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.

Smart investment: cost-efficient and robust

AXIS P1518-E offers easy installation with lower total cost of ownership. With two sensors in one camera, there’s only one camera to install, one cable to draw, one IP address, one VMS license, and one license for any analytics you choose to install. Plus, you only need to maintain one camera. Thanks to remote zoom and focus capabilities, it ensures fast and accurate installation. Robust and outdoor-ready, it can be installed, for instance, at intersections to monitor traffic flow and capture vehicle details. Furthermore, this IP66-, IP67-, IK10- and NEMA 4X-rated camera can withstand hurricane winds up to 60 m/s (134 mph).
