One Camera, Complete Coverage

The fisheye lens covers the whole area with no blind spots. View the full 360° overview, or dewarp it into panorama, double panorama, quad, corner, corridor and individual view areas with digital PTZ, so operators can follow activity without switching cameras.

Sharp Images Day and Night

Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB depending on scene) and Lightfinder handle bright and dark areas in the same view, and OptimizedIR with individually controllable LEDs gives even, reflection-free illumination up to 15 m (49 ft) in complete darkness.

AI Analytics Built for Fisheye

AXIS Object Analytics detects and classifies humans and vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes) with line crossing and object in area scenarios, and AXIS Image Health Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata are included.

Built-In Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault provides a secure element (CC EAL 6+), secure boot, signed OS and signed video, with IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec) and HTTPS/TLS for network security.

Typical Applications

Parking lots and drive aisles
Building entrances and courtyards
School grounds and plazas
Intersections of walkways and loading areas
