The Axis M3215‑LVE combines high‑quality imaging and AI analytics in a sturdy IK10/IP66 weather‑proof dome housing. Equipped with a 1/2.9″ progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor and a fixed 3.1 mm lens (F2.0, 101°×55° field of view), it delivers crisp Full HD (1080p) video at up to 30 fps.
Thanks to Lightfinder, it captures colour imagery down to ~0.14 lux. In complete darkness, OptimizedIR enables monochrome footage with IR illumination effective up to ~30 m. When scenes contain both bright and dark areas, Forensic WDR (up to ~120 dB) ensures excellent contrast and detail. Zipstream compression (H.264, H.265) optimizes bandwidth and storage without compromising image quality.
Built on ARTPEC‑8, the camera includes a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DLPU) enabling AXIS Object Analytics for real-time detection and classification of people and vehicles at the edge. Metadata facilitates fast searches and forensic review. Support for ACAP v4 allows installation of custom deep‑learning apps.
The camera supports audio and I/O connectivity, allowing integration of microphones and use of audio analytics (e.g. aggressive behaviour detection). It supports PoE (Class 3), simplifies installation, and includes Axis Edge Vault with signed OS, secure boot, and hardware secure element for cybersecurity protection. Tested to –40 °C to +50 °C operational range, the unit is designed for repainting, with sustainability compliance (PVC‑free, BFR/CFR‑free). Comes with a 5‑year warranty.
