AXIS P13 SERIES · NDAA & TAA COMPLIANT
Enterprise Fixed Box Surveillance Powered by Advanced Deep Learning
The AXIS P1388-LE is a top-tier, outdoor-ready 8MP 4K fixed box camera built for exceptional imaging and edge-based intelligence in commercial security environments. Running on the power of the AXIS ARTPEC-8 system-on-chip, this high-end device features a hardware-dedicated Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU). This native processing engine allows for incredibly precise object detection, classification, and metadata extraction, empowering system operators with fast forensic search capabilities and reducing system-wide false alarm events to a minimum.

Intelligent i-CS Optics & Built-In Cybersecurity Protections
The AXIS P1388-LE is equipped with an intelligent i-CS lens that enables automatic motorized zoom, focus, and aperture configuration, significantly speeding up installation and deployment. Under challenging lighting, Lightfinder 2.0 and Forensic WDR capture sharp, low-noise color details even in extreme near-darkness. For maximum platform security, Axis Edge Vault provides a hardware-based cyber protection suite featuring a secure cryptographic compute environment, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified secure storage, and a signed operating system.
Advanced Object Analytics on the Edge
The dedicated hardware DLPU facilitates highly granular AI computing right on-device. The pre-installed AXIS Object Analytics tool classifies humans and vehicles in real-time, delivering immediate alerts and rich metadata tagging while optimizing bandwidth and server CPU loads.
Adaptive Long-Range OptimizedIR
OptimizedIR dynamically adjusts the width and spread of its infrared beam to match the current zoom angle of the i-CS lens. It delivers clear night-vision illumination across open environments up to 80 meters (262 feet) without causing foreground washout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AXIS P1388-LE NDAA compliant for security deployment?
Yes. The AXIS P1388-LE is fully NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. It meets all federal, military, and critical infrastructure regulations, allowing it to be safely proposed for major government tenders.
What are the main benefits of an intelligent i-CS lens?
The i-CS (intelligent CS-mount) lens communicates directly with the AXIS P1388-LE to exchange metadata like focal length, zoom position, and optical distortion factors. This enables automated remote zoom and focus, fast automatic camera setup, and simplified electronic image stabilization.
Can the lens on the AXIS P1388-LE be replaced if required?
Yes. Because it is a modular, CS-mount fixed box camera design, the pre-installed 3.9-10 mm lens can be swapped with other compatible CS-mount or i-CS zoom and telephoto lenses depending on your specialized viewing distance requirements.
What temperature ranges can this outdoor-ready camera withstand?
Equipped with an integrated heater and internal climate control, the rugged IP66/67-rated enclosure ensures complete functionality in extreme weather conditions ranging from -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F).
