Extra Info
Designed for Discreet Security
The M3104-LVE is engineered to blend in without compromising performance. Its compact, dome-style design makes it suitable for customer-facing areas, while its outdoor-ready build ensures durability against weather and tampering. You can install it in tight spaces—like entryways, porches, or small shops—without drawing attention.
Reliable Night Vision with IR
Integrated infrared LEDs allow this camera to see even in complete darkness. With no need for external lighting, it’s a smart choice for low-light installations like back doors, parking areas, or storage units.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Performance
WDR ensures visibility in scenes with harsh lighting contrast, such as a doorway where bright sunlight meets indoor shadows. This helps retain facial and object detail in both bright and dark areas.
Efficient Storage and Streaming
Axis Zipstream technology optimizes H.264 video compression to reduce file size—saving storage and bandwidth—while preserving important forensic detail. Combined with edge storage capabilities, it ensures redundancy even if network connectivity is lost.
Built to Withstand the Elements
With its IP66-rated casing, the M3104-LVE resists dust, rain, and snow. IK08 vandal resistance also means it can be mounted in vulnerable areas without worrying about damage from tampering or impact.
