The AXIS M32 Dome Camera Series is a versatile range of fixed-dome cameras built for dependable everyday surveillance indoors or outdoors, with models including the AXIS M3215-LVE (2 MP, up to 1920×1080) and AXIS M3216-LVE (4 MP, up to 2688×1512). Designed to perform in tough conditions, these domes are IK10 vandal-resistant, IP66 outdoor-ready, and ship with a weathershield to help protect against rain, snow, and sun, while PoE and included mounting hardware simplify installation on ceilings, walls, or junction boxes. Image quality is strong in challenging scenes thanks to Lightfinder for low-light colour, Forensic WDR for high-contrast environments, and OptimizedIR for viewing in total darkness (up to 30 m / 98 ft or more depending on the scene). Built on ARTPEC-8 with a deep learning processing unit (DLPU), the M32 Series supports advanced on-edge analytics—such as AXIS Object Analytics—and can be expanded with tailored applications via ACAP (v4), while audio support and I/O allow broader integration (for example adding a microphone or triggering events). For efficient, secure deployments, the series supports H.264/H.265 with Axis Zipstream to reduce bandwidth and storage, plus built-in cybersecurity including Axis Edge Vault to help protect device identity and reduce unauthorised access.
AXIS M32 Dome Camera Series
- Clear video, day or night: Up to 4 MP image quality with Lightfinder, Forensic WDR, and OptimizedIR to keep faces and details usable in low light, harsh backlight, and total darkness.
- Tough, discreet, and outdoor-ready: IK10-rated vandal resistance plus an integrated weathershield to handle rain, snow, and sun—ideal for entrances, retail, schools, and public-facing areas.
- Smarter and more secure on the edge: Support for advanced edge analytics (model-dependent) and built-in cybersecurity including Axis Edge Vault to help protect device identity and reduce unauthorised access—while efficient streaming helps control bandwidth and storage.
