AXIS P3737-PLE Panoramic Camera

Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

Ideal for wide-area surveillance, this multidirectional camera delivers excellent overviews and detailed coverage. With highly efficient power consumption, it ensures sustainable surveillance with lower operating costs.
Wide area surveillance with high-quality overview - 24/7
AXIS P3737-PLE offers four channels with 5 MP per channel at 20 fps letting you capture both wide-angle and zoomed-in, detailed views. It includes day/night functionality and 360° IR illumination with individually controllable LEDs and a removable IR cut filter. So, you’ll enjoy clear, reflection-free footage and excellent image quality even in low light or complete darkness. Plus, Forensic WDR ensures clarity when there’s both dark and light areas in the scene. Furthermore, it’s possible to run metadata and AXIS Object Analytics streams on multiple channels so you can detect and classify people and vehicles, for instance entering a user-defined area. This makes it possible to count selected objects in an area of interest and trigger an alarm if a threshold is exceeded.
Brilliant Design
This compact camera offers various mounting options. For instance, it can be recessed mounted for discreet surveillance or mounted in ceilings for complete 360° coverage. When mounted on corners, it offers 270° coverage. Featuring a tamper-resistant casing and integrated IP66-/IP67-rated weather shield, it’s protected against rain, snow, and sunlight—ideal for outdoor wall mounting. In addition, all four varifocal camera heads can be moved and rotated to provide the optimal field of view. Plus, each head can be controlled individually so you can monitor scenes in four directions. The camera’s sensors can also be twisted, so two camera heads can be positioned closer together where one captures the wide view and the other zooms in on the same target.
Cost-efficient and secure
With four camera heads in one camera, AXIS P3737-PLE ensures fast, accurate, and cost-effective installation. That’s because there’s only one camera to install, one cable to draw, one IP address, and one video management software (VMS) license. Plus, it offers market-leading energy consumption compared to multiple single-sensor cameras—even with IR enabled. This ensures sustainable surveillance with lower operating costs. Thanks to remote zoom and focus capabilities, it eliminates the need for hands-on fine-tuning. Furthermore, Axis Zipstream significantly lowers bandwidth and storage requirements. And Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform, safeguards the device and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.
Deep learning analytics
Built on ARTPEC-8, this high-performance camera features a deep learning processing unit (DLPU) eliminating the need for expensive servers and allowing for a faster and more scalable system. Plus, it improves processing capabilities so you can collect and analyze even more data than before—on the edge. This helps ensure fast, easy, and efficient forensic search capabilities in live or recorded video. Thanks to AXIS Object Analytics, it can detect and classify people and vehicles. Furthermore, with support for ACAP version 4, you can add value to your system with tailor-made applications based on deep learning on the edge available from Axis and our partners.
