Key Info
Smart AI at the Edge
Equipped with a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), the M4215-LV enables real-time detection and classification of humans, vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes), and more—right on the camera, reducing server load and speeding up response times.
Reliable Imaging Day & Night
This camera delivers sharp 2 MP video using Lightfinder and WDR up to 110 dB for clear scenes in challenging light. Optimised IR ensures visibility in total darkness up to 20 meters.
Discreet & Flexible Installation
Compact and paintable, the camera supports ceiling or wall mounts using optional accessories. Remote zoom and focus, Corridor Format, and a level grid simplify setup.
Robust Cybersecurity with Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault ensures device integrity through secure boot, signed firmware, and encrypted storage. Hardware-level safeguards protect against unauthorized access and tampering.
Efficient Streaming and Integration
Axis Zipstream with H.264/H.265 minimizes storage and bandwidth. HDMI output allows public viewing, while support for ONVIF, VAPIX API, SIP, and MQTT enables integration with third-party systems.
