The AXIS M4308-PLE is a discreet mini dome designed for outdoor use, crafted to seamlessly integrate into any environment. Equipped with a 12 MP sensor and a stereographic lens, it provides exceptional image quality and a comprehensive 360° panoramic overview. The inclusion of Sharp-dome 360 enhances sharpness at the image edges. This panoramic camera features AXIS Object Analytics, and its deep learning processing unit (DLPU) opens up unique possibilities for edge-based analytics leveraging deep learning.
The camera incorporates Axis Light-finder and Axis Forensic WDR technologies to ensure accurate colours and detailed images in challenging lighting conditions or near darkness. Additionally, Axis Optimised IR facilitates surveillance in complete darkness. With four built-in microphones and a voice enhancer, the camera excels in audio capture, offering impressive noise suppression capabilities.
