AXIS Communications M2048-LE 8MP AI Powered Mini Bullet Outdoor Network Camera, 03255-001

AXIS M2048-LE 8MP 4K Network Bullet Camera

The AXIS M2048-LE (Part #03255-001) is an affordable, professional-grade 8 MP 4K outdoor network bullet camera designed to deliver high-quality surveillance in challenging lighting and demanding outdoor environments. Featuring a light-sensitive 1/1.8" CMOS sensor, 3840 x 2160 resolution, and a wide 126° horizontal field of view, the AXIS M2048-LE provides detailed video and broad-area coverage from a compact, lightweight camera.

With Forensic WDR and Axis Lightfinder technology, the M2048-LE produces clear, usable images in scenes containing both bright and dark areas and performs well in difficult lighting conditions. Built-in infrared illumination provides reliable surveillance in complete darkness with an effective range of up to 30 meters (98 feet).

8MP 4K Image Quality with Wide-Area Coverage

The AXIS M2048-LE captures video at up to 8 MP / 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at 15 fps. Its 3.7 mm fixed lens provides a 126° horizontal and 67° vertical field of view, making it well suited for monitoring entrances, parking areas, retail locations, commercial properties, warehouses, and other areas requiring wide coverage.

Axis Zipstream technology helps reduce network bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining important image details. The camera supports both H.264 and H.265 video compression.

Built-In AI Video Analytics

The AXIS M2048-LE includes powerful edge-based analytics through AXIS Object Analytics, which can detect and classify people and vehicles. AXIS Image Health Analytics is also preinstalled to help identify image-quality issues.

These built-in analytics make the M2048-LE more than a conventional 4K security camera, providing intelligent surveillance capabilities without requiring all processing to be performed on a central server.

Built for Outdoor Surveillance

The white AXIS M2048-LE is designed for reliable indoor and outdoor installation. It features IP66 and IP67 protection against dust and water, IK08 impact protection, and a built-in weathershield designed to protect the camera from rain and wind.

The camera operates in temperatures from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F) and is designed to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 60 m/s (134 mph). It supports flexible wall and ceiling installation and can also be installed on poles and corners with optional mounting accessories.

Easy Installation with PoE

The AXIS M2048-LE supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for convenient network connectivity and power through a single cable. Its factory-focused lens eliminates the need for manual focus adjustment, helping installers complete deployments quickly.

Bluetooth-enabled direct installation viewing also allows installers to view and adjust the camera's field of view using the AXIS Installer application without accessing the network.

Advanced Cybersecurity

Built-in Axis Edge Vault provides hardware-based cybersecurity designed to protect the camera and sensitive information from unauthorized access. The M2048-LE includes secure boot, a signed operating system, and secure cryptographic key storage using a Secure Element with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.
