Extra Info
Clear, Consistent Image Quality
The Axis M3116-LVE delivers 4MP resolution at up to 30 fps, making it ideal for scenes where identifying faces or license plates matters. The camera's WDR ensures usable footage in challenging lighting—such as entrances or windows—while Lightfinder enhances low-light color capture, reducing reliance on black-and-white night vision.
Reliable in Any Weather or Light
With a weatherproof IP66 and impact-resistant IK08 housing, this camera is built for tough environments like outdoor entrances, parking areas, or warehouses. Built-in IR LEDs automatically activate in darkness, offering clear vision up to 15 meters even when lighting is absent.
Smart Bandwidth Management
The camera uses Axis’ Zipstream technology, which optimizes compression based on motion and scene complexity. It works seamlessly with H.264 and H.265 formats to reduce storage and bandwidth consumption, making it ideal for systems where resource efficiency matters.
Discreet and Secure Mounting
Its compact, flat-faced design reduces glare and tampering opportunities. The camera can be flush-mounted to ceilings or walls and includes optional accessories for recessed or pendant mounting—making it versatile for homes, shops, and professional buildings.

Q&A
Q: Is this camera suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The Axis M3116-LVE is IP66-rated for water and dust resistance and IK08-rated for impact protection, making it ideal for outdoor installations.
Q: Can it see in total darkness?
Yes. It has built-in IR LEDs with a range of up to 15 meters, allowing it to capture clear footage in complete darkness.
Q: What makes Lightfinder different from regular night vision?
Lightfinder captures color images in low-light conditions where most cameras would switch to black and white, offering more visual detail at night.
Q: Does this camera support audio?
No, the M3116-LVE does not have built-in audio capture. For audio, a separate model with audio input support is required.
Q: What kind of storage or NVR is needed?
It supports both local edge storage (microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC slot) and integration with network video recorders (NVRs) via ONVIF or Axis VMS systems.
