Extra Info
Advanced Low-Light Performance
Thanks to Axis’ advanced image processing and OptimizedIR, the M4225-LVE delivers clear footage even in complete darkness. The IR LEDs adjust automatically to the scene, preventing overexposure of close objects while maintaining clarity across the entire field of view.
Smart Surveillance with Edge Analytics
The camera includes built-in analytics like motion detection, line crossing, and tampering alarms. These tools help minimize false alarms and allow security teams to respond faster to real incidents — all without needing expensive external software.
Durable in Every Environment
Built for tough outdoor or exposed indoor installations, this camera is both IK10 vandal-resistant and IP66 weatherproof. Its wide operating temperature range makes it ideal for entry points, parking lots, and perimeter monitoring in challenging climates.
Flexible Viewing and Easy Setup
Its varifocal lens offers a field of view from 36° to 100°, enabling wide area coverage or focused observation. Combined with remote zoom and focus, installation is quicker and easier for professionals and DIYers alike.
