Extra Info

Panoramic Coverage with Edge-to-Edge Clarity
Unlike standard fisheye cameras, the AXIS M4308-PLE uses a stereographic lens combined with Sharpdome 360 to maintain image sharpness all the way to the edges. This makes it ideal for wide-area monitoring in retail floors, warehouses, entrances, or large indoor/outdoor spaces—covering everything with a single device.

Reliable Identification in Any Light
Equipped with Axis Lightfinder and Forensic WDR, this camera delivers vivid color in near darkness and preserves fine details in scenes with both bright and dark areas—such as glass doors, entryways, and dimly lit corners. OptimizedIR kicks in automatically for reliable vision in total darkness, without drawing attention.

Smarter Alerts with Onboard Analytics
With its built-in DLPU (Deep Learning Processing Unit), the M4308-PLE can distinguish between people and vehicles, detect specific behaviors like line crossing or loitering, and generate real-time alerts—all without needing a separate analytics server. This allows for proactive monitoring and faster incident response.

Flexible Views from a Single Camera
The camera supports multiple dewarped view modes—panorama, corridor, corner, quad, and custom cropped areas—allowing operators or VMS software to monitor different zones as if they had several separate cameras. All views can stream simultaneously.

Built-In Audio for Enhanced Situational Awareness
Four integrated microphones capture directional audio with noise suppression and voice enhancement, helping verify incidents and capture useful context in noisy environments like loading bays, car parks, or retail stores.

Built to Withstand Harsh Environments
Its vandal-resistant IK10-rated housing and IP66/NEMA 4X weatherproofing make it suitable for exposed outdoor locations. It’s designed to endure extreme temperatures, impact, dust, and heavy rain, ensuring long-term durability in any installation.

Strong Security from the Inside Out
Cybersecurity features include Axis Edge Vault, secure boot, signed firmware, and encrypted storage—offering strong protection against digital threats and compliance with modern IT security requirements.
