Why Choose the AXIS M4338-PLVE?

12 MP 360° overview (3536x3536) with 180° panorama option
Multiple dewarped views and digital PTZ so one camera replaces several fixed cameras
Forensic WDR and Lightfinder plus OptimizedIR for difficult light
AXIS Object Analytics on a deep learning processing unit
Axis Edge Vault hardware-based cybersecurity
IP66-, NEMA 4X- and IK10-rated for outdoor use from -40 °C to 50 °C
Single-cable PoE (Class 4)

One Camera, Complete Coverage

The fisheye lens covers the whole area with no blind spots. Camera-side dewarped views and digital PTZ give operators ready-to-use views, and the full overview can be streamed alongside up to four dewarped streams.

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 20 m (65 ft) in complete darkness.

AI Analytics Built for Fisheye

AXIS Object Analytics detects, classifies and counts humans and vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes, other) with line crossing, object in area, crossline counting, occupancy, tailgating detection and motion scenarios, using AI models trained for 360° views. AXIS Image Health Analytics and AXIS Scene Metadata are included.

Built-In Cybersecurity

Axis Edge Vault provides a secure element (CC EAL 6+, FIPS 140-3 Level 3), secure boot, signed OS and signed video, and an encrypted filesystem, 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
