The 4.25–127.5 mm lens zooms from a 63.8° to a 2.6° horizontal field of view with autofocus. The camera pans 360° endlessly and tilts 180° at 0.05°–450°/s, with E-flip, 256 presets, guard tours (max 100), tour recording, a control queue and focus recall.
Analytics and Autotracking
AXIS Object Analytics detects and classifies humans and vehicles in line crossing, object in area, crossline counting and time in area scenarios. AXIS Video Motion Detection, AXIS Motion Guard, AXIS Fence Guard, AXIS Loitering Guard, autotracking 2, active gatekeeper, audio detection and basic analytics (object removed, enter/exit, object counter) are included.
Cybersecurity
Axis Edge Vault with TPM 2.0 (CC EAL4+, FIPS 140-2 Level 2), secure keystore and secure boot protects the device, alongside signed OS, brute force delay protection and SD card encryption. IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, HTTPS/HSTS, TLS v1.2/v1.3 and a host-based firewall protect the network side.
Indoor Installation, Power and Audio
The IP52-rated aluminum casing with an acrylic clear dome runs from 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F). It is powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 4, typical 11 W, max 17.1 W) or 24 V AC/DC through the multiconnector, which also carries two-way audio and four configurable I/O ports (multicable sold separately). A PoE+ midspan, a recessed mount for hard and drop ceilings and a smoked dome cover are included.
