AXIS P85 Network Camera Series
Eye-level covertly mounted cameras for reliable identication.
DATASHEET
> Sharp images for 
identication and 
overview
> Excellent video 
quality including 
HDTV 720p
> Multiple H.264 video 
streams
The eye-level cameras come installed in a pipe at a height of 160 cm (5.2 ft.) and oer a covert indoor 
video surveillance that blends in with any retail, hotel and banking environment.
Designed for placement near exits of buildings, the height 
of AXIS P85 Network Cameras are optimized in such a 
way that it looks straight at the face of people, allowing 
reliable identication even if the person is wearing a 
hood or baseball cap. The covert cameras are almost  
impossible to discover, keeping them protected from 
tampering and enabling them to provide perfect shots 
thanks to the eye-level placement. 
Providing excellent video quality at full frame rate, the 
camera series consists of AXIS P8513 with SVGA resolution and AXIS P8514, which supports 1 megapixel and 
HDTV 720p in both H.264 and Motion JPEG streams. 
The camera appears as a rounded height strip if the  
included decal is used, and the round shape allows for an 
optimized angle of view and adjustment, by simply rotating the pipe. The height indicator decal also helps to further hide the camera pinhole. This shape is unique compared to competitive solutions, which are often squarely 
mounted on the wall or door frame.
AXIS P85 cameras are designed for quick installation. The 
cameras come with a 1.3 meter (4.3 ft.) pre-mounted  
Ethernet cable with a female connector. AXIS P8513/ 
P8514 comes in three colors: black, white and chrome to 
blend perfectly into environments where there are similar 
type of pipes, such as water and electrical pipes and 
sprinkler, heating system pipes.
