Clear Video Even in Pitch Darkness
Built-in OptimizedIR lights scenes in complete darkness up to 20 m (66 ft) or more depending on the scene, with no extra lighting needed. Lightfinder 2.0 delivers color with minimal motion blur in near darkness, and Forensic WDR keeps detail in scenes with both bright and dark areas, even with motion.
Hear What Cameras Miss
An integrated acoustic sensor runs AXIS Audio Analytics to detect key sounds such as screams, shouts, glass break, speech and coughing fits, as well as changes in sound pressure level. Detections can trigger automated responses on other devices, making the M3138-LVE a strong fit for hallways and entrances where a sound is often the first sign of trouble.
AI Analytics on the Edge
AXIS Object Analytics comes preinstalled to detect, classify, track and count humans and vehicles, with scenarios including line crossing, object in area, time in area, occupancy, crossline counting and tailgating detection. AXIS Image Health Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata are also included.
Faster, Simpler Installation
Direct installation view lets installers see and adjust the camera view in the AXIS Installer app on a phone or tablet over Bluetooth, without accessing the network (available in selected markets). The flat-faced design suppresses light reflections and mounts on walls or ceilings.
Built-In Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault safeguards the device with a secure element certified to FIPS 140-3 Level 3, plus signed OS, secure boot, signed video, an encrypted filesystem and a host-based firewall.
Typical Applications
- School entrances, hallways and stairwells
- Parking areas and drop-off loops
- Retail entrances and back-of-house doors
- Healthcare corridors and waiting areas
