Axis Communications 01808-001 Ip Box Camera 5MP

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 01808-001 is a 5-megapixel fixed IP box camera designed for professional surveillance installations requiring wide dynamic range and low-light performance. Built around a 3-8mm varifocal lens configuration, this unit delivers high-resolution image capture in challenging lighting conditions. The box form factor suits installations where the camera body is mounted separately from the lens housing, giving integrators flexibility in aiming and positioning. Security integrators and professional AV contractors are the typical installers for this class of camera.

This camera is suited for indoor and outdoor fixed surveillance applications where lighting conditions vary significantly across the scene. The wide dynamic range capability allows the sensor to retain detail in both bright and shadowed areas simultaneously. Low-light performance makes it appropriate for corridors, entryways, parking structures, and other environments where ambient light is limited or inconsistent. The 5MP resolution supports wide-area coverage without sacrificing image detail for forensic review.

Key Features

• 5-megapixel resolution for high-detail image capture
• 3-8mm varifocal lens range for flexible field-of-view adjustment
• Wide dynamic range (WDR) for scenes with mixed lighting conditions
• Low-light optimized sensor for reduced-ambient-light environments
• IP box camera form factor for flexible mounting and lens interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style IP box camera for use with compatible network video recorders, video management software, and standard CS-mount or C-mount lens systems typically used in professional IP surveillance installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security integrator or qualified low-voltage technician familiar with IP camera systems and structured cabling standards. Power down the network switch port or PoE injector before making cable connections. Ensure the mounting surface is rated to support the camera assembly and any external lens or housing used with this body. Verify network configuration and video management software compatibility before finalizing the installation.
