Axis M2048-LE 8 MP Outdoor Bullet IP Camera - 03255-001

Axis M2048-LE is a compact, bullet-shaped surveillance camera that delivers highly detailed 4K Ultra HD video. Designed for outdoor installation, M2048-LE has a wide-angle lens for general coverage of open areas. The camera has a powerful System on a Chip with deep learning processing unit that lets it run AI-powered analytics on the edge. It's built on Axis OS, which is tailored for advanced security camera functionality.

Axis Object Analytics automatically detects, organizes, tracks, and counts objects across a range of classes and a range of scenarios; it also supports ONVIF Motion Alarm events. Axis Scene Metadata makes video much more searchable and usable. Axis Live Privacy Shield protects individuals' privacy while retaining necessary surveillance information. Axis Image Health Analytics ensures image quality so you can be confident your video security system is working optimally. Axis Video Motion Detection allows the camera to automatically trigger an event (like an alarm) when movement is detected within an area you define.

M2048-LE is out-of-the-box ready with a spacious, sealed back box for simple, secure cable management. The lens is factory-focused and you can see and adjust the camera view during installation via Bluetooth using the Axis Installer application for smartphones and tablets. The camera deals with challenging lighting conditions via a range of technologies. Forensic WDR lets it adapt to high-contrast lighting like car headlamps to retain much more detail. Lightfinder reproduces colors more accurately in extreme low-light. It even has built-in OptimizedIR infrared lights for no-light surveillance. With support for ultra-efficient H.265 (HEVC) video compression and support for Axis Zipstream, which reduces video size without compromising important detail, M2048-LE also saves on bandwidth and storage requirements. You can store video in camera using a microSD card.

Cybersecurity is incorporated from the ground up with Axis Edge Vault, a hardware-based solution that includes secure key storage with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Certified cryptographic key storage. M2048-LE is an exceptionally robust camera, despite its size. It comes with a weathershield to protect it from the elements. It withstands external ice formation, high water pressure, salt spray, sand, and more; it can even withstand hurricane-force winds of up to 134 mph.
