Why Choose the AXIS M4328-P

The AXIS M4328-P is ideal for customers who need broad indoor visibility from a discreet camera without installing multiple conventional cameras. Its 12MP fisheye sensor and stereographic lens deliver a full panoramic overview, while customisable dewarped views and digital PTZ allow users to focus on key areas within the scene. Deep learning analytics help detect and classify relevant activity directly on the camera, improving search, alerts, and situational awareness. Lightfinder and Forensic WDR support useful footage in challenging indoor lighting, while digital roll makes installation easier by allowing the camera overview rotation to be adjusted remotely after mounting.

Key Capabilities

Key Features

• 12MP Fisheye Overview: The AXIS M4328-P captures up to 2992 × 2992 resolution, delivering a detailed panoramic image from a single compact camera. This helps monitor large indoor areas with fewer cameras while maintaining a broad view for live monitoring and recorded evidence.

• 180° or 360° Coverage: The camera can provide 180° or 360° panoramic views depending on the mounting position and configuration. This helps eliminate blind spots in indoor spaces such as retail floors, reception areas, offices, classrooms, corridors, hospitality venues, and shared public areas.

• Stereographic 1.2mm Lens: The 1.2mm stereographic lens provides a 182° horizontal and vertical field of view, supporting wide fisheye coverage. This lens design helps capture a complete indoor scene while allowing dewarped viewing modes for more practical monitoring and investigation.

• Customisable Dewarped Views: Dewarped viewing allows the fisheye image to be displayed in more natural-looking views. Users can choose what to see and where to zoom digitally, with up to four view areas shown simultaneously for better monitoring of different parts of the same room.

• Digital Roll for Easier Setup: Digital roll allows the camera overview rotation to be adjusted remotely after installation. This reduces the need to manually reposition the camera body and helps installers quickly align the panoramic view with the room layout or monitoring preference.

• Lightfinder and Forensic WDR: Lightfinder helps capture useful colour images in low-light indoor conditions, while Forensic WDR improves usability in scenes with bright and dark areas. These technologies support clearer footage around windows, entrances, glass doors, reception areas, and mixed-light interiors.

• Deep Learning Object Analytics: The built-in DLPU supports advanced analytics directly on the edge. AXIS Object Analytics can detect and classify moving objects in the scene, helping improve alert relevance, support forensic search, and provide more actionable event information from panoramic video.

• Built-In Microphone and Audio Support: The AXIS M4328-P includes audio support with a built-in microphone, adding useful scene context for indoor monitoring where audio is permitted and appropriate. Audio can help security teams better understand events occurring within the monitored space.

• 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 especially valuable for 12MP panoramic footage, where efficient compression helps manage network and recording load.

• Compact Indoor Design: The ultra-compact fisheye design makes the camera suitable for discreet indoor surveillance. With repaintable accessory casings available, it can blend into different interiors while providing wide coverage for customer-facing, workplace, education, and public indoor environments.

Specifications Summary

Ideal Use Cases

• Retail Stores – Suitable for sales floors, entrances, checkout zones, aisles, display areas, and customer spaces where one compact camera can provide a wide 360° overview.
• Offices and Reception Areas – Ideal for lobbies, meeting areas, shared workspaces, corridors, waiting rooms, and visitor zones requiring broad indoor visibility from a discreet camera.
• Schools and Education Sites – Useful for libraries, classrooms, hallways, administration spaces, student common areas, and indoor entrances where wide coverage can reduce blind spots.
• Hospitality and Public Spaces – A practical option for restaurants, hotel lobbies, service counters, waiting areas, community spaces, and public indoor environments where full-room awareness is useful.
• Warehouses and Commercial Interiors – Suitable for stock rooms, internal aisles, packing areas, dispatch offices, indoor service areas, and open business spaces requiring panoramic surveillance.

Understanding 180°/360° Panoramic Views

The AXIS M4328-P uses a fisheye lens to capture a complete panoramic scene from one camera. When ceiling mounted, it can provide a 360° overview of the area below. When wall mounted, it can provide a 180° panoramic view. Dewarping helps convert the curved fisheye image into more natural-looking views, while digital PTZ allows users to move around and zoom within the captured image without mechanical camera movement.

Tip:
Use ceiling mounting when full 360° room coverage is the priority, and use wall mounting when a 180° overview is more suitable for entrances, corridors, or customer-facing areas. Since this model does not include built-in IR, ensure the indoor area has suitable lighting after hours if night monitoring is required.

FAQs

1. What is the AXIS M4328-P best suited for?
   The AXIS M4328-P is best suited for indoor panoramic surveillance where one compact camera needs to provide broad 180° or 360° coverage. It is ideal for retail stores, offices, schools, reception areas, waiting rooms, corridors, hospitality venues, public indoor spaces, and open commercial interiors where reducing blind spots is important.
2. Does the AXIS M4328-P support AI analytics?
   Yes, the AXIS M4328-P includes a deep learning processing unit and supports advanced analytics on the edge. Included analytics include AXIS Object Analytics, AXIS Scene Metadata, AXIS Image Health Analytics, and AXIS Video Motion Detection, helping detect relevant activity and support more efficient forensic search.
3. Does the AXIS M4328-P have a built-in microphone?
   Yes, the AXIS M4328-P supports audio and includes a built-in microphone. This can provide extra context for indoor security events where audio recording is permitted and appropriate. Audio use should always follow local privacy, signage, and consent requirements for the installation location.
4. Does the AXIS M4328-P have built-in IR?
   No, the AXIS M4328-P does not include built-in IR or OptimizedIR. It uses Lightfinder and Forensic WDR to improve performance in low light and challenging indoor scenes, but areas that become completely dark may require additional lighting or a different camera model with built-in IR.
5. Is the AXIS M4328-P suitable for outdoor use?
   No, the AXIS M4328-P is an indoor camera and is not outdoor ready. It does not have an IP or vandal rating listed for outdoor protection. For outdoor panoramic surveillance, select an outdoor-rated Axis panoramic model that suits the required resolution, coverage, weather rating, and installation environment.
6. What is the benefit of dewarped views?
   Dewarped views make fisheye footage easier to interpret by converting the curved panoramic image into more natural-looking viewing areas. This allows users to view up to four selected areas simultaneously, digitally pan or zoom within the full scene, and review incidents more comfortably than with a raw fisheye image alone.
