dust, rain, snow and sunlight, and
can operate in temperatures as low
as -40 ºC (-40 ºF). The cameras are
powered by Power over Ethernet,
which makes installation easy since
there is no need for a separate power cable. An integrated dehumidifying
membrane eliminates any humidity caught in the camera enclosure during
installation. The cameras enable easy mounting of an infrared illuminator
under the enclosure. They come with a wall mount bracket, sunshield and
cable glands.

P-Iris control
The 3-megapixel A XIS P1346/-E and the 5-megapixel AXIS P1347/-E
cameras feature a new and advanced precise iris control, P-Iris, that
sets new image quality standards for xed cameras. It comprises a
special P-Iris lens together with specialized software in the camera
to enable the camera to set the best iris position for optimal image
contrast, clarity, resolution, and depth of eld. Having good depth of
eld—where objects at dierent distances from the camera are in focus
simultaneously—allows more of a scene to be clearly visible.
Multiple virtual camera views
(up to eight views possible)
P-Iris is especially benecial for megapixel cameras as it can help the
cameras maintain the delivery of crisp, high-resolution images, even in
dicult lighting situations. P-Iris uses the same type of connector and
cable as the traditional DC-iris control, which is also supported by the
3- and 5-megapixel cameras for backward compatibility.
