The Axis M3216‑LVE delivers exceptional 4 MP resolution (2688 × 1512 @30 fps) using a 1/2.7″ progressive scan CMOS sensor and fixed 2.9 mm F2.0 lens (≈102° × 73° field of view) for wide-area capture.
Advanced imaging features include Lightfinder for vivid colour at 0.16 lux, Forensic WDR (~120 dB) for challenging lighting, and OptimizedIR enabling visibility up to ~30 m in darkness. Axis Zipstream (H.264/H.265) reduces bandwidth and storage without compromising quality.
Built on ARTPEC‑8, it features a Deep Learning Processing Unit that runs AXIS Object Analytics on the edge, detecting and classifying people, vehicles, and vehicle types and producing searchable metadata. Supports ACAP v4 for custom edge applications.
The device includes audio input and I/O ports for microphone attachment or audio analytics. Security-hardened with Axis Edge Vault, secure boot, signed OS, and secure keystore (CC EAL6+) ensures tamper resistance.
Encased in a weatherproof, IK10-rated housing (IP66, NEMA 4X), it’s built to withstand harsh outdoor environments and supports repainting. Operational range spans -40 °C to +50 °C with humidity tolerance up to 100% condensing. Includes a 5‑year warranty and firmware/software support through December 31, 2031.

FAQs
Q: What is the camera’s low-light performance?
A: Colour imagery is clear down to ~0.16 lux using Lightfinder. In total darkness, OptimizedIR activates for up to ~30 m B/W visibility.
Q: What is Forensic WDR?
A: A wide dynamic range mode (approx. 120 dB) that ensures both bright and dark areas of the same scene remain visible and detailed.
Q: What kind of analytics does it include?
A: AXIS Object Analytics is built in and runs on the embedded DLPU for classifying people, vehicles, and vehicle types, with searchable video metadata.
Q: Does it support audio integration?
A: Yes—it offers a 3.5 mm stereo audio input and I/O ports for use with microphones or audio analytics.
Q: How secure and durable is the device?
A: Designed with robust physical protection (IK10, IP66/NEMA 4X) and cybersecurity features including secure boot, signed firmware, Axis Edge Vault, and a secure hardware keystore (EAL6+).
Q: What mounting and environmental specs are supported?
A: Pan/tilt/rotation: ±190° pan, -10° to +80° tilt, ±190° rotation. Rated for extreme conditions (-40 °C to +50 °C), microSD card support, internal NAS recording, and encryption support.
