Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the P3738-PLE are four 1/2.8" RGB CMOS image sensors that collectively produce 32 megapixels of effective resolution. Each sensor works with a varifocal lens offering a 2.5x optical zoom range from 3.2 mm to 8.1 mm, with apertures from f/1.9 to f/3.2. This optical flexibility allows precise framing adjustment during installation. The camera records at up to 15 frames per second in 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160), balancing smooth motion capture with detailed imagery.
Network connectivity is handled through Gigabit Ethernet with comprehensive protocol support including IPv4/IPv6, ONVIF, RTSP, and HTTPS encryption. The camera's deep learning capabilities enable intelligent video analytics such as human detection, vehicle detection, and motion detection directly at the edge. Storage expansion is available via memory card, while remote management features allow administrators to configure and monitor the camera from any network location.
Key Product Advantages
The P3738-PLE delivers multiple advantages for security professionals seeking reliable outdoor surveillance.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the effective resolution of the AXIS P3738-PLE camera?
The AXIS P3738-PLE delivers 32 megapixels of effective resolution through its four independent image sensors. This high resolution enables detailed imaging for identification purposes, with each sensor contributing to the overall panoramic view. The camera captures sufficient detail to recognize faces, read license plates, and monitor activity at distance when integrated with appropriate video management systems.
How does the night vision perform in complete darkness?
The camera features advanced infrared night vision that provides clear monochrome imaging in total darkness up to 49.21 feet (15 meters). Built-in IR LEDs illuminate the surveillance area without visible light, making the camera discreet for nighttime operation. The 0 lux minimum illumination specification means the camera requires no ambient light to produce usable video, ensuring reliable 24/7 monitoring capability.
What mounting options are available for this dome camera?
The P3738-PLE supports bracket mounting, junction box mounting, and conduit mounting configurations. The 10-inch diameter dome housing includes integrated mounting points for secure installation on walls, ceilings, or poles. The camera's impact-resistant construction and IP66/67 rating ensure it remains protected against environmental elements regardless of mounting orientation or location.
Does this camera support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the AXIS P3738-PLE is PoE-powered, drawing both data connectivity and electrical power through a single Gigabit Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power wiring near the camera location. The camera has a maximum power consumption of 25.50 watts, which falls within the capabilities of standard PoE+ (802.3at) switches and injectors.
What video formats does the camera support for recording?
The camera supports Motion JPEG, H.265 (HEVC) Main Profile, and multiple H.264 profiles including H.264B, H.264H, and H.264M. This format flexibility allows integration with various video management systems and efficient bandwidth utilization. H.265 compression provides approximately 50% bandwidth savings compared to H.264 while maintaining similar video quality, making it ideal for high-resolution 4K streaming.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor installation in harsh environments?
Absolutely. The P3738-PLE carries IP66 and IP67 ingress protection ratings, making it completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets and temporary immersion. The IK09 impact rating ensures resistance to physical impacts up to 5 joules. With an operating temperature range of -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C), the camera performs reliably in extreme weather conditions from freezing winters to hot summers.
