A 1/2.7″ progressive-scan CMOS sensor paired with a fixed 2.9 mm F2.0 lens gives a wide 102° horizontal field of view for broad coverage of entrances, forecourts and side paths. Axis Lightfinder reproduces accurate colour in extreme low light, while Forensic WDR (up to 120 dB) keeps faces and number plates legible against bright backgrounds. When light disappears entirely, OptimizedIR 850 nm LEDs illuminate the scene to 30 m or more.
Deep Learning on the Edge
The ARTPEC-8 DLPU runs AXIS Object Analytics directly on the camera, detecting and classifying humans and vehicles (cars, buses, trucks, bikes) with line-crossing, object-in-area, counting and occupancy scenarios — up to 10 at once.
Audio & I/O Connectivity
A 3.5 mm mic/line input and a supervised digital input plus digital output let you add a microphone or trigger external devices, with two-way audio via edge-to-edge technology and network-speaker pairing.
Built for Australian Conditions
The IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X polycarbonate housing operates from -40 °C to 50 °C and ships with a weathershield, so it withstands sun, rain and impact across the harshest sites.
Cybersecurity Built In
Axis Edge Vault with a secure element (CC EAL 6+), Axis device ID, signed firmware, signed video and secure boot protect the device and the integrity of your footage.
What resolution is the Axis M3216-LVE?It captures 4 MP video at up to 2688×1512 (16:9) and 30 fps in all resolutions.
Does it work in the dark?Yes. Axis Lightfinder delivers colour in very low light, and built-in OptimizedIR 850 nm LEDs reach 30 m or more for total darkness.
What analytics does it support?The ARTPEC-8 DLPU runs AXIS Object Analytics on the edge, classifying humans and vehicles with up to 10 scenarios including line crossing, object-in-area and counting.
Is it weatherproof for outdoor use?Yes. It is rated IP66, IK10 and NEMA 4X, operates from -40 °C to 50 °C, and ships with a weathershield.
How is it powered?Via Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af/at Type 1 Class 3), typically 4.8 W, so a single network cable handles data and power.
Does it have audio and I/O?Yes. It offers two-way audio via edge-to-edge, a 3.5 mm mic/line input, plus one supervised digital input and one digital output.
Is the Axis M3216-LVE NDAA compliant?Yes. As an Axis Communications camera it is NDAA Section 889 and TAA compliant, suitable for government and enterprise projects.
What VMS and storage does it work with?It supports AXIS Companion and AXIS Camera Station, ONVIF Profile G/M/S/T, microSD card recording with encryption and NAS recording.
What warranty applies in Australia?It carries a 5-year Axis warranty, backed by Australian stock, fast AU-wide shipping and local tech support from CCTV Guru.
