Axis Communications 02857-001 Modular Ip Camera

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02857-001 is the Axis P1245 Mk II, a modular IP camera unit designed for discrete, flexible surveillance installations. The modular form factor separates the camera head from the main unit, allowing installers to route the sensor into tight spaces, ceilings, walls, or custom enclosures while keeping the processing unit in an accessible location. Suited for professional security integrators and low-voltage technicians, this camera is built for installations where a standard fixed-dome or bullet form factor is impractical.

The P1245 Mk II fits residential and light commercial IP surveillance systems where concealment and placement flexibility are priorities. Typical applications include retail environments, office spaces, and hospitality settings where camera discretion is required. The modular cable between the sensor head and main unit gives installers the freedom to position the lens independently of the electronics, simplifying installation in finished ceilings or architectural spaces.

Key Features

• Modular design separates camera sensor from main processing unit for flexible placement
• IP camera connectivity integrates with standard network video recorder and VMS platforms
• Compact sensor head enables installation in confined or concealed spaces
• Designed for professional low-voltage security installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style modular IP camera for use in professional network video surveillance systems compatible with standard IP camera infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician. Power down the network switch port or disable PoE before connecting or disconnecting the camera. Follow local electrical codes and any applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements during cable routing. Secure all cable runs to prevent strain on the modular connector between the sensor head and main unit.
