Axis M3205-LVE 1080p Outdoor Network Dome Camera with Night Vision

Overview

The Axis 01517-001 is an outdoor network dome camera designed to provide clear 1080p video surveillance for storefronts, parking areas, warehouses, and other exposed locations where dependable monitoring is critical. It captures full HD video at 30 frames per second using a 1/2.9-inch RGB CMOS sensor paired with a 3.1 mm lens that offers a horizontal field of view close to 100 degrees. This wide coverage allows you to monitor large sections of a perimeter with fewer cameras, making it a practical choice for various outdoor security needs.

Equipped with built-in infrared LEDs, the camera ensures visibility up to 65 feet in complete darkness, while a removable IR-cut filter automatically switches between day and night modes to maintain accurate color representation. Its rugged housing meets IP66 and IK10 standards, protecting against harsh weather and vandalism, and Power over Ethernet simplifies installation by combining power and data transmission into a single cable.

Key features

• Full HD 1920 × 1080 resolution at 30 fps delivers detailed and smooth video footage for effective surveillance.
• Wide 3.1 mm lens provides nearly 100 degrees of horizontal view, reducing the number of cameras needed to cover large areas.
• Integrated infrared LEDs enable night vision up to 65 feet, ensuring round-the-clock monitoring capability.
• Durable housing rated IP66 for weather resistance and IK10 for impact protection, suitable for challenging outdoor environments.
