The Axis M4215‑LV, part of Axis’s M42 dome series, delivers Full HD (1080p @ 25/30 fps) using a 1/2.8″ progressive scan RGB CMOS sensor and a 3.5–6.6 mm F1.7–2.6 varifocal lens (field of view ~93°–47° horizontal and ~50°–26° vertical) with remote zoom and autofocus for precise installation.
Its imaging is enhanced by Lightfinder, enabling colour video in very low light (~0.14 lux), Forensic WDR (up to ~110 dB) for scenes with extreme contrast, and OptimizedIR with built‑in IR LEDs effective up to ~20 m or more depending on target and scene. Zipstream compresses video (H.264/H.265) efficiently while maintaining detail, and it supports dual cropped view streaming and HDMI out for public display monitoring.
Powered by the CV25 SoC and an onboard Deep Learning Processing Unit, this camera runs AXIS Object Analytics at the edge—classifying people, vehicles, and vehicles types, with metadata enabling efficient forensic search. Compatible with ACAP apps for custom analytics deployment.
Includes HDMI output (1080p @25/30 Hz or 720p @50/60 Hz), audio and I/O support via Portcast technology for two‑way communication or audio analytics, and Axis Edge Vault security featuring signed OS, secure boot, and hardware keystore (CC EAL6+).
Constructed in a rugged IK08 and IP42-rated dome (can be repainted to blend into environments), the camera operates from 0 °C to 45 °C, tolerates high humidity, and includes microSD storage and NAS support. Backed by a five‑year warranty and OS support through December 31, 2031.
Use Cases
-
Retail and Showrooms
Ideal for discreet indoor monitoring where low-light performance, remote varifocal adjustment, and high‑definition analytics are needed.
-
Public Venues or Lobbies
Supports HDMI output for live public display of surveillance feeds or face detection to deter theft.
-
Offices & Corporate Facilities
Compact dome is easy to integrate into ceilings or walls. Deep learning analytics support occupancy and behaviour monitoring.
-
Areas Requiring Vandal Resistance
IK08-rated housing resists tampering; can be painted to suit aesthetic environments.
-
Spaces with Mixed Lighting Conditions
Excellent detail across windows, doors or reflective surfaces thanks to WDR; IR ensures night visibility.
FAQs
Q: What are the low‑light capabilities?
A: Lightfinder delivers colour imagery down to ~0.14 lux. If ambient light drops further, IR illumination brings clear B/W images even in complete darkness (~0.03 lux or 0 lux with IR on).
Q: What is the field of view and focal flexibility?
A: The varifocal lens provides a horizontal view range from ~93° at 3.5 mm to ~47° at 6.6 mm. Remote zoom and autofocus simplify installation.
Q: What analytics are onboard?
A: AXIS Object Analytics runs on the internal DLPU, automatically classifying people and vehicles with metadata tagging—higher-level analytics can be added via ACAP v4.
Q: Does it support HDMI and audio integration?
A: Yes. HDMI output supports 1080p monitors, and the device supports audio and I/O via Portcast devices for two‑way audio or audio analytics.
Q: How robust and secure is the device?
A: The dome is vandal-resistant (IK08), moisture-resistant (IP42), operational in 0–45 °C. Security features include Edge Vault, secure boot, signed OS, and EAL6+ keystore.
