With AXIS Object Analytics, the camera can detect, classify, track, and count humans and vehicles at the edge, helping improve event relevance and forensic search efficiency.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 8MP 4K Video: The AXIS M3128-LVE captures up to 3840 × 2160 resolution, delivering excellent 4K image quality for detailed monitoring. This makes it useful for locations where clearer identification, sharper scene detail, and high-quality recorded evidence are important.

• AI-Based Object Analytics: With a built-in DLPU and AXIS Object Analytics preinstalled, the camera can detect, classify, track, and count objects such as humans and vehicles. This helps improve alert relevance, reduce simple motion-based events, and support more efficient live and recorded video search.

• OptimizedIR up to 20m or More: Built-in OptimizedIR enables surveillance in complete darkness up to 20m or more depending on the scene. This helps the camera capture usable black-and-white night footage without relying on external lighting, supporting around-the-clock monitoring.

• Wide Dynamic Range: WDR helps preserve details when both bright and dark areas appear in the same scene. This is especially useful near entrances, windows, glass doors, shaded walkways, loading areas, and outdoor approaches where lighting conditions may change throughout the day.

• 110° Wide-Angle Lens: The 2.9mm fixed lens provides a 110° horizontal field of view, allowing broad scene coverage from a compact turret-style camera. It is well suited to retail interiors, corridors, restaurants, offices, entrances, classrooms, reception areas, and general commercial spaces.

• Axis Edge Vault Cybersecurity: Axis Edge Vault helps safeguard the camera and protect sensitive information from unauthorised access. It supports secure cryptographic key storage and operations with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification, helping meet modern cybersecurity expectations for network surveillance systems.

• Zipstream with H.264 and H.265: Axis Zipstream works with H.264 and H.265 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements while preserving important image detail. This is valuable for 4K surveillance footage, where efficient compression helps manage network and recording load.

• Compact Outdoor-Ready Design: The AXIS M3128-LVE is IP66-rated for weather protection and IK08-rated for impact resistance. Its flat-faced turret-style dome helps suppress light reflections and can be installed indoors or outdoors on walls or ceilings using compatible mounting accessories.

Specifications Summary

Ideal Use Cases

• Retail Stores – Suitable for entrances, aisles, counters, service areas, stock rooms, and customer spaces where 4K image quality and AI object analytics support better monitoring.
• Offices and Reception Areas – Ideal for lobbies, corridors, meeting areas, shared workspaces, internal entries, and visitor zones requiring a discreet camera with wide coverage.
• Schools and Education Sites – Useful for classrooms, hallways, libraries, administration spaces, covered outdoor entries, and shared student areas requiring reliable day/night surveillance.
• Restaurants and Hospitality Venues – A practical option for dining areas, service counters, entrances, stock rooms, kitchens, and outdoor approaches where compact design and wide-angle monitoring are useful.
• Warehouses and Commercial Sites – Suitable for internal aisles, loading areas, pedestrian routes, doors, access points, and general business surveillance where AI-powered event detection can improve awareness.

Understanding the Fixed 2.9mm Wide-Angle Lens

The AXIS M3128-LVE uses a fixed 2.9mm lens rather than a varifocal lens. This means the camera provides a set wide-angle view with no optical zoom adjustment. Its 110° horizontal and 60° vertical field of view makes it well suited to general area monitoring, entrances, corridors, retail spaces, offices, restaurants, and outdoor approaches where broad coverage is more important than long-distance zoom. Digital pan, tilt, and zoom can help inspect the image electronically, but the camera’s physical lens angle remains fixed.

Tip:
Use the AXIS M3128-LVE where a wide 4K overview is needed from a compact dome camera. If the site requires optical zoom or a narrower field of view, consider a varifocal model instead.
