Overview
AXIS M4227‑LVE delivers sharp 5 MP resolution images (up to 2592×1944) using a 1/2.7″ progressive-scan RGB CMOS sensor paired with a 3.2–7.2 mm varifocal lens (98°–38° horizontal field of view). Remote zoom and focus allow flexible coverage from wide views to detailed close‑ups—all without manual adjustment.
Imaging Performance
Equipped with Lightfinder 2.0 for accurate low-light colour, Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) for high-contrast scenes, and Optimized IR for sharp monochrome imaging in complete darkness. Minimum illumination is approximately 0.13 lux (colour), 0.03 lux (B/W), and 0 lux with IR on.
Edge Processing & Analytics
Powered by the ARTPEC‑8 chip with built-in DLPU, the camera runs AXIS Object Analytics to detect, classify, track, and count humans and vehicles. An integrated microphone enables AXIS Audio Analytics for sound-based alerts and classifications—all handled locally on the edge.
Cybersecurity & Durability
Axis Edge Vault hardware framework enforces secure boot, signed OS, and FIPS 140‑3 Level 3 keystore for boot‑time and runtime integrity. Housed in an IP66 water/dust‑tight and IK10 impact‑resistant enclosure, the camera operates from −30 °C to 50 °C (–22 °F to 122 °F). Includes a built‑in weather shield.
Streaming & Storage Efficiency
Supports H.264 (Baseline, Main, High), H.265 Main Profile, and Motion JPEG. Axis Zipstream optimizes bitrate and storage. Offers up to 20 configurable streams, dynamic VBR/ABR/MBR options, low-latency mode, and built-in microSD storage.
Additional Analytics & Metadata
Also includes AXIS Image Health Analytics to detect tampering or video degradation; Scene Metadata for visual analytics; Live Privacy Shield; and Video Motion Detection. The application platform (ACAP) supports third-party add-ons. ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, T enable VMS integration.
Use Cases
| Scenario |
How the AXIS M4227‑LVE Excels |
| Parking facilities |
Capture wide overviews, then zoom remotely on license plates or individuals; WDR handles glare and shadows. |
| Building perimeter and entrance points |
Detect human or vehicle movement; audio analytics notify on glass break, reverse beeps or raised volume. |
| Public venues & campuses |
AI counts people and tracks flow; audio captures disturbances or emergency alarms for alerts. |
| Retail exteriors & driveways |
Combines high-res video with sound-based detection to differentiate deliveries, traffic or anomalous noises. |
| Construction sites |
Tough IP66/IK10 build withstands harsh conditions; remote focus/zoom adjusts coverage as site layout changes. |
FAQs
Q: Which video and audio analytics are preinstalled?
A: Comes with AXIS Object Analytics (human/vehicle detection, classification, count) and AXIS Audio Analytics (sound detection/classification and volume change). Also includes Image Health Analytics, Scene Metadata, Live Privacy Shield, and Video Motion Detection.
Q: How is image quality in low or high-contrast lighting?
A: Lightfinder 2.0 supports colour at approximately 0.13 lux; Optimized IR covers full darkness; Forensic WDR up to 120 dB ensures clarity in glare or backlit scenes.
Q: Can I adjust the lens remotely?
A: Yes. Remote zoom, focus, pan, tilt and rotation (±180° pan, −10° to +65° tilt, ±180° rotation) can be controlled via web interface or VMS presets. Corridor format, guard tours, and on-screen directional indicators are supported.
Q: What compression and storage options are supported?
A: Supports H.264, H.265, and MJPEG. Zipstream with H.264/H.265 enhances efficiency. Offers VBR, ABR, and MBR streaming modes; up to 20 streams per camera; onboard microSD/SDHC/SDXC storage. ONVIF compliant for VMS flexibility.
Q: What environmental and operational specs?
A: Withstands −30 °C to 50 °C (−22 °F to 122 °F), certified IP66 and IK10, includes weather shield. Designed for outdoor durability.
