Best Fit & Recommended For
Axis P4707-PLVE — 10MP (2 × 5MP) Multi-Sensor Multidirectional with 360° IR
The Axis P4707-PLVE is a 10MP dual-sensor multidirectional camera from Axis Communications’ P4 series — two independent 5MP sensors with motorized varifocal heads combine into 180° dual-direction coverage with 360° IR illumination for Chicago corner-building positions, T-intersections, parking-lot edges, and building corners where one camera should cover two zones of interest at roughly perpendicular angles. The P4707-PLVE combines 2 × 5MP sensors (1/2.7” CMOS each, 3.26–8.12 mm motorized varifocal with 2.5× zoom), Lightfinder, Forensic WDR per sensor, 360° IR with individually controllable LEDs, Zipstream H.265, ARTPEC-8 chipset with AXIS Object Analytics on the deep-learning processing unit, IK10 / IP66 / IP67 housing, and −30 °C to +50 °C operation. Single IP address for both sensors simplifies network configuration.
Where the P4707-PLVE Wins in Chicago
- Corner-building positions where one camera covers two perpendicular building faces
- T-intersection and parking-lot-edge positions where dual-direction coverage matters
- Loading-dock and personnel-door pairs with simultaneous dual coverage from one position
- Multi-tenant residential building corners covering parking lots + walkway
- Hospital ambulance bay + side-entrance dual coverage
- Education facility building corners covering two perimeter zones
- Hospitality entrance + drive-up coverage from one corner camera
- Industrial / warehouse corners covering two yard zones
- Federal / government facility corners with IK10 vandal + dual-direction coverage
- Property management portfolios standardizing on corner-building deployments
P4707-PLVE vs. P3737-PLE
| Feature | P4707-PLVE (this) | P3737-PLE |
|---|---|---|
| Sensors | 2 × 5MP | 4 × 5MP |
| Total resolution | 10 MP | 20 MP |
| Coverage | 180° dual-direction | 360° (ceiling) / 270° (corner) |
| Vandal rating | IK10 | IK09 |
| Best fit | Corner-building, T-intersection, parking-lot edge | Wide-area perimeter, parking deck, plaza overview |
Multi-Sensor vs. Fisheye for Compact Coverage
For compact spaces where one fisheye camera suffices (lobbies, retail floors, transit interiors), step down to the M3057-PLR Mk II (single-sensor 6MP fisheye, ~$ much lower cost). The P4707-PLVE wins when higher pixel density per zone matters AND the position has two distinct zones of interest where dual-sensor independent positioning delivers real value over single-sensor fisheye dewarp.
360° IR with Individually Controllable LEDs
The P4707-PLVE’s IR illumination ring around the housing is individually controllable per LED — the camera can illuminate just the actual coverage zones (where the two sensor heads point) rather than uniformly across all 360°. Saves IR power, reduces light-pollution side effects, and concentrates IR intensity on the actually-covered zones for better identification quality.
