Extra Info
Low-Light Performance with Lightfinder 2.0
Unlike traditional cameras that switch to black-and-white early in low light, Lightfinder 2.0 keeps color detail visible longer—useful for capturing accurate clothing colors, license plates, or intruder features even at night.
Reliable Surveillance Anytime, Anywhere
This camera is built for extremes. Whether monitoring a warehouse in sub-zero temperatures or an exterior gate under harsh rain, the rugged housing and electronic image stabilization ensure continuous operation and consistent footage.
Analytics Support with Deep Learning
The built-in deep learning processing unit (DLPU) makes this camera ideal for smart video analytics—such as license plate recognition or motion tracking—without needing external hardware, perfect for facilities aiming to automate alerts or behavior detection.
Secure and Future-Ready
With Axis Edge Vault, secure boot, and signed firmware, your surveillance system is protected from unauthorized access and malware. It’s a smart investment for installations where security integrity is as important as image quality.
