Overview
AXIS M4228‑LVE captures ultra‑high‑definition 8 MP video (3840×2160) using a 1/2.8″ progressive-scan RGB CMOS sensor with 1.45 µm pixels, paired with a 3.2–7.2 mm varifocal, IR‑corrected lens offering horizontal field of view from 100° to 38°. Remote zoom and focus give flexible scene control from wide overview to detailed close‑up.
Imaging Performance
Equipped with Lightfinder 2.0 for low‑light colour imaging, Forensic WDR up to 120 dB for high‑contrast scenes, and Optimized IR for clear monochrome video in total darkness. Minimum illumination: 0.14 lux in colour, 0.03 lux in B/W, and 0 lux with IR active.
Edge Processing & Analytics
Based on the ARTPEC‑8 SoC with built‑in DLPU, the camera runs AXIS Object Analytics for detection, classification, counting, and tracking of people and vehicles. It also includes a built‑in microphone for AXIS Audio Analytics, capable of detecting, classifying, and alerting on sounds or sudden volume changes—all processed on the edge.
Cybersecurity & Durability
Built on the Axis Edge Vault platform including secure boot, signed OS, and a FIPS 140‑3 Level 3 Certified secure element. The IP66/IP67 water/dust proof and IK10 impact-resistant housing operates in temperatures from −30 °C to 50 °C (−22 °F to 122 °F). A built-in weathershield adds extra protection.
Video Streaming & Compression
Supports H.264 (Baseline/Main/High) and H.265 Main Profile, plus MJPEG. Axis Zipstream reduces bandwidth/storage while maintaining image quality. The camera can deliver up to 20 configurable streams with VBR, ABR, MBR and low-latency streaming options.
Additional Analytics & Metadata
Includes Image Health Analytics to detect tampering or degraded video, Scene Metadata, Live Privacy Shield, and Video Motion Detection. Supports ONVIF Profiles G, M, S, T and third-party apps via ACAP.
Use Cases
| Scenario |
Why AXIS M4228‑LVE Performs Well |
| Parking lots & perimeter |
Capture large areas in 4K, then zoom remotely on plates or persons. WDR handles lighting challenges. Audio detects glass break, alarms, engine reverse sounds. |
| Public venues & campuses |
AI counts and tracks movements; Audio Analytics alerts to abnormal sounds or crowd disturbances. |
| Retail exteriors & driveways |
Differentiates deliveries versus customer traffic via image and sound. High resolution aids forensic review. |
| Construction & industrial sites |
Rugged IP66/67 and IK10 protection; remote lens control adapts to evolving site layout, with AI alerts for unauthorized entry. |
FAQs
Q: What analytics are included out of the box?
A: Preinstalled AXIS Object Analytics (person/vehicle detection, classification, counting) and AXIS Audio Analytics (sound detection and classification). Also includes Image Health Analytics, Scene Metadata, Live Privacy Shield, and Video Motion Detection.
Q: How does it perform in low or high-contrast lighting?
A: Lightfinder 2.0 supports vibrant colour imaging at 0.14 lux; Optimized IR ensures clear monochrome in complete darkness; and Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) handles challenging light imbalance.
Q: Is remote lens adjustment supported?
A: Yes. The device supports remote zoom, focus, pan (±180°), tilt (‑10° to +65°), and rotation (±180°). Corridor format, guard tours, presets, and directional indicators are available.
